I've seen the warden duplicate itself when it is controlled by the
enemy, put an enemy warden on your test map and let it go visible and
invisible a few times, I've found it'll duplicate eventually. I think
it might be a bug in the transform script. Hopefully when Ian returns
and helps Craig finish his script flags this problem will be fixed.
