The LifeIdentifier check that was added for NW bug #2811 inlined the old `!PreviousOwner.CompareLife(player.ReferenceHub)` condition but dropped the negation, turning `!=` into `==`. UniqueLifeIdentifier is a global per-life counter, so it only matches when `player` is the thrower himself, never for teammates. With `==` the second half of the condition is false for every teammate, the `continue` never runs, and they all get flashed even with FF disabled. Flipping it back to `!=` restores the teammate skip while keeping the LifeIdentifier intent for the NW fix.

Description
Describe the changes
Fixes an inverted condition in
ExplodingFlashGrenade.ProcessEventthat letflashbangs blind teammates even when friendly fire is disabled.
Same fix as #838, targeted at
masteras requested (by Yamato) so it lands in the currentrelease line too.
What is the current behavior?
The teammate skip checks
instance.PreviousOwner.LifeIdentifier == player.Footprint.LifeIdentifier.UniqueLifeIdentifieris a global per-life counter, so that only matches whenplayeris the thrower himself, never a teammate. Thecontinuethereforenever runs for teammates and they get flashed with FF off.
This came from inlining the old
!instance.PreviousOwner.CompareLife(player.ReferenceHub)check.
CompareLifeisLifeIdentifier == other...UniqueLifeIdentifier, so therewrite dropped the negation and turned
!=into==.What is the new behavior?
Flipped back to
!=, so the condition is true for every teammate again and theyare correctly skipped. The LifeIdentifier comparison stays in place, so the
NW #2811 fix intent is preserved.
Does this PR introduce a breaking change?
No.
