Allow plugins to send game state changes

Api Suggestion

Suggestion

Plugins should be able to send a packet changing all of the clients game states.

Use case

Having a custom victory / loss scenario. I currently achieve this but setting all clients to Impostor to end the round.

Expected result

Plugins able to set the game state and the clients act accordingly.

This is kind of a global request. There are a lot of packets that modify game state.

I meant more like having a Game.SetGamrState(GameStates.Fimished) function.

"Finished" being when the victory screen comes up. I'm probably not using the correct terminology.

But how do you propose the finished screen to show? There's not really a packet for it so we need to use hacky methods.

Does MessageFlags.EndGame not put all the clients into an end of game state?

Does MessageFlags.EndGame not put all the clients into an end of game state?

Nope, as I described in my comment on #108:

This causes everyone but the host to stop receiving packets, and does not end the game as intended.

I do not think there is a way to achieve this without client-side mods, unless what you said actually works:

I currently achieve this by setting all clients to Impostor to end the round.

Update: Sending an EndGame message could potentially work.
