Making a catch-all DoXForPlayer

What about hooking the RakNet broadcast method? That way, it could be customized who the next packets get sent to.

This would give a lot of flexibility to Pawn scripters.

For example:

// This would enable/disable the functionality
native SetExclusiveBroadcast(toggle);
// This would add a player to the list of who will receive the packet
native BroadCastToPlayer(playerid, toggle = true);

public OnPlayerConnect(playerid) {
    SetExclusiveBroadcast(true);
    BroadCastToPlayer(playerid);
    SetGravity(0.0);
    SetExclusiveBroadcast(false);

    return 1;
}

I like this oscar's idea, it's not bad at all, it has some niche but very cool uses.

Hm..

Just an idiot question :D
Now I know how to hook RakServer::RPC, it's very easy.

BroadCastToPlayer would add given players into a vector, and while SetExclusiveBroadcast is true, only that players would get RPC's whose in that vector.

I hope it would work.

Is this possible now?

I'll look after but now I think it's now closer to possible like it was before.

E: Theroticaly, it's yes.
