You should also note that if you do not use the interfaces we provide (i.e go around them, say by using CBaseEntity directly in a server plugin) then your program and code will be fragile and will break when we update. If you ever think you are doing something dangerous please email us and ask :) We will be adding some more interfaces to CBasePlayer to give server plugins a richer interface to the player class.
