Where does the players object constructor get called in OpenJK?

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?

The player entity is always the 0 element in the g_entities array. Usually the game is pretty good about making a unique "player" entity. So if that's your goal, you can change the if statement to simply

if (ent == player)
{
  // Your stuff goes here
}
