No, it won't. I can try to answer your questions though, in the ways you probably won't like :p 1) You can try to do this in a "hacky" way that relies on the base SDK. For example, CBaseCombatCharacter defines m_hMyWeapons in its data table, so you can probably extract it by enumerating the datamap or sendtables. 2,3) Again, velocity is defined in the datamap of CBaseEntity. 4) Valve won't do this, I guarantee it. 6) Not needed, CGameTrace/trace_t has m_pEnt which you can convert to an edict_t. It's defined in the Engine like that for niceness -- the Engine can't see CBaseEntities like the gamedll. 7) The reason: Valve doesn't want you changing them. That would be hacking, cheating, heresy, and terrorism. <-- add something else in for extra credit 8) Possibly same rule for #1-3, but in the way I've done it in my plugins, I used much hackier ways that aren't mod independent at all. 9) SetModel() is a virtual function in CBaseEntity. If you're pretty sure the mod doesn't change the virtual order of CBaseEntity, you can just try calling it. Otherwise, you must get creative. If you're doing this for HL2DM, you have the source code, so you can do just about anything you want. For other mods, you must be prepared to write very ugly things.
