changing client.eye

I am having some troubles changing the client.eye variable. Whenever I change it to something that is farther than 10 tiles away from the client.mob, the screen goes completely black until the client's mob is within 10 tiles. Does anyone know why this is, or how to get around it?

            PvP_Locate(list/_side1, list/_side2)
                var/mob/t = _side1[1]
                var/mob/r = _side2[1]
                for(var/mob/m in _side1)
                    m.client.eye = r.loc
                    m.icon = 'playericons.dmi'
                for(var/mob/m in _side2)
                    m.client.eye = t.loc
                    m.icon = 'playericons.dmi'


This code works perfectly fine, it's just as I stated above, I only see a black screen until the mob is within 10 tiles of the eye. Perhaps this is a BYOND bug? Or maybe I am just overlooking something, after all it is 5am and I havn't slept yet... Any ideas?

Don't lie. If you don't code in the wee hours of the night, you're not a true programmer. You problem is that you didn't have enough cheetos and Mt. Dew.

I don't like cheetos or mountain dew :( I am more of a Dorito's and Dr. Pepper kinda guy :D
