1. Is there any way to use an external buffer between plugins ? Something bigger, like array[512], or something[32][512]. I want to access these multi-dimensional arrays from any plugin.

2. How can I get user team from engine (cstrike) ? I'm not talking about cs_get_user_team or get_user_team; I want to get the team that the engine is based on when it decides the nickname color in chat.
This plugin (https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?p=423848) is faking the game to believe that the admin with flag "d" is spectator, so he can watch all players Therefore, I want to get the authentic team name (shown in scoreboard). cs_get_user_team is always returning "spectator" (even if the player is shown to be CT in scoreboard) and get_user_team is returning a wrong team too in some situations.

I must get the team from chat color or scoreboard... I hope you understand what I mean.

Thank you!

1. I think it's not possible. You can do this using files or mysql (which is faster).

Also, you can make a plugin API. If you were using single cells, XVars would be best..

Your second problem.. well, the plugin stores the player's team in a variable and restores it at new round

You could hook the TeamInfo event and make a variable that stores a team, then set the team every time TeamInfo is sent. That would be what is displayed in the scoreboard.

Plugin API is the best method for this situation. XVars do not work for arrays.

In other words, Arrays are not single cells Sorry if I caused any confusion.

You may have in mind that real teams are those you get using cs_get_user_team, and that TeamInfo is only used for visual purpose.

But isn't TeamInfo used to update the team on the scoreboard? Or was that ScoreInfo? Either way, that's probably the best way to get the team that is displayed on the scoreboard.

TeamInfo is used for the chat colors.
ScoreInfo is used for the scoreboard info (kills, deaths, team).

TeamInfo affects ScoreBoard color, i'm not sure ScoreInfo has any effect on color.
