Register Event fix for duplicate Scripts

Hi.

here is the idea :
the return value of registerev shouldn't be 1 if it's already registered . it should be 1and the location of the file/thread it's registered to .
eg .

local.result = registerev "connected" ThisScriptPath.scr::connected

if(local.result[0])

{

local.OtherThreadPath = local.result[1]

local.result = unregisterev "connected"

local.result = registerev "connected" ThisScriptPath.scr::connected local.OtherThreadPath

}

end

connected local.player local.otherthread:

if(local.otherthread )

thread local.otherthread local.player

//  script here

end

so the idea is to return where the other thread that the event is registered to and unregister the event then register it to our thread and from our thread we execute the other thread . hope someone got the idea :)

My EventHandler implements fixes for things like this, it allows multiple scripts to be assigned to each event, either with a simple place in correct folder or a register thread, it also includes a feedback system which shows which scripts are registered for which events.

then it must be added to reborn pk3 :) , as stock reborn pk3 , I know the idea of ur mod but we needa fix the command itself , not all modders use it :(

Command is not broken so it doesn't need a fix. What Purple did, is he created a wrapper, or facade (you name it), which extends the standard API.

Bad idea is to let the mod know where other event was registered and allow mods to unregister not their own handlers.

Mod Framework is in the works, and will support higher level of abstraction for underlying API.


EDIT:

By the way you can already do this with new scripting functions, which really shows their POWER:

You can list all PK3 files
You can list all .scr files which are not in standard paks
You can open each of them
You can search for registerev and parse the text
You can implement what you wanted

I'm not sure if it's worth it, and I'm sure it's a bad idea.
