I believe all that engine function does is scan a infobuffer string like this... /player/bob/topcolor/240/bottomcolor/45/model/scout/minplayers/5/maxplayers/10 ...and looks for the match for the second argument. Then it sucks out the next field (between the '/'s) and returns that value. It's basically a util type function that parses a '/' separated string and returns the value for a key.
