-- The next part, initializing clientside part for players, is where I'm hitting the wall

self.MapInstance:AddPlayer(Urikplayer)  -- So it works when I reload it while being on the server (because my id is always 0 when I'm alone)

function Worldinit:OnPlayerJoin(args)   -- I've also tried "args, player" and "player" here
    self.player = player

    -- the MapInstamce:Addplayer is supposed to be called for a player who joined the server. It initializes the object streaming for their client side
    -- it looks like this:
    -- function MapEditor.MapInstance:AddPlayer(player)
    -- table.insert(self.players , player)
    -- Network:Send(player , "InitializeMapInstance" , self.clientObjects)
    -- end

    -- so I need to provide it with player, which I am trying to do
    -- as you see below I've tried different ways to get players, or player ids, to no avail
    -- I've referred to other scripts, they just use OnPlayerJoin(args) and then use (args.player) but it doesn't work here

    -- in console, either nothing happens, or "Player" being a nil value, or it gives "void NetworkManager:Send (...."
    -- so I realize that function doesn't get what I'm supposed to provide it with
    -- I don't get what MapInstance:AddPlayer wants from me in the brackets, and what I get with args.player
    -- my success with Player.GetById only lead me to assumption it wants an Id, but extracting Id of newlyjoined player and feeding that to the function via local variable did nothing
    -- if I'm just using args.player, I'm not even sure what kind of data it is providing to the function. I thought Id must be there too.

    --local newblokeID = tostring ( args.player:GetId() )
    local newplayer = args.player
    --local newplayerid = newplayer:GetId()
--for players in Server:GetPlayers() do
    self.MapInstance:AddPlayer(newplayer)
end

-- pretty much the same will have to be done for onplayerleave later on.
