Where does the players object constructor get called in OpenJK?


Recommended Posts

So Im playing with adding new player/NPC stats to the game

I started with adding new variables to the PlayerStateBase class defined in q_shared.h. I set default values in that definition, then set new values depending on the NPC class in the NPC_Begin function located in NPC_Spawn, ie:

 

if ( ent->client->NPC_class == CLASS_KYLE)
{
	ent->client->ps.wisdom = 12;
	ent->client->ps.charisma = 20;
	ent->client->ps.dexterity = 17;
}


I can then access this variable elsewhere in functions in say, wp_saber.cpp, using:

 

attacker->client->ps.wisdom;


So I now have added custom attributes to all NPCs and the player, and can access them in functions, but I cant seem to set specific values for the player, when I did

 

if ( ent->client->NPC_class == CLASS_PLAYER)
{
	ent->client->ps.wisdom = 10;
	ent->client->ps.charisma = 9;
	ent->client->ps.dexterity = 11;
}


the default values never update, because NPC_Begin(...) only initializes NPCs, and the player isnt an NPC. Ive done some digging trying to find where the player gets initialized, but cant find it. SP_NPC_Player(...) in NPC_Spawn.cpp looked like it, but adding the lines to set custom attributes at the end of that function did nothing.

Where is the player entity initialized in OpenJK?
