you could probably get the weapon entity and save a value to like one of the pev_iuser# valuesnnsimilar to how dod_weaponjam saves whether a weapon is jammed even after a player drops it and another player picks it up

well i havent noticed any issues when using the iuser (or fuser etc...) parts of weapon entitiesnnni dont remember completely, but i think one of them is used for the players stamina for player entities, but im yet to see them used by anything for weapons

allright in your plugin you use some offsets to save/load your flags.rnrncan I give an new offset to an weapon-entity or have(must) I use an existing and have to look that it dont abuse other things?

every entity has a set amount of these..nnfor integers: (these im pretty sure dod may use ALL of them for player entities, dont remember exactly what is stored in each one tho... and as far as non-player entities go, im not sure but have not seen them used anywhere up to this point)npev_iuser1npev_iuser2 (for player entities this stores who is spectating them i believe)npev_iuser3npev_iuser4nnfor float values:npev_fuser1npev_fuser2npev_fuser3npev_fuser4nnnot sure what these are used for:npev_euser1npev_euser2npev_euser3npev_euser4nnbelieve these are for storing vector arrays or whatever (such as origin[3])npev_vuser1npev_vuser2npev_vuser3npev_vuser4nnnnow if you wanted to use the iuser entvar fields and make it so it doesnt conflict with dod_weaponjam, you could use iuser1 & iuser2 (because the weapon jam uses iuser3 and iuser4 on weapon entities)nni guess it depends how many you plan on using, and if youre not running dod_weaponjam you could still use iuser3 and 4nnnkind of hard to explain i guess, hope im not making it more confusing then it needs to be :)

like if you wanted to jam the weapon?nnhmm i would think setting doing set_pev(weaponent,pev_iuser4,1) would do itnnnnnot sure if thats what you meant
