attribute in a CTmPlayer class

[TheBigMiike]

I want your help again because I want to create an attribute in a CTmPlayer class in order to store the amount of times a player pressed the 'Restart' button but I read somewhere in the ManiaPlanet documentation (I'm not sure) that it was not possible.

So my decision was to create an array with the Player object as index and the count as value but I think there is a better solution for that so i'm wondering the following question :

My Question :
Is there an easier way to attach this data (The amount of restart times) to a player ?
Do you use this kind of array for these datas ? Else, which solution you use ?

Player.CurRace / Player.CurLap
Score.BestRace / Score.PrevRace / Score.BestLap

You can basically dynamically extend existing structures like CTmPlayer using

Code: Select all

declare Type blabla for playerinstance = default;

Then the "blabla" variable in that scope will belong to the playerinstance.
These values do not cross the server-client boundary, though.

You can add some "as alias" construct too to locally "rename" it, in case you have potentially conflicting variable names (e.g. when having two players in the same scope).

For netwrite/netread it's good to send data arrays via Teams[0] with logins as keys. Then instead sharing custom data for player only (UI), you can also display custom data of spectated player.
Example:

Code: Select all

Net_PlayerHighestJump[Player.User.Login] = Player.Position.Y;
