If it's not too much trouble, I'd let to put in a request that enables me to set the alpha on all of my active weapons. I would very much appreciate it.

Not sure if it's what you search but Friendly Plugin can fade weapons, not sure if it's with alpha or not.

Here is a link to Friendly plugin : http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=213205

Hope it's help...

EDIT :

Found this :

PHP Code:

stock SetWeaponInvis(client, bool:set = true) {
    new alpha = cvar_alpha_wep;
    for (new i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
        new entity = GetPlayerWeaponSlot(client, i);
        if (entity != -1) {
            SetEntityRenderMode(entity, RENDER_TRANSCOLOR);
            SetEntityRenderColor(entity, _, _, _, set ? alpha : 255); // This should do what you want ;) !
        }
    }
} 


This code was stealed (:O) from friendly plugin.

I tried to make it as a compilable plugin but I keep getting error 100 and tag mismatches on this

PHP Code:

#include <sourcemod>
#include <tf2_stocks> 
 
new Handle:cvar_alpha_wep = INVALID_HANDLE; 
 
public Plugin:myinfo =
{
    name = "WepAlphanator",
    author = "Assyrian/Nergal",
    description = "makes weapons transparent",
    version = "1.0.0.0",
    url = "http://www.sourcemod.net/"
} 
 
public OnPluginStart()   
{
    RegAdminCmd("sm_pro", Command_SetWepAlpha, ADMFLAG_GENERIC);
    cvar_alpha_wep = CreateConVar("sm_alpha_wep", "128", "Default alpha");
    AutoExecConfig(true, "plugin_alphaweapon"); 
}

public Action:Command_SetWepAlpha(client)
{
    if ((cvar_alpha_wep >= 0) && (cvar_alpha_wep <= 255))
    { 
        SetWeaponInvis(client); 
    }
}

stock SetWeaponInvis(client, bool:set = true)
{ 
    new alpha = cvar_alpha_wep; 
    for (new i = 0; i < 5; i++)
    { 
        new entity = GetPlayerWeaponSlot(client, i); 
        if (entity != -1)
        { 
            SetEntityRenderMode(entity, RENDER_TRANSCOLOR); 
            SetEntityRenderColor(entity, _, _, _, set ? alpha : 255); 
        } 
    }
    return Plugin_Continue; 
}

Fixed, should work now. Not tested :

PHP Code:

#include <sourcemod>
#include <tf2_stocks> 

new Handle:cvar_alpha_wep = INVALID_HANDLE; 

public Plugin:myinfo =
{
    name = "WepAlphanator",
    author = "Assyrian/Nergal",
    description = "makes weapons transparent",
    version = "1.0.0.0",
    url = "http://www.sourcemod.net/"
} 

public OnPluginStart()   
{
    RegAdminCmd("sm_pro", Command_SetWepAlpha, ADMFLAG_GENERIC);
    cvar_alpha_wep = CreateConVar("sm_alpha_wep", "128", "Default alpha");
    AutoExecConfig(true, "plugin_alphaweapon"); 
}

public Action:Command_SetWepAlpha(client, args)
{
    new maxalpha = GetConVarInt(cvar_alpha_wep);
    
    if ((maxalpha >= 0) && (maxalpha <= 255))
    { 
        SetWeaponInvis(client); 
    }
}

stock SetWeaponInvis(client, bool:set = true)
{ 
    new alpha = GetConVarInt(cvar_alpha_wep); 
    for (new i = 0; i < 5; i++)
    { 
        new entity = GetPlayerWeaponSlot(client, i); 
        if (entity != -1)
        { 
            SetEntityRenderMode(entity, RENDER_TRANSCOLOR); 
            SetEntityRenderColor(entity, _, _, _, set ? alpha : 255); 
        } 
    }
}

Seeing as how the code was borrowed from my Friendly Mode plugin...

cvar_alpha_wep is not a handle in the original code. In my original code, all cvars are cached and have their values verified before the rest of the plugin uses them. This prevents particularly moronic server ops from fucking up how the plugin operates by using cvar values that make no fucking sense (such as using a string in a cvar that only uses ints, or using values higher than 255 when setting alpha value, using negative values when only positives work, etc) and then complaing to my tired ears when my plugin "doesn't work" on their server.

At the beginning of your code, you are declaring cvar_alpha_wep as a handle, but you are using it as a standard integer variable later on. Either replace "cvar_alpha_wep >= 0" and such with more correct statements using GetConVarInt(), or (preferrably) cache the values as I have:

PHP Code:

#include <sourcemod>
#include <tf2_stocks> 

new Handle:hcvar_alpha_wep = INVALID_HANDLE;
new _:cvar_alpha_wep;
 
public Plugin:myinfo =
{
    name = "WepAlphanator",
    author = "Assyrian/Nergal",
    description = "makes weapons transparent",
    version = 1.0.0.1,
    url = "http://www.sourcemod.net/"
} 
 
public OnPluginStart()   
{
    RegAdminCmd("sm_alphawep", Command_SetWepAlpha, ADMFLAG_GENERIC);
    hcvar_alpha_wep = CreateConVar("sm_alphawep", "128", "Default alpha");
    HookConVarChange(hcvar_alpha_wep, cvarChange);
}

public OnConfigsExecuted()
{
    cvarChange(INVALID_HANDLE, "0", "0");
}

public Action:Command_SetWepAlpha(client)
{
    SetWeaponInvis(client);
}

stock SetWeaponInvis(client, bool:set = true)
{ 
    for (new i = 0; i < 5; i++)
    { 
        new entity = GetPlayerWeaponSlot(client, i); 
        if (entity != -1)
        { 
            SetEntityRenderMode(entity, RENDER_TRANSCOLOR); 
            SetEntityRenderColor(entity, _, _, _, set ? cvar_alpha_wep : 255); 
        } 
    }
    return Plugin_Continue; 
}

public cvarChange(Handle:hHandle, const String:strOldValue[], const String:strNewValue[])
{
    if (hHandle == hcvar_alpha_wep || hHandle == INVALID_HANDLE)
    {
        cvar_alpha_wep = GetConVarInt(hcvar_alpha_wep);
        if (cvar_alpha_wep > 255 || cvar_alpha_wep < 0)
        {
            cvar_alpha_wep = 128;
            LogError("Value of sm_alphawep is invalid. Plugin will behave as if value was 128.");
        }
    }
} 


You might also want to put in a way to reset the weapons to standard opaqueness. This can be achieved by appending a second argument of "false" to whenever you call SetWeaponInvis()

SetWeaponInvis(client, false);

it's working, what was wrong with the way I did it?

Please see my post, directly above yours.

ty howard, one more thing; the stock weapons like rocket launcher, stickybomb launcher, revolver and so on are not becoming transparent.

how do I fix this?

Also, I tried your edited code, it gave me an error 23 + 100 and a tag mismatch :/
