correct me if I'm wrong, but in other programing languages (1|2|3) does not mean "set bit 1, 2 and 3" but "set the bits that are used to represent the numbers 1, 2 and 3". And that means:
1= 001
2= 010
3= 011
and going with this logic (1|2|3) = 011 and (1|2) = 011, so (1|2|3) == (1|2) equals true.
If you want to set bit number X (starting at 0) then you have to left-shift the first bit by X:
(1<<0) = 001 //equals 1
(1<<1) = 010 //equals 2
(1<<2) = 100 //equals 4, not 3
Please correct me if this is any different in sourcemod.
