This prompts a number depending on what weapon is being equipped (an individual ID number for each weapon type):

I’m wondering what kind of logic controls the number behind each weapon. So far I’ve figured out that at least it is not defined in the Entity Propertirs nor text file associated with the weapon entity, it is not based on weapon category and it seems not to be based on weapon name or file name. Is it hardcoded somewhere below the surface, do I not know where to look or is there an automatic logic that I just haven’t figured out?

Its a good question, it also changes for each user.
From my guess is that it just counts through all your weapon assets but that's just a guess, I never bothered to check once I knew it was too random I just use the names.

I thought player gun ID was the slow it is assigned to when you pick it up, or am i thinking of something else.

there is a g_WeaponSlotGot = {} which is probably the one you're thinking of

So it might change if I download new weapon assets? Good to know. So when expanding the weapon system, it's reliable to save new data under the weapon name like this:

Not under the gun ID like this:

yh much better to check the names - you can use g_PlayerGunName to return the string (as you noticed, it does give the folder) then combine that with
GetWeaponID ( GunNameString ) to find the ID if you need it for the other commands.
