Callback(s) for player movement

I don't know if there's actually some huge issue with this that makes it impossible, but it would be pretty useful.

If there's already something like this, I have no idea how I missed it.

It'd have a boolean for if they're starting to move or stopping, and different functions/values for strafing, forward/backward, etc.

e.g.

--- Code: ---package annoyingAlarm
{
function Armor::onMoveForward(%this, %obj, %val)
{
parent::onMoveForward(%this, %obj, %val);
%obj.emote(AlarmProjectile);
}

function Armor::onMoveBackward(%this, %obj, %val)
{
parent::onMoveBackward(%this, %obj, %val);
%obj.emote(AlarmProjectile);
}

function Armor::onStrafe(%this, %obj, %dir, %val)
{
parent::onMoveBackward(%this, %obj, %dir, %val);
%obj.emote(AlarmProjectile);
}
};
--- End code ---

or alternatively

--- Code: ---package annoyingAlarm
{
function Armor::onMove(%this, %obj, %type, %val)
{
parent::onMove(%this, %obj, %type, %val);
%obj.emote(AlarmProjectile);
}
};
--- End code ---

Kalphiter:
Having a callback for when a player moves means it would have to be called 32 times per second. The engine calculates movement 32 times per second and sends out networked updates at the same rate.

Your alternative is not feasible, but callbacks for when the player starts L/R strafing or F/R moving make sense.

...speaking of trace spam, we need to be able to filter traces.

EDIT: with function counting and timing like those in OllyDbg:

What is this even
I see a ton of random letters

That is assembly.

"Profile" is the amount of times the section of code was called.

Imagine being able to have a function counter that could catch how long it takes for a function to run and how often it's called.

Callbacks that often are unacceptable and will lag the server the more they're used.
