It depends on which buttons, you already got alternatives in the posts above. For some things, you need to check continuously and it's perfectly fine, for others you have a better way - for example PrimaryAttack for IN_ATTACK. But you have to realize that PrimaryAttack still relies internally on frame forwards, it is called from ItemPostFrame which is in turn called from PostThink.

It seems you have a lot of scripting questions so you should post your questions in scripting help instead. Also search, you can find answers for your last question.

I think I am the only person on this forum who does the most searches before posting something. I did not find anything, all I found was around 5 websites where all of them are using prethink for the same thing I wish to achieve, but Im p sure there is an alternative for it.

First of all, are you experiencing performance issues? I don't see the point on this. I'm actually editing a completely modded CS 1.6 server using bunch of callbacks and hooks since 9 years ago, haven't noticed anything strange in terms of performance while I keep adding and adding things. It's up to you, we're in 2019, AMXX 1.9 is faster and enough to run in modern machines.

To be honest I am, people complaining about lags while myself have none. I used to use 182 but moved to 1.9 few months ago but that had 0 impact, no changes or whatsoever. I have seen servers using the plugins from internet, they basically take some hardcoded crap plugins, adding to the server and still have no issues with lags/performance while I make them on my own or use private coded ones which I can bet my head are optimised to their limits. I have no other choice other than check every plugin one by one and remove/change the unnecessary stuff.

Wait for someone who can help you to check file by file, or pay someone to make a research on your server plugins. (I often do paid works related to optimization, if you're interested)

Already waited quite a few years and nothing has changed since then. Paying isnt an option, I always add new stuff to the servers which means I have to pay every time I comeup with something new.

I'm not sure if the AMXX Profiler works on 1.9.0, but if it does, try profiling all plugins and see if any function takes significant time.
IIRC there was a post that updated the profiler to at least 1.8.3, it may work, search the thread.
