Is there any way to restrict which clients can use the action key to pick up the dropped weapon, i.e. just the client who triggered the drop? I have an idea that requires this to be possible.

*fingers crossed*

Write an extension to detour the Pickup function, or use SM 1.8+'s OnClientCommandKeyValues forward to hook the +tf_action_slot_item command and block if there's a dropped weapon near them.

I've uh...I've never written an extension. I've also never written a Metamod plugin. Too advanced for my blood.

Wouldn't it be better to detour CTFPlayer::CanPickupDroppedWeapon? Or is that only checked on the client side?

Wasn't enough when we tried. It does class checking in CTFPlayer::PickupWeaponFromOther

Even if you remove class check from CTFPlayer::PickupWeaponFromOther then picking up weapon from different class than client's own will result in server's crash sadly...

Awww fucking hell.

I just want to point out that this does NOT work with MvM. I'm assuming the reason for that is because the in-game functions psychonic calls does a check for the game mode and probably stops execution if it detects MvM (which is probably how Valve nerfed it for MvM). The weapons do not spawn at all in MvM.

I can confirm it works on koth_suijin... but yeah for MvM this is totally useless. Thanks for the effort and release though!

I might have to use my shit weapon drop plugin and then use TF2Items to give a proper weapon right as a dropped weapon is picked up... hacky as hell and removes ubercharge percentage but FWIW it should sort of work.

You could try

PHP Code:

GameRules_SetProp("m_bPlayingMannVsMachine", 0);
//Spawn weapon
GameRules_SetProp("m_bPlayingMannVsMachine", 1); 


But that might just break alot of things

PHP Code:

int CreateDroppedWeapon(int fromWeapon, int client, const float origin[3], const float angles[3])
{

    // Offset of the CEconItemView class inlined on the weapon.
    // Manually using FindSendPropInfo as 1) it's a sendtable, not a value,
    // and 2) we just want a pointer to it, not the value at that address.
    int itemOffset = FindSendPropInfo("CTFWeaponBase", "m_Item");
    if (itemOffset == -1)
        ThrowError("Failed to find m_Item on CTFWeaponBase");
    
    // Can't get model directly. Instead get index and look it up in string table.
    char model[PLATFORM_MAX_PATH];
    int modelidx = GetEntProp(fromWeapon, Prop_Send, "m_iWorldModelIndex");
    ModelIndexToString(modelidx, model, sizeof(model));

    GameRules_SetProp("m_bPlayingMannVsMachine", 0); 
    
    int droppedWeapon = SDKCall(hCreateDroppedWeapon, client, origin, angles, model, GetEntityAddress(fromWeapon) + Address:itemOffset);
    if (droppedWeapon != INVALID_ENT_REFERENCE)
        SDKCall(hInitDroppedWeapon, droppedWeapon, client, fromWeapon, false, false);
        
    // Enable it again:
    GameRules_SetProp("m_bPlayingMannVsMachine", 1); 
    
    SetEntProp(droppedWeapon, Prop_Send, "m_bInitialized", 1);        // not sure if this is needed
    
    return droppedWeapon;
} 


Got it to work, thanks for the help! You guys are awesome.

It shouldn't be
