I would like to track melee weapon entities (taken by players and left on ground) between map changes. I need to store "m_flModelScale" at the end of a map and restore them when the next map starts. Changing m_flModelScale to a value greater than 1 gives you an giant version of the melee weapon. I use "HookUserMessage(GetUserMessageId("ShowStats" ), UM_ShowStats, false)" to track store these value.

My questions are:
1. Is there any method to uniquely identify entities when the map changes
2. Which event should I listen to? (So that I can know when these entities are created)

Thanks in advance!

The game just stores the angles and origin iirc for melee weapons and model ect.
My guess is just check angles and origin for a match, anyweapons saved in midair will fall you may wanna do it very early in a "SDKHooks_Spawn" hook or something.


EDIT:
I forgot to mention the origin in transition can change but is always in the same spot in safearea box, don't remember how to get that volume i think it's "info_landmark" stored in that entity.

maybe help you

Is there any way to determine who is carrying the weapon_melee entity?

For example, I have the "int entityID" but I want to find out who (int clientID) is carrying it.

Thanks!

You can get the owner

PHP Code:

int iClient = GetEntPropEnt(entity, Prop_Send, "m_hOwnerEntity");
if(iClient < 1)//if weapon has no owner return
    return;

Hi all,

I wrote a plugin to track the model size of melee weapons (carried by players).
