Sweavo/MutYouDontQuitThatEasy

The mutator has a reference to a ScoreHolder which subclasses actor. On prebeginplay it creates one called dummy and sets its playerID to 0.


23/02/2006 Bug found :-(

It has been intermittently giving people a score when they join the server. I think this is due to different players sharing a playerhash. Try GameStats.GetStatsIdentifier() instead.

}

When CheckReplacement spots a TeamPlayerReplicationInfo being created, it calls Dummy.LoadScore passing in the player's stats ID and the PRI itself. If the player's score is not stored, this has no effect on the PRI.

When NotifyLogout is called, Dummy.SaveScore is called with the same parameters.

Recursively, if the ScoreHolder.PlayerID matches the stats id then it sets the score, kills, deaths, and headcount; else it recurses on its Next. If Next is nothing then it simply returns without loading anything into the PRI.

Savescore recurses in the same manner except if the Next==Nothing then it spawns a new ScoreHolder and sets its PlayerID to the passed-in Stats ID, then when it recurses one more time it will match, and save the score in that slot. By recursing one more time we keep all the actual save logic in one place. The recursion only happens when someone quits the game so it's hardly going to being the server to its knees :-)

Since the ScoreHolders are all actors, they are destroyed at level end.

There may be a bug in the load: I don't know whether there are other reasons for a PRI to be created? If this happens the player's score will be loaded from the buffer (if present - i.e. if the player has quit at any stage). I can't imagine that PRIs are created at any time other than player joining the server, but hey.
