Singleton entities | metalgearsloth

I’ve had to use these before so stuff serializes properly (e.g. arrivals map, centcomm map)
Do we add engine support (atm I have been using AllEntityQuery<T> and returns but would be nice to reduce duplication)
- Sure WYCI
Gamerules are doing something similar as well (e.g. making nukeops exclusive or whatever if it’s a nukeops round)
- Game rules shouldn’t all be singletons, but it’s fine if someone codes one that is.

So for example device networks don’t cleanup data and have a bunch of invalid entity references which maploader prunes but this is mid
There’s other instances of this too where you need to do bi-directional entity termination handling
Do we just add some way to subscribe to a particular entity deleting as an easier way to handle this E.G
Yes WYCI, but also when any disconnection not just deletion
- EntityA references EntityB
- EntityB has no practical reason to reference EntityA besides cleanup
- EntityA subscribes to EntityB termination (like a dictionary or something) and cleans itself up, meaning you don’t need to add any extra handling on EntityB and the datafield stays clean
This would also handle cases where it might be EntityA + EntityC + EntityD referencing EntityB and you don’t need to add some list to bloat out EntityB
Alternative we just keep storing references in components ig

We allow docs that won’t be implemented by the author as long as either the design doc is good or someone else wants to implement it.
- If a design doc is left accepted but not implemented for a long time we can remove it later.
- This gives a list of things to implement for contributors and maintainers.

Ahelp relay does not tell you whether the player has disconnected or not. [23716]

Crashes / Critical bugs: (when are we moving these to GitHub)

Crashes the server reliably.
Something that bricks your client often (needs a client restart).
- Example: Blackscreens the client until you reconnect.
If something ruins the round and is disabled because of it.
- Example: Communal lung bug. => till next time like and subscribe smash that button ~~did you know only 6% of contribs join this meeting?~~ According to YouTube’s statistics,
