why do you use player = source

[relief]

was messing with gamemodes today and saw this in ctf:

local player = source --It's important. Trust me. 

this line is in a event handler function

why is it important

[bandi94]

Well it has no + or - using it that way.

Maybe in the function was used "player" then the EventHandler was changed then to don't change every "player" to "source" it was a quick mode to do that.

It's a problem of arguments. Every function needs some arguments or maybe not.

As Bandi said it was a quick mode to do it.
