Is it possible to add my own variables, like a double, an int, and a bool, to the edict_t or IPlayerInfo objects? Or would I have to make my own structure to track my extra variables and tie it to the in-game userId somehow?

Use CUtlVector or CUtlMap (if that exists I don't know). Access items via userids or client indexes or edict_t* or CBE*, your choice. Then use structs, right.

Doesn’t the userid change sometimes for example during a map change? What is CUtlVector? Say I want to attach a double variable to a user, how would I go about doing that?

If you want data to store consistent, use steamids. Userid, Index and (caused by that) CBE* and edict_t* changes on every mapchange because every client will be fully disconnected and reconnected.

I would create a struct with the following pointers/vars:

struct Player_s
{
    CBaseEntity *m_pEntity;
    edict_t *m_pEdict;
    IPlayerInfo *m_pInfo;
    int m_iIndex; // if needed
    int m_iUserID; // if needed
    char *m_pszSteamID; // if I remember, there was a class called CSteamID, may you can use that instead
}

CUtlVector<Player_s*> vecPlayers;

Player_s *getPlayerInfo(char *pszSteamID)
{
    for (int i = 0; i < vecPlayers.Count(); i++) // or Size(), one of them is deprecated
    {
        Player_s *pPlayer = vecPlayers[i];
        
        if (!strcmp(pPlayer->m_pszSteamID, pszSteamID))
        {
            return pPlayer;
        }
    }
    
    return (Player_s*)NULL;
}

The advantage of this method is, that you can search for everything you want, you've only to create a search function for example CBE or Index.
