I'm trying to remove all weapons on player spawn except for the knife. I'm struggling to understand why the below code is removing all weapons.

PHP Code:

public void Event_PlayerSpawn(Event event, const char[] name, bool dontBroadcast)
{
    int client = GetClientOfUserId(GetEventInt(event, "userid"));

    if (IsValidClient)
    {
        int weapon = -1;
        for (new i = 0; i <= 5; i++)
        {
            if ((weapon = GetPlayerWeaponSlot(client,i)) != -1)
            {
                char weaponName[33];
                GetEntityClassname(weapon, weaponName, sizeof(weaponName));
                
                if (StrContains(weaponName, "knife") == -1 || StrContains(weaponName, "bayonet") == -1)
                {                 
                    RemovePlayerItem(client, weapon);
                    AcceptEntityInput(weapon, "Kill");
                }
            }
        }
    }
} 


To my understanding, StrContains() will return -1 if the string is not found. I tested this by adding some PrintToChat() messages to print out the StrContains() values and confirmed that it's producing a -1 value for weapons that are not a knife but still goes ahead and strips everything.

Because you used || instead of &&, so even if the string doesn't contain "knife", it will still continue if the string also doesn't contain "bayonet".

You're right... I see my mistake now.

I was reading that statement in my head as if it were "If it doesn't contain knife or bayonet, do this" but failed to realize that it was treating it as two different statements as in "If it doesn't contain knife, do this or, if it doesn't contain bayonet, do this."

PHP Code:


void StripWeaponsAndGiveKnife(int client)
{
    int entity = CreateEntityByName("game_player_equip");
    if (entity == -1)
    {
        LogError("Unable to create \"game_player_equip\" entity.");
        return;
    }

    DispatchKeyValue(entity, "weapon_knife", "0");
    DispatchKeyValue(entity, "spawnflags", "3");

    DispatchSpawn(entity);
    ActivateEntity(entity);
    
    AcceptEntityInput(entity, "Use", client);
    RemoveEntity(entity);
}
