Hacked spectres causing a server crash in Attrition

[CTalvio]

Hello! There seems to be a crash that occurs when spectres are hacked. Something goes wrong with their teamswitch.

The relevant log snippet would seem to be:

[23:29:00] [SCRIPT SV] [info] SCRIPT ERROR: [SERVER] ERROR: Squad 'player13spectreSquad' has enemies in it! 523 npc_spectre [523] doesn't like 515 npc_spectre [515]

Addition: It does not happen every time, and seems somewhat rare. Though this may be due to how seldom players actually bother hacking spectres in multiplayer.

Crash is on client or server? What gamemode? (I guess Attrition, cause idk if you can hack spectres in other modes)

[CTalvio]

Attrition, on server.

Seems there might be more than one way spectre hacking can cause issues?

[F1F7Y]

first one is probably caused by the player switching teams
second one is a probelm in ai spawning code

[ASpoonPlaysGames]

first one is probably caused by the player switching teams

This could be solved by switching all hacked spectres when the player gets switched.

second one is a probelm in ai spawning code

This one is just going to be a simple fix, couple of lines at worst

[GeckoEidechse]

first one is probably caused by the player switching teams

This could be solved by switching all hacked spectres when the player gets switched.

Could probably also just kill them off when the player switches. At least I assume that's less hassle to deal with ^^"
Unless there's a need to keep them around?
