How can I find weapon entities that are on the floor? For instance, I'm trying to find out if the client is close enough to a m4a1 (classname "weapon_m4a1", I think) to do something. Its not working and I don't know why. Maybe I have the wrong classname, what IS the right classname for a dropped m4a1 (or any other weapon) or an easier way to find a dropped weapon without find_ent_in_sphere().[/i]

Classname of any dropped weapon is "weaponbox" I believe. You just have to figure out what the model name is (I would look in the server's basedir in the models directory) then you cna use find_ent_by_class or some such and then figure out if they're close enough.

I think that's right.

Huh...Weapon box...I'll try it out then.

armoury_entity

It would have an index to indicate which weapon it is, but I am not exactly sure how to grab it in amx.. maybe an offset value, but I have never experimented with it... Also, here is the listing for it found in the Expert FGDs for making maps...

@PointClass iconsprite("sprites/CS/Armoury.spr") size(-16 -16 0, 16 16 16) = armoury_entity : "Items in the armoury" 
[
	item(choices)  : "Item" : 0 = 
	[
		0: "weapon_mp5"
		1: "weapon_tmp"
		2: "weapon_p90"
		3: "weapon_mac10"
		4: "weapon_ak47"
		5: "weapon_sg552"
		6: "weapon_m4a1"
		7: "weapon_aug"
		8: "weapon_scout"
		9: "weapon_g3sg1"
		10: "weapon_awp"
		11: "weapon_m3"
		12: "weapon_xm1014"
		13: "weapon_m249"
		14: "weapon_flashbang"
		15: "weapon_hegrenade"
		16: "item_kevlar"
		17: "item_assaultsuit"
		18: "weapon_smokegrenade"
	]
	count(integer) : "Count" : 1
]

I dont know, maybe that helps?

You could just catch it AFTER spawn, when they are weapon_*'s.

[Johnny got his gun]

You have to tell *dropped* weapons from weapons that are onground as they are compiled into the map.

Classname "weaponbox" is a dropped weapon.
Classname "armoury_entity" is an onground weapon.

You could loop through the weaponboxes but then you're not always sure which weapon entity it is tied to (I haven't found out a way). Instead you can loop through all weapon_m4a1 for instance, and check its EV_ENT_owner. If it's above get_maxplayers() it will be a weaponbox entity, and thus, a dropped weapon.

For onground, compiled weapons you could just loop through the armoury_entity:s and check their EV_SZ_model. There is no weapon entity ever tied to an armoury_entity.

To check if you are near the m4a1 then just compare the origin of the weaponbox.

Does the weaponbox have the same key values as armoury_entity?
And, when looking at an fgd file, how can I tell which are the values and which are the actual keys?

Like here

item(choices)  : "Item" : 0 =

item (not "Item") is the key? and (choices) (whichever weapon_*) is the key value? So If I were to create an entity with the classname "armoury_entity) and gave the key "item" the value "weapon_m4a1" then this would create that weapon on the floor or whatever origin I give it after DispatchSpawn() right?
