One Plot Pole Per Person

[OSUapoc]

So I'm trying to figure a way to implement a method to limit the number of plot poles that a player has deployed. The only way that I can figure to do it is when a player goes to place a plot pole, the script checks every item, filtering for plot pole, and looks at the owneruid to determine if the current player already has X number in existence.

Anyone have any better, more subtle, ways of accomplishing this? I figure searching through every object will cause some serious heartburn for client performance when they try placing a plot pole, thus the reason I'm looking for suggestions.

Thanks!

To find all plot poles easily just use this

_allplotpoles = allMissionObjects "whatever_the_plotpole_class_name_is";

Wouldn't worry too much about performance. It's a script that runs clientside and only runs when the player executes it, probably won't even notice a possible slight dip in performance.
