declaring for 'This'

[djhubertus]

I saw on some scripts that it's possible to declare variables for This but I can't find any informations about that. Is it declaration to server?

'This' represents the current context (CMlBrowser in Manialinks, CEditorPlugin in editor plugins, C(T|S)mMode in gamemodes etc) being the "entry point" to access e.g. CMlScript::Page as implicit This.Page.
As I understand it, it is the most general qualified object you could 'declare for'.

(However I don't have experience with using persistent declarations for This. I would assume that declaring persistent variables for the CMlBrowser itself could be available to every Manialink as they share the Browser whereas the Page variable is associated with a certain page.)

Declaring stuff for LocalUser is helpful in keeping data between manialinks and other places, like plugins. However this doesn't work well if there is no title pack loaded.
