Player spawn points are inaccessible (Or nil) through Lua w/o iterator

[Flame]

I'm attempting to access a Player Spawn point using either the "PlayerSpawn" and "MapThingSpawn" hooks, using this and this as a reference.

My code below. It's simple, but the Player Mo's spawnpoint appears to be nil when attempting to access it. It should be returning a userdata value of some kind.

addHook("PlayerSpawn", function(p)
	if p and p.valid and not p.spectator
	and p.mo and p.mo.valid
		print("Player "+#p+" spawnpoint is "+p.mo.spawnpoint)
	end
end)

The "MapThingSpawn" hook also refuses to print information for the player mobj or the corresponding player spawn point.

This is sadly intentional due to how the player spawning code works.

MapThingSpawn hook stuff does not trigger for player starts, because players are spawned in a different way to other objects/map things, after everything else in the level has been loaded.
