Let's say I have plugin A which gives a weapon to a player. In plugin B I want to block plugin A from giving a weapon to a player in the first round. I wonder if there is some unused value in a player entity to store set of bits in? Perhaps something that is HL specific? The idea is to make set of plugins that works out of the box and the one that manages flags to enable/disable some features. I really do not want to use callfunc_* family functions or write plugin as a module. All I need is an unused integer or string value.

pev_*user* fields

In my Realistic Bullet Physics there are a lot of examples and a LOT informations using what Jimaway said. Not only pev_iuser*, but pev_euser*, and also pev_fuser* (for floats). They are so helpful, definitely will help you.

Perfect. That is definitely what I need. Thank you, guys.

better use engine than fakemeta

PHP Code:

entity_set_int( Client, EV_INT_
                                 EV_INT_iuser1,
                            EV_INT_iuser2,
                            EV_INT_iuser3,
                            EV_INT_iuser4,
entity_set_float( Client, EV_FL_
                                   EV_FL_fuser1,
                            EV_FL_fuser2,
                            EV_FL_fuser3,
                            EV_FL_fuser4,
entity_set_vector( Client, EV_FL_
                                     EV_VEC_vuser1,
                                     EV_VEC_vuser2,
                                 EV_VEC_vuser3,
                                 EV_VEC_vuser4,

It is good to explain why you think so.

pev() is not better or worse than entity_get_int().

If my plugin primarily uses engine natives then I'll use the engine variant, similar logic if my plugin is heavy on fakemeta natives.
