new TServerPlayer() and a few bugs

[DustyPorViva]

First off, it's case sensitive. This is a bad thing. Especially since the player tends to be offline, there is no way to get the proper case for their account.

Secondly, it seems it does not properly support variables:

temp.pl = new TServerPlayer("DustyPorViva");
Works.

temp.a = "DustyPorViva";
temp.pl = new TServerPlayer(temp.a);
Does not.

temp.a = "DustyPorViva";
temp.pl = new TServerPlayer((@temp.a));
Does work, however.

This is more than likely intended behaviour. If you pass it a plain variable, you are telling GScript that you want it to instantiate in temp.a, which is precisely the same way that you can instantiate GUI controls. Using (@ temp.a) is forcing a string to be returned.

The "new" operator is special because of compatibility reasons, eventually that can be dropped sometime though. Right now it's forcing the argument to be a string, if you write (myvar) then it's using it as "myvar" instead of retrieving the value of myvar.

What about the case sensitivity?
