Hey. Newbie question inbound: how would I go about blocking a certain weapon, say, weapon_ak47, from firing?

What I have so far:

public OnPluginStart()
{
    HookEvent("player_shoot", Event_Shot_Fired, EventHookMode_Pre);
}

public Action:Event_Shot_Fired(Handle:event, const String:name[], bool:dontBroadcast)
{
    if ( // weapon is weapon_ak47 )
    {
        return Plugin_Handled
    }
    return Plugin_Continue
}

Also, would something like hooking player_shoot be considered too expensive to use like this, as it does tend to happen quite a lot? I assume not...

Events in most cases are only indicators of something that happend
example: player_hurt, player_death, round_start
So you can't stop those things from happening by blocking events

You might have some luck with SDKTools thought

Edit: Here's the code

PHP Code:

#include <sdktools>

public Action:OnPlayerRunCmd(client, &buttons, &impulse, Float:vel[3], Float:angles[3], &weapon, &subtype, &cmdnum, &tickcount, &seed, mouse[2])
{
    if(buttons & IN_ATTACK)
    {
        if(IsClientInGame(client) && IsPlayerAlive(client))
        {
            new activewep = GetEntPropEnt(client, Prop_Send, "m_hActiveWeapon");
            
            decl String:classname[64];
            GetEntityClassname(activewep, classname, sizeof(classname));
            if(StrEqual(classname, "weapon_ak47"))
            {
                buttons &= ~IN_ATTACK;
                return Plugin_Changed;
            }
        }
    }
    return Plugin_Continue;
} 


It should work, i guess?

Really? After reading the wiki, I was under the assumption that EventHookMode_Pre was handled before actually passing the event: https://wiki.alliedmods.net/Events_%...locking_Events

Thanks for the code, I'll give it a shot later tonight.

Yeah, it's handled before passing the event
But the problem is that event is only notification created to inform client
example: player_death shows killicons etc.
If you block it from happening it wont show killicons but player will die anyway

I see. Well, your code did indeed work, however the firing animation, kickback, bullet holes, firing sounds etc. still happen, which is confusing. Oh well, back to tinkering. Thanks!

That's due to client prediction. There's not much you can do about that.

They are happening because the client side predict stuff. A normal game would be really laggy otherwise if you were to wait for the server to approve every action.
