Ah yes, I just noticed that. Macro Hell - is that a real thing? Now I just
gotta figure out why this:
SendPropInt (SENDINFO(m_iMental), 12, SPROP_UNSIGNED),
Causes this:
Error 1 error C2039: 'MakeANetworkVar_m_iMental' : is not a
member of 'CBasePlayer' c:\canvas_src\src\game\server\player.cpp 7769
Server (Episodic)
I see that SENDINFO references it... I've searched and searched. WTF, over?
Is there some document, or tut, or anything for this stuff, so I don't have to
keep pestering you guys?
