Entity.ownerNum & Entity.frame are "linked" to the same value in a gametype script

[qwertyuiopasd1113]

Entity @broadcasterEnt = @G_SpawnEntity( "capture_indicator_sprite" );
@broadcasterEnt.owner = @ent;
broadcasterEnt.ownerNum = ent.entNum;
broadcasterEnt.frame = 64;
broadcasterEnt.type = ET_RADAR;
broadcasterEnt.solid = SOLID_NOT;
broadcasterEnt.modelindex = G_ImageIndex( "gfx/indicators/radar" );
broadcasterEnt.svflags = ( SVF_BROADCAST | SVF_OWNERANDCHASERS );
broadcasterEnt.team = ent.team;
broadcasterEnt.origin = Vec3(0,0,0);

(ent should be the players entity)

When checking the value of broadcasterEnt.ownerNum, it is 64. When the order of setting ownerNum and frame is switched, broadcasterEnt.ownerNum is set correctly, but broadcasterEnt.frame is set to the same value as ownerNum
