Deus Ex Alpha

It's in the testing period now cause it keeps making my DX GPF

function ModifyPlayer(Pawn Other)

Fair cop on the "type this command" statement, if there was some way to bypass the issue that not every person in the server, if any, are admins. And I think "set" probably uses a foreach-style iterator. Which brings me onto my next point...
The comment on the iterator is just plain wrong. foreach is sloppy for inventory or augs because it has such a slow hit rate and takes up valuable cycles on the host machine. It cycles through every single actor in the map, does a ClassIsChildOf check, and processes each one in turn. The "aug" linked list goes through about a dozen. Woosh.

In conclusion, fair points but I stand by my code. Well, most of it
