[CS:S/CS:GO?] sm_<something> [Updating sm_weapons Kiske Give Weapons]

Hello. This is my first time with Pawn and I don't know any code language be gentle.

The request:
Looking for feedback on the code and changes so far. I don't know if my starting point was a good one. The code I have right now is "working" for CS:S for the features I have implemented. Limited to testing with me and the bots. Okay, I'll be straight with ya I didnt test nades and I'm sure that there is something funky with those all being in the same slot and my current slot entity present check code not differentiating between nade type. I hope I will be able to still fill in the missing data (-1s) in my entities table for CS:GO and have this plugin work for both...bit iffy on continuing CS:GO support as I'm not setup to test GO.

Why ask now when its not complete?

Adding all the features I want will require quite a bit of rewrite from this stage. I want to make sure I'm not already working with big mistakes I've made. I will likely be peeling some of the tasks out to functions and learning how to send and return parameters

Why at all, there are plugins that sorta do this already?

I could not find a give weapon plugin to my liking for CS:S. I might have missed one that does what I want but I could not find one. I looked at CS:GO plugins then and found something close. Kiske's plugin almost worked out of the box for CS:S just missing some CS:S weapon names.

Here is the plan from the Github page:

more credits thanks for the headstart

# CS:S / CSGO? Give Weapons & Items
- Give a weapon or item to a player from a command.
- After reviewing a lot of code I think pRED* version in SM Super Commands may have been the first https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?p=498802
- This plugin is edited originally from [Kiske's give weapon](https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=195476).
- Forked updated by Kento https://github.com/rogeraabbccdd/CSGO-GiveWeapons
- Then I got my noob never learned to code hands on it...

# This fork adds
- all the CS:S weapons that were missing to make CS:S compatible
- entity checking if player has a weapon/item in the slot the plugin is trying to give to.
- Drops and removes that weapon/item before giving new
- Code comments for days otherwise i have no clue whats going on
- Option to drop but not remove item from game
- Plugin engine checking
- Separate weapon/item lists per game would help on partial substr input for a few entities

commands plans

## Console Commands for admins
command names not final bc I'm sure the name sm_give is used up...
- `sm_give` Gives the usage and options in console.
- `sm_give <target> <entityname>` Give weapon or item to user.
- `sm_give list` Display in console a table of all the weapon names,weapon slot,ammo offset, ammo reserve
- `sm_give about` Display the myinfo section of the code
- `sm_give_version` for showing the version specifically
## Chat commands for admin
- `!give <target> <entityname>`

I have this working pretty well in CS:S. With the features I added I think I may remove CS:GO support all together. I am not setup to test CS:GO and I do not have the slotID for all GO items.

It bugs me that I can not find a way in to get the weapon names and slotID from the game. I have hard coded the slot to the weapon name. I would prefer if on plugin start the data was collected from the game and stored in an array. The data is in the weapon_*.ctx files that the game reads in as the WeaponData. I have not found how to read weaon names and the slotID from files which is the parameter labelled "bucket". I have started looking at weapon attribute mods to see how they are modifying other data that originally from these weapon_*ctx files.

I also found this which has data I want. How was this info read/dumped?
https://wiki.alliedmods.net/CS_WeaponList_Message_Dump
Right know hardcoding is what I am doing.

The game is loading a weaponlist and weapondata. Would like to grab that data when the plugin loads once.

Worse but okay would be to get data after a map load once. maybe using CreateEntityByName Function... if you could only get weapon list then extract the data from each weapon entity and remove entity after.

Side note I just smiled and laughed when I found the weapondata name for slot was bucket. Seems like one of this early decisions that just stuck.

I hope I am just wrong and there is a way to get all the weaponlist names and weapondata with some SM functions.
