Hello, so this is my code:

strip_user_weapons(id)
give_item(id, "weapon_knife")

When I give a knife to a player it plays the buy sound. Any way around it?

FM_EmitSound

It worked, thanks.
But if I block the buy sound using this forward it will block every time a buy sound occurs, right? There is no way to block the sound in that specific moment of my code with any other method? (I've figured a way but just wanna make sure FM_EmitSound is all I can work with)

You can register FM_EmitSound right before give_item and unregister it right after.

register_forward
give_item
unregister_forward

Or what if he set bool variable to true before give_item and then check in FM_EmitSound if this variable is true and if yes, only then block?!

Whatever works.

what he suggested is better, because with your way the forward will be called for all sounds and the value of bool will be checked all the time, so that's wasted CPU instructions

if you do it the way he said, the actual register / unregister will be a bit more expensive, but you save on continuous usage as emitsound is called for many other things (knife sounds as an example)


it's not really important in this particular scenario but it took me a while to learn that it makes a huge impact for functions such as prethink, it's better to learn to do it right and get used to doing it that way

Thanks!
