I am using CurWeapon, haven't used it before, so im not exactly sure if it's suppose to work that way, nor i am sure if it's still a relevant event (if there's something more 'modern' let me know please)

I am trying to set different effects for different id's, for example

PHP Code:

public CurWeapon_event(id){
    switch(g_currentid[id]){
        case 0:set_user_gravity(id, 0:5)
        case 1:set_user_speed(id, float(600))
        case 2:b_RandomBool[id] = true
    }
} 


Client has an option to choose between 3 g_currenid[id] items, when he pickes one of them, the effects that they're suppose to give him when he chooses are given Only when he switch weapons.

If say it is used in a Knife only situation, where players cannot Switch to resume the effects from CurWeapon, what could i do besides a PreThink?

if you want player to gain that effect on specific weapon, you can set in WeaponDeploy and when player select that effect from the menu.
However, iirc,
- set_user_gravity will stay the same once set (so you only need to set it when player select it from menu and when PlayerSpawn if it reset)
- set_user_weapon will reset everytime player switch weapon (you can set in WeaponDeploy)
- the last one idk

CurWeapon only use in some niche situation when it needed since it called many time which will reduce server performant if used too much.

Ye tho, if it's only Knives i don't see how catching Deploying a knife when you already have one makes sense

I am awere that i can set user gravity when They choose the item ID, but i don't want those effects to be constant, but only active while they have the current item id.
I could simply just add lots of checks/tasks thruout the code, but it doesn't seem practical.

Probably the best approach would be hooking Ham_Item_Deploy for all weapons and inside the function check if the weapon is knife, else remove the effects.

CurWeapon is called each time your ammo count changes, while Ham_Item_Deploy only when you change weapons.

[LondoN]

Use Ham_Player_Jump for jump features
Use Ham_Player_ResetMaxSpeed for speed features
Use Ham_Item_Deploy for weapon features
And for gravity idk, probably it's possibile setting gravity using ham module.
And for bools use different event/ham forward/fm forward depending on your dependencies.

register_event("CurWeapon", "Event_Cur_Weapon", "b", "1=1", "2=29", "3=-1");

this will be called only when the player deploys the knife, i don't see any reason also to not use the curweapon event.

Because he wants to disable the effects when he deploys another weapon. And hooking other weapons with this event will lead to many function calls.
The knife is called only once because it has no ammo.

its actually easily possible using curweapon event also to hook when the player deploy another weapon when he was holding a knife by checking if the first argument (active) is equal to 0.

register_event("CurWeapon", "Event_Cur_Weapon_tookoff_knife", "b", "1=0", "2=29", "3=-1");

its actually better than using ham_deploy since you need to hook all weapons classnames while using curweapon you need only 1 or 2 hooks.

[Celena Luna]

iirc, you can also detect switching to other weapon by using Ham_Item_Holster

PHP Code:

RegisterHam(Ham_Item_Holster, "weapon_knife", "fw_Knife_Holster") //Only trigger when switch from knife to other weapon 


so you don't actually need to hook every Ham_Item_Deploy of every weapon.
or at least, that how I tested in CS 1.6

Edit: Also, I didn't find much infomation on how CurWeapon work online rather actual test in-game
