H&K, do you do something to actively prevent it?

I tend to do the following


type blah

global _indirectconstruct:int

method new()
{
  assert( _indirectconstruct, "Use blah.Constructor() to create an object of type blah")
}

function Constructor:blah( params )
{ 
  _indirectconstruct = true

  'do rest of construction here

 _indirectconstruct = false

 'then return object
  return newblah
}

endtype
