miniGameCanDamage not being invoked + other stuff

Port:
I have noticed something rather odd while trying to modify the mini-game system.

miniGameCanDamage( obj, col ) is not invoked (called, executed, whatever) when damage should be applied unless a mini-game is currently active or has ever been active. Is there anything I can do to make this function run at any time?

Another question: What is the best way to determine the client of an object of pretty much any type, including but not limited to players, bots, projectiles, explosions, bricks, items and vehicles?

Port:
I have tried this method for fixing miniGameCanDamage:

--- Code: ---function fixMiniGameCanDamage()
{
%owner = new AIConnection()
{
name = "";
bl_id = -1;
};

%miniGame = createMiniGameSO( %owner, "Temporary Mini-Game", false, true );
%miniGame.endGame();

if ( isObject( %miniGame ) )
{
%miniGame.delete();
}

%owner.delete();
}

--- End code ---

From this, I got an error somewhat like the following, and miniGameCanDamage also wasn't fixed:
ERROR: miniGameSO::addMember - object "something" is not a client. This method is for adding clients to the minigame only.

I have also tried with a gameConnection, which you indeed can manually create server-sided. This works fine, except the server crashes when it attempts to create a mini-game with the virtual client. I'm now going to try this method again, except this time I'll prevent network-related actions on this virtual client.

I'm not too sure about the first error, but finding the client of any object would look something like this:

--- Code: ---%client = isObject(%obj.client) ? %obj.client : (isObject(%obj.sourceClient) ? %obj.sourceClient : getBrickGroupFromObject(%obj).client);

--- End code ---
