Currently I'm trying to block dropping of weapons except in the case that a player uses the "Use key" to acquire a weapon.

I was just struggling to find a way to check for this. Currently I use the CS_OnCSWeaponDrop forward and return Plugin_Stop however I'm not sure if there exists a forward to check what weapon will be picked up upon switch. If anyone had a suggestion or a better way to handle this I'd be very grateful.

Check if the client is using the USE key when they pick up a weapon?

EDIT: and looking at the weapon

Mm, I had considered that as an option. It's a bit too clunky for what I'm trying to do, I think. Appreciate the suggestion all the same though, thank you. Ideally, if there isn't a forward for it currently we'd probably be well served by one. I think TF2 has a weapon switch feature as well now.

SDKHooks OnWeaponCanUse or something another. Also there is a server convar to prevent dropping weapons. It's mainly used in gg and dm, however I use it in a few of my custom gamemodes. (it also prevents weapon dropping when the player dies.)

That does allow me to block certain weapons from being picked up however I'm looking to block dropping weapons all-together unless they're switching it for another weapon and I don't seem to be able to find a hook that returns both weapons in the exchange. There's quite likely not a clean way of doing this, it seems.

this "SDKHook_WeaponDrop" block only drop not pickup by "E" if can help .

The downside to that would be they'd be able drop a weapon without switching - as long as they're holding Use (if I'm reading it right). Thanks, though. It's one way to do a sort of check.
