Title: respawn and eventhandlers
Post by: Mr.Peanut on 11 Sep 2008, 17:36:24

I could have sworn I read somwhere on the Biki that when players respawn you do not need to re-add any eventhandlers to them. I think it must only be a unit's init eventhandler. Does anyone know from experience?

Event handlers are persistent (i.e. they stay attached to a unit, even after it dies and respawns).

@i0n0s: You can't respawn in SP, so it isn't an issue.

When a player respawns, he definitely keeps all event handlers applied to a previous incarnation via addEventHandler (he obviously still has any hard-coded event handlers applied in config too). The init isn't run again though, but XEH 1.8 intruduced a "run init again on respawn" flag. Not sure about respawning vehicles, but only because I've never tried it.

Thanks. Kept looking at that page and missing that one line of text. Old age you know...
