Indentifing an entity (using find_ent)
 
Okay im working on a plugin ~ when certain criteas are met the plugin forces the player to drop his weapons( actually a specific weapon).. Now heres my questions

1) whats the best way to idenify the weapon on the groudn... mayebe somethign like find_ent_by_owner tho who would the owner be world?
or maybe find_ent_by_model.. i don't know someone help :)

2) what would be the best way to remove the gun ~ i recall johnny sayin performing call_think would remove it but not sure...

Help would be much appreciated :)

Iv never searched for Ent by owner, it might be faster ( As i assume it only is a Int vaule). But i normaly search by Classname and then model if needed.

Check my TS weapon restriction plugin it does this exact thing.

At least to Identify what the entity is at first. Then you can do some backwards testing. I think it should be easy....as well think about what the user is looking at. I thought I saw a plugin that would move entities by what the person is looking at:

That may help.

Cheers!

actually u can't move guns by looking at them with that plugin, u'd have to use the classname

Da Bishop 10-11-2004 15:04

i might have to to do it the long way... but search by owner owuld be faster faster - the index of the weapon drop is gonna be higher then the number of maxplayers (i think since a weapon that is drop becomes a weaponbox which has its own index - since players are [up to 32] index i presume that the model will be higher then maxplayers - if i could incorperate taht and and the owner (which would be world... can u say world is owner?)

sigh, or search by classname and then model....

back to other question, anyone know whether call_think of on a the ent of weapon remove it?

Da Bishop 10-11-2004 15:40

using EKS dumpentinfo i have verified what i thought.. a dropped weapon becomes a weaponbox -- so this means i can do find_ent_by_model(startindex,weaponbox,weapon )

Now all i need to do is test call_think(index) -- which i think will remove it

Good!...That helps!!

Da Bishop 10-11-2004 16:13

well im still having troubles, one thing is i can't get the weapon removed - i think i did this wrong

ent = find_ent_by_model(32,"weaponbox","models/w_awp.mdl")

i don't know... help appreciated
