cPluginManager:GetLuaPlugin() and lua_State

[FakeTruth]

Yeah, sending messages is totally possible, because you can queue them and handle them in the tick function or something. But that means you cannot immediately get a value back

I think a message system is completely useless.

What if, for example, you have a separate permissions plugin next to MCServer's built in permissions, and your plugin needs to query the permissions plugin to see if the player can do a certain action. The hook requires you to return with a decision immediately, but with a message system you cannot query the permissions plugin and return a definitive decision in the same hook call...


A solution might be to use a single CriticalSection for all plugins, that way there wouldn't be any locking between plugins. But this can also create a deadlock in certain cases I think...
