Summary0003313: ACS Function to switch Game mode.
DescriptionI hear ConsoleCommand might get removed sometime in future versions, so an alternative to force server &/or game to switch to desired game mode would be helpful, this is especially useful when you want to force change game mode for some of the maps and revert back to the default server game mode.

It was decided that this seems fine because it's already possible with ConsoleCommand. The gamemode should be provided by a string for forwards compatibility.

3.1 adds the ACS function: "SetCurrentGamemode", which accepts the new game mode as a string. Note that this function will fail if the current level cannot support the new game mode (e.g. no proper player starts available for the game mode), and successfully changing a game mode automatically starts a new game.

Additionally, modders can get the current game mode as a string using the ACS function "GetCurrentGamemode".

From the looks of it, people are pretty happy with "SetCurrentGamemode" and "GetCurrentGamemode", and the functions work as intended. I'll mark this as resolved now.
