PlayerOwner vs. Owner

[Barbie]

I was visiting the HUD code and stumbled about the usage of PlayerOwner and Owner. They are defined as

Code: Select all

HUD.uc, line 19:			var PlayerPawn PlayerOwner;		// always the actual owner
Actor.uc, line 79:			var const Actor Owner;			// Owner actor.

Shouldn't they always reference the same?

[Buggie]

I want help you:
Exists also PawnOwner
https://github.com/Slipyx/UT99/blob/f2e ... HUD.uc#L49

Code: Select all

var Pawn PawnOwner;	// pawn currently managing this HUD (may be the viewtarget of the owner rather than the owner)

--- EDIT ---
https://github.com/Slipyx/UT99/blob/f2e ... UD.uc#L294

Code: Select all

PlayerOwner = PlayerPawn(Owner);

I think it link to same actor but for avoid many-many-many casts everywhere - it cast only once and saved to field.
