Ah, You caught me, good prank?

class Class
{
public:
    void Method()
    {
       // Avoid doing this if possible
    }
};

// Class.h
class Class
{
public:
   void Method();
}

// Class.cpp
void Class::Method()
{
   // Do prefer doing this in .cpp files - sometimes it may not be possible
}

class CBasePlayer; // this class is more fully declared elsewhere

Yeah, after a few days working with SDK, I'm starting to think that guys from Valve didn't know about any good coding practices or principles back in 1998.

but I also want to ask how to get CBasePlayer from CBaseEntity

if ( pEntity->IsPlayer() )
{
   CBasePlayer* player = static_cast<CBasePlayer*>( pEntity );
   ...
}

template<class T>
T* As()
{
    return static_cast<T*>( this );
}

template<class T>
T* TryAs()
{
    if ( Is<T>() )
    {
       return As<T>();
    }

   return nullptr;
}

template<class T>
bool Is()
{
    return dynamic_cast<T*>( this ) != nullptr;
}

if ( pEntity->Is<CBasePlayer>() )
{
   pEntity->As<CBasePlayer>()->DoPlayerSpecificStuff();
   // or
   CBasePlayer* player = pEntity->As<CBasePlayer>();
}

It is a hybrid server that runs both mods so both HL and CS clients can connect.

Personally, i strongly believe they are developing something
