I am trying to set a bots (not sure if it makes a difference) knife entity render color to 0 (or another way to make it invisible).

I have tried the following:

CreateTimer(2.0, Timer_Alphaknife, client);

public Action Timer_Alphaknife(Handle timer, any client)
{
    // Loop through array slots and set alpha.
    // x = weapon slot.
    for (int x = 0; x < 5; x++)
    {
        int weapons = GetPlayerWeaponSlot(client, x);
        // If weapon is invalid, then stop.
        if (weapons == -1)
        {
            continue;
        }
        
        if(!HasEntProp(weapons, Prop_Send, "m_nRenderMode"))
            continue;
            
            
        // Turn rendermode on, on the weapon.
        SetEntityRenderMode(weapons, RENDER_TRANSALPHA);
        
        // Set alpha value on the weapon.
        SetEntityRenderColor(weapons, _, _, _, 0);
    }
}

The above a timer delay after spawn to set the render color (thinking maybe the entity didn't exist yet or something)

Also:

 int knife = GivePlayerItem(client, "weapon_knife", 0);
    if (knife != -1)
    {
        PrintToServer("Knife entity %d",knife);
        //SetEntityRenderMode(knife, RENDER_TRANSALPHA);
        //SetEntityRenderColor(knife, 255, 255, 255, 0);
        //SetEntData(knife, 127, 0, 4, true);
        SetEntityRenderMode(knife, RENDER_TRANSALPHA);
        SetEntityRenderColor(knife, _, _, _, 50);


//SetEntityRenderMode(knife, RENDER_TRANSCOLOR);
        //SetEntityRenderColor(knife, 255, 255, 255, 0);
        
    }

If I grab entities such as players the above code seems to work fine. The //commented out with transalpha method was what worked to begin with years ago and I'm working on getting the plugin working again. Anyone have any ideas on this?

Thank you!

You can use this, it works. (I didn't test it with bots.)

Code from here: https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=239132

PHP Code:

public void OnClientPutInServer(int iClient) {

    SDKHook(iClient, SDKHook_WeaponSwitchPost, OnWeaponSwitchPost);
}

public void OnClientDisconnect(int iClient) {

    SDKUnhook(iClient, SDKHook_WeaponSwitchPost, OnWeaponSwitchPost);
}

public void OnWeaponSwitchPost(int iClient, int iWeapon) {

    char sWeaponName[64];
    GetEntityClassname(iWeapon, sWeaponName, sizeof(sWeaponName));

    if(StrContains(sWeaponName, "knife", false) != -1)
        SetViewmodelVisibility(iClient, false);

    SetViewmodelVisibility(iClient, true);
}

void SetViewmodelVisibility(int iClient, bool bVisible) {

    SetEntProp(iClient, Prop_Send, "m_bDrawViewmodel", bVisible);
}

I disabled the other code setting the knife color and hooked to just the bots.
I created a print statement in "void SetViewmodelVisibility(int iClient, bool bVisible) {" and it is running the code but the models still seem to be holding a visible knife.

I only have a few plugins running but I'm going to double check that they aren't trying to set the render color. I double checked one but didn't see anything yet.

Otherwise I might try to run on a blank server with no other plugins/custom models and build up.

Thank you. I'll respond when I get the chance to do this I got a few other bugs that are a little higher priority with the amount of time that I've put into this and what's needed to troubleshoot. Thanks!
