CityRPG:
My guess is you're trying to make some sort of gamemode that runs without a minigame.

This isn't a good idea. Blockland is designed to be a brick building game. All combat related stuff is handled by Minigames. Trying to break this system because you don't think your gamemode is "mini" anymore is ill-advised.

You can do a bunch of hacks, like returning a minigame object always in the function getMiniGameFromObject, but the end result is going to be exactly the same -- minus the leave/join messages. If that's your only grievance, your trickery might be better placed trying to hack out the messages.

Actually, I found some solution:

--- Code: ---new fxDTSBrick() { position = "0 0 0"; datablock = brick1x1Data; }.delete();
--- End code ---

This seems to fix it, oddly enough.

CityRPG:
In no way shape or form does your "fix" make any sense. I strongly advise revisiting the problem.

To answer your second question, there is a function like getGroupFromObject(%obj).client
Fetch brick group, find client.

Destiny already posted a method that works for projectiles, vehicles, etc as well.

I am making a system that allows for maps with a built-in brick save file that will be loaded and interactive map logic by performing specific actions when a map is loaded and other support systems for this.

Mini-games would be impractical in this situation due to their long list of drawbacks and how this is going to work. I do not feel that it is required for me to elaborate further on this subject.

It's far easier to hack up minigames so that they work differently than to completely bypass them. What exactly are you trying to do?
