I mean only on starting up the map, i think its nonsense to give a random value for each player/weapon, then a player has never a real chance to win.

I can see there a limit of 10 random weapon orders, in my example the trick is to create an endless string where the weapon order wrapper is "[ ]"and the delimiter is ",".

Another example:

gg_weapon_order "[weapon_order1],[weapon_order2],[weapon_order3],[...],[weapon_order33],[weapon_order34],[weapon_order35]"

Another cool idea are this cvars:

gg_random_weapon_order_status 1 gg_random_weapon_order_level 20

That means, that gungame is creating an own random weapon order with 20 levels.

I have a lot ideas, hope u have time enough *smile* I have not enough knowledge in C to realise that.

Allways caching isnt good, the best way is to use a cvar for that and creating a sourcehandler, so it can made possible to get the cvars from random sources like a database, a JSON string (very usefull to get random values an other funny things , here is caching not so good) and/or config files.

You can contact me if you want. Private message me for ICQ or other im-tools.
