Is it possible to detect wether a client has touched an ammo pickup or the resupply cabinet? I've tried to use SDKHook_Touch from SDKHooks, but the problem is, it doesn't return the cliend index of a player that touched the item only the edict index of a touched entity.

What I'm trying to do, is to increase the max ammo reserves of some weapons, so if player picks up some ammo, I will manually set it to exceed the maximum value when needed.

Thanks in advance for any help!

The resupply cabinet code you are looking for is here (post #4).
Edit: You may also be interested in the post_inventory_application event. It's what the Equipment Manager uses to detect when you touch a cabinet.

I'm successfully using SDKHooks to detect when a player touches a medpack, but I can't remember how to get the client from the entity and I don't have the plugin in front of me. If nobody else posts the answer, I'll look it up when I get home tonight.

There was an usermessage for item pickup, but I don't remember if it fired for health or for ammunition. Use meta game to get the list of all the available usermessages.

This is what you need. Just change the item names from health kits to ammo packs.

PHP Code:

public OnPluginStart()
{
  HookEntityOutput("item_healthkit_small",  "OnPlayerTouch",    EntityOutput_HealthKit);
  HookEntityOutput("item_healthkit_medium", "OnPlayerTouch",    EntityOutput_HealthKit);
  HookEntityOutput("item_healthkit_full",   "OnPlayerTouch",    EntityOutput_HealthKit);
}

public EntityOutput_HealthKit(const String:output[], caller, activator, Float:delay)
{
  PrintToChatAll("Healthkit touched")
  if (activator > 0 && activator <= GetMaxClients() && IsClientInGame(activator) && IsPlayerAlive(activator))
  {
    RemoveEdict(caller);
//do stuff here
  }
}

It works, but it's fired only when player picks the medkit up. Is it possible to fire it whenever the medkit is touched, wether the player picks it up or not?

Try the OnCacheInteraction output. I use it to simulate grabbable power-ups in one of my plugins without requiring the player to have a lack of ammo/health.

Thanks, it works. However, there is anotehr problem. If I remvoe medkit/ammo pack with RemoveEdict, the game won't detect that it's gone, and it won't reappear again until the next round. Is there a way to prevent it, or will I have to write my own code for respawning the removed pickups?

Edit: After thinking about it...

I'm not immediately aware of a way to cause a kit/pack to "despawn" such that it'll reappear where it should be. Simulating it manually shouldn't be too much trouble though.

1. Instead of using RemoveEdict simply use the inputs Disable/Enable/Toggle
2. Start a timer for 10 seconds (I think that's how long it takes)
3. Disable/Enable/Toggle again
4. Play the item spawn sound (look at the engineer dropping ammopack plugin for this)

I've tried that, but apparently, function EntityOutput_HealthKit is called even for a disabled entity, which resulted in timer being fired multiple times.
However, I've checked that dropping ammopack plugin, and apparently pickups can be simply spawned with DispatchSpawn, without any additional work required. The code below removes any touched medkit, and spawns a new one after 10 seconds.

PHP Code:

public OnPluginStart()
{
    HookEntityOutput("item_healthkit_small",  "OnCacheInteraction",    EntityOutput_HealthKit);
    HookEntityOutput("item_healthkit_medium", "OnCacheInteraction",    EntityOutput_HealthKit);
    HookEntityOutput("item_healthkit_full",   "OnCacheInteraction",    EntityOutput_HealthKit);
}

public EntityOutput_HealthKit(const String:output[], caller, activator, Float:delay)
{
  PrintToChatAll("Healthkit touched")
  if (activator > 0 && activator <= GetMaxClients() && IsClientInGame(activator) && IsPlayerAlive(activator))
  {
        decl Float:Pos[3];
        GetEntPropVector(caller, Prop_Send, "m_vecOrigin", Pos);
        PrintToChat(activator, "Pos: %f %f %f", Pos[0], Pos[1], Pos[2]);
        new Handle:dataPackHandle = CreateDataPack();
        decl String:classname[32];
        GetEdictClassname(caller, classname, sizeof(classname));
        RemoveEdict(caller);
        WritePackString(dataPackHandle, classname);
        WritePackFloat(dataPackHandle, Pos[0]);
        WritePackFloat(dataPackHandle, Pos[1]);
        WritePackFloat(dataPackHandle, Pos[2]);
        CreateTimer(10.0, Timer_Medkit, dataPackHandle);
    }
}  

public Action:Timer_Medkit(Handle:timer, any:dataPackHandle)
{
    ResetPack(dataPackHandle, false);
    decl String:classname[32];
    ReadPackString(dataPackHandle, classname, sizeof(classname));
    new Ammopack = CreateEntityByName(classname);
    DispatchSpawn(Ammopack);
    decl Float:Pos2[3];
    Pos2[0] = ReadPackFloat(dataPackHandle);
    Pos2[1] = ReadPackFloat(dataPackHandle);
    Pos2[2] = ReadPackFloat(dataPackHandle);
    TeleportEntity(Ammopack, Pos2, NULL_VECTOR, NULL_VECTOR);
} 


Thanks a lot to all of you for the help! I would never have figured it out by myself.

Resurrecting an old thread but I did a search for this.

Instead of removing the AmmoPack entity you can just do this. This will disable the health/ammo then enable it back in 8 seconds.

PHP Code:

/////////////////////////////////////////////////
//Toggle the healthkit so it turns off then //
//send "toggle" event to the event queue //
//so it reappears in a few seconds          //
////////////////////////////////////////////////

AcceptEntityInput(closestEntity,"toggle");
new String:addoutput[64];
 Format(addoutput, sizeof(addoutput), "OnUser1 !self:toggle::8.0:1");
SetVariantString(addoutput);
AcceptEntityInput(closestEntity, "AddOutput");
AcceptEntityInput(closestEntity, "FireUser1");
        
//emit Regenerate sound from health pack
EmitSoundToAll(SOUND_REGENERATE,closestEntity);
