How do I assign property values from inside a method maps constructor?

I want something that results in something like this (non functioning code):

methodmap Player {
	public Player() {
		this.Level = 0;
	}

	property int Level {
		public native get();
		public native set(int level);
	}
}

public OnPluginStart()
{
	Player myPlayer = Player();
	int level = myPlayer.Level;
}

It won't work for two reasons, I can't use this from inside the constructor, and the Level symbol is unassigned? I'm still new to this whole methodmap/quasi class object system, any tips?

Shouldn't you have an AskPluginLoad2 somewhere that declares the natives that actually back the Level property?

Sure, but that's not really relevant to the question is it?

Well, I think you can't store values in methodmap, only methods working with the variable itself (like get player healt, kick player, get player team etc).

Exactly. I was under this same misapprehension and was corrected about it. You MUST have a backing plugin/extension for a methodmap.

In fact, I'm not even sure that would work for Plugins as you almost have to extend a methodmap from Handle (or something that inherits from Handle somewhere up the chain)... and the first argument for functions in MethodMaps has to be the type it ultimately inherits from (read: Handle).

Ah alright, thanks for clearing that up for me. It was a bit confusing when the lines between being an OOP class are pretty blurred with this new transitional syntax (I can't wait for the day of OOP driven SourceMod).

Thanks again.

For now it's best to think of methodmaps as a wrapper around functions that take a Handle.
