[BUG-6999] Bug-5962, causing issues with Unity/Spellfire weapons used in metered combat sims

[sl-service-account]

Steps to Reproduce

Metered combat, one on one, or in groups. Makes the scripting code useless.

Actual Behavior

Combat systems use damage prims, and different weapons have respective ranges, depending on how long the damage prims LIVES. For example, a dagger's range now surpasses a polearm's reach. It seems all weapons are experiencing similar range now due to this bug. The IIDie is happening at the same time for each kind of weapon.

Expected Behavior

I would expect the scripts to work as they have been since 2006

Other information

The creators of the code and the weapons they are put into would have to rewrite and replace hundreds of thousands of weapons. The players would have to spend untold amounts of money to replace their current, unusable weapons. The time and money (since 2006) already invested in the scripting, meters, and weapons are thrown away.

Good morning. Please do not file duplicate bugs. They will be closed. That issue has already been imported and is being investigated.
