So I recently tried to port a map of mine from CS 1.6 to Global Offensive, and I've found out the Source SDK stuff is a mess. The current problem I'm facing is that math_counter apparently does not save its state between rounds, which means you can't do stuff like doors that only open every 3rd round any more (which was a part of said map).

I tried setting up an env_global to do this, but first off there was no env_global in the csgo.fgd (even though the base class for it exists in base.fgd) so I had to copy it from the HL2 fgd file, and now I found out that while it has a Counter property, it isn't actually functional. The wiki page says "There is an aliasing problem for this keyvalue. To make it work, simply change its name in the source code DEFINE_OUTPUT declaration."

Is there actually a way to access the source code to change an entity's hard-coded keyvalues?
Or if not, is there maybe a way to work around this to make a counter of any sort that would keep its state between rounds (is it possible for example to implement your own code into a cs go map)?

EDIT: added atn for superjer just cause I can.

Superjer in some of his maps claims he uses doors to do that stuff, like they have some extremely complex interaction where people are tp'd through them and trigger multiplied

You can use doors in CS 1.6 to trigger events when a new round starts because doors always close at the start of a round (or something to that effect). Doors are what you use to trigger the round counter.

In Source SDK you have logic_auto for that - an entity specifically designed to trigger stuff at the beginning of a round.

At this stage, it might be worth messaging the developers directly, or perhaps posting on the Global Offensive subreddit?
