thnx kwo...
I am using v16c now and all is fine. Don't know if I goobered up something installing the the latest betas into my all-in-one installation but the restrictions didnt do anything. It wasn't an issue of "how to do it" (1 = restrict selected weapon...got that part :wink

. I was using with the "all-in-one" pak.
I have now simplified to just amxmodx 1.76c, metmod 1.19p28, csdm 2.1 and PB v3 16c and all is hunky dory... my bots are even MEAN MEAN fighting machines!
