I'm trying to think of how to do this. I know how to use SDKHooks/DHooks now so those work too.

Essentially I'm trying to make it so Heavies can weapon switch as long as their minigun's m_iWeaponState is 0. It's 0 when the heavy is idle or winding down his minigun. Normally you cannot weaponswitch until he is done winding down.

I only know how to detect weapon switches after they've occurred via the provided SDKHooks... afaik you can't detect slot1/slot2/slot3 keypresses in TF2 via Sourcemod, so I have no way to detect if clients "Attempt" to weapon switch.

So the only other options afaik would be to patch ... something that tells the client whether or not it's okay to switch. I guess?

I don't think the client sends anything about it.

Solved.

Looked at Weapon_CanSwitchTo() / CanHolster / CanDeploy in the source SDK and valve dev wiki.

Also here's this:

PHP Code:


// m_iWeaponState for Miniguns
enum
{
    WeaponState_Idle = 0, // Applies while winding down
    WeaponState_WindUp,
    WeaponState_Firing,
    WeaponState_Revved
} 


... Somehow I always manage to solve my own stuff shortly after I give up and ask for help.
