Discord question:
is it possible to detect when a player respawns (not retire)? specifically the point you're in control again, so when you pass the cp in case of flying respawn, and when you can drive in case of secondary respawn

Example:
https://openplanet.dev/plugin/norespawntimer

LatestCPTime contains the time data for one frame, then reverts to zero.

Currently, when in any editor, Update exits early. I would request the ability to collect vehicle, checkpoint, time, etc. data while testing or validating a map.

Maps with LinkedCheckpoint is counted even if it's the same group

https://github.com/thommie-echo/TMNext-PlayerState/blob/main/PlayerState/AR_Data.as#L668-L669

For example the map Summer 2022 - 04 has basically 3 checkpoints, but on the map has 5 checkpoints because 4 checkpoints are considered as "linked"

So the plugin count as 5 checkpoints

I am fairly frequently getting the following error:

[   ScriptRuntime] [14:37:23] [PlayerState]  Script exception: Null pointer access
[   ScriptRuntime] [14:37:23] [PlayerState]    PlayerState.op/:/AR_Data.as (line 502, column 4)
[   ScriptRuntime] [14:37:23] [PlayerState]      #0  void PlayerState::sTMData::Update(PlayerState::sTMData@ previous, const MLFeed::PlayerCpInfo_V3@ plf) (PlayerState.op/:/AR_Data.as line 502)
[   ScriptRuntime] [14:37:23] [PlayerState]      #1  void Update(float dt) (PlayerState.op/:/PlayerState.as line 56)

I've had it happen on some TotDs such as Diversion (7/22/2020), FS1 (7/29/2020), AnGeL lol#12 (7/28/2023), and others. It usually happens on load of the map. It's so random as to when it happens that I haven't been able to pinpoint what exactly causes it.

Steps to replicate game crash:

1. Play on a dedicated server.
2. Change the gamemode script to a different script than the current one. e.g. TrackMania/TimeAttack.Script.txt -> TrackMania/Rounds.Script.txt
3. When the next map loads with the different script, the game will crash.

When joining a server from the menus the state isn't updated to Driving until the player restarts their run

After crossing the finish line, the PlayerState should be on Finished, but still on Playing, and after the Finish sequence, it switches to Spectating as excepted

Game mode: Local play (not campaign)

After restating a map with Delete, when crossing a checkpoint, the event CheckpointChange is not triggered.

It sometimes trigger on some CPs but not all on the map

Edit the manialink to ensure it only collects relevant data to reduce performance impact in long races/many player situations.

I got a gamecrash on the first CP in the first knockout round in a custom COTD. Also a few months ago same issue on the official nadeo COTD.
Someone also mentioned that having skindownloads activated or having too many plugins might cause an issue.
