Well I am making a gunshop for svencoop. The goal of my plugin part here, is to give the player and only that player a certain weapon (see example). The problem is, when I give the person a weapon, it also spawns the same weapon beneath them. I do not want other players to be able to get the weapon that that person just purchased. MyStIcSsJgOkU4 tried helping me, but now the problem is, the server crashes when ever a weapon is purchased. Here is the code

        case 4: {//5
            if(money[id] < 200)
            {
                client_print(id,print_chat,"[GunShop] You cannot afford that!")
                return PLUGIN_HANDLED
            }
            else 
            {
                client_print(id,print_chat,"[GunShop] Your purchased a Barnacle")
                money[id] -= 200
                give_item(id,"weapon_grapple")
                find_gun_ent(id)
            }
        }
        case 9: { // 0
            
        }
    }
    return PLUGIN_CONTINUE
}

//Removes guns when one is spawned
public find_gun_ent(id) //Trigger this AFTER the weapon is given RIGHT AWAY!
{
    new ent, classname[64], Float:radius = 64.0, Float:origin[3]
    entity_get_vector(id,EV_VEC_origin,origin)
    while((ent = find_ent_in_sphere(ent,origin,radius)) != 0)
    {
        entity_get_string(ent,EV_SZ_classname,classname,63)
        if(containi(classname,"weapon_") != -1) //if it does not return -1 (NONE FOUND)
        {
            remove_entity(ent)
        }
    }
    return 0
}

This is only an excerpt, but this is an example of the problem, and its not only for this weapon, but for all weapons.

Yea can someone help at all?

I noticed the weapons that are dropped by a player, are 'un-readable' I can't get it's entid, or any information about it once so ever. But the spawned weapons entitys (In the map) seems to work.

Players have a weapon_* entity that follows them around for every weapon that they have in their inventory. So you're attempting to delete a weapon straight from a player, which is why it is crashing. Try checking the found weapon_* entities and making sure that their pev_owner (or EV_ENT_owner) isn't isn't a player entity.

Found that.

This isn't the best solution though. Some users say that it's potential to crash.

Safe method will be to force weaponbox entity think.

Weaponbox deletion example is here: http://forums.alliedmods.net/showpos...71&postcount=1 (see the attachment).

Also there are some stock functions that may help in this situation:
fm_remove_weaponbox
fm_get_weaponbox_type
fm_strip_user_gun

See Fakemeta Utilities for such functions and more.

I hope it will be much easier to script for Sven Co-op when the SC module is released.

Yea that would be great Oskar, thanks everyone, ill see if I can get things to work.
Edit: Im not trying to strip the gun, but delete the gun from the ground that is also spawned when the user is give_itemed
