Only been working on Source for awhile in my limited spare time but I see that the server ceases to send the clients information on dormant entities for obvious reasons. I'm playing with CSS and am trying to get accurate information on each player in the server from a single client. Besides increasing the range and scope of the culling and dormant stuff is there any other way? I have found the information on each player's health, name, team etc is stored for the overview (even some previous location for those annoying little lines) and I can access that but I am trying to identify what weapon each and every player is holding at a particular moment.

I know you can track all the player damage and health using an events based system though it doesn't help with weapons. Not after any code just a nudge in the right direction would be helpful. Cheers.

Dormant means the server is not telling you where it is, as it's out of view of the client.
