Recruit

In SSGMGameManager::PowerupPurchaseHook, SSGMGameManager::VehiclePurchaseHook, and SSGMGameManager::CharacterPurchaseHook methods of gmgame.cpp, there appears to be a slight logic error. Each of them contain something along the lines of:

		int ret = RegisteredEvents[EVENT_CHARACTER_PURCHASE_HOOK][i]->OnCharacterPurchase(base,purchaser,cost,preset,data);
		if (ret != -1)
		{
			return ret;
		}
		if (ret == -2)
		{
			fp = true;
		}

The second if statement will never be reached in the even which it is true, as when ret == -2, it will have already return.
I'm assuming the intended behavior would have:

		int ret = RegisteredEvents[EVENT_CHARACTER_PURCHASE_HOOK][i]->OnCharacterPurchase(base,purchaser,cost,preset,data);
		if (ret == -2)
		{
			fp = true;
		}
		else if (ret != -1)
		{
			return ret;
		}

Edits:
Also, will there be a method implemented into the Plugin class to allow for plugins to detect player/vehicle/building/object deaths? I'm trying to avoid modifying scripts.dll directly for my IRC bot.

You seem to be right. I will apply your fix when I am home.

You can define a script in your plugin, override the Killed or Destroyed method, and attach it in the object creation hook. You do not need to change scripts.dll for this to work afaik.

^ Check out the example plugin included with SSGM, it does pretty much this, although it doesn't define the ::Killed or ::Destroyed event if I recall, but you can probably do this yourself if you know what you're doing. Rocked Over
