...and as botman says, this is a very unreliable method. More advanced MODs may very well decide to change the way the door code works in HL. Then you will read an incorrect variable. Or they simply relocated this variable elsewhere.

I'd not advise anybody to do anything with pvPrivateData if you want robust code. You will figure out the offset and it will work, but it will be guaranteed to work ONLY for your version of the engine and your version of the MOD.

The only thing that'll work for sure no matter which MOD you play is v.nextthink.
