Distance from drop point to dropped weapon point

Unkolix · **Author**

Hello. I know that I can block weapon drop with this event:

PHP Code:


			
RegisterHam(Ham_CS_Item_CanDrop, "weapon_deagle", "StopDrop")

But I wonder is there any way to calculate the distance from player drop point, to the dropped weapon.

Any ways, suggestions, examples?

ofc
hook the weapon dropping and save the player's origin, then after a couple of seconds search for the wep entity and get it's origins.
then it's basic math

Thanks. Won't it bug with other near by dropped weapons? (F.e. Deagle)

you need to register everything properly to be sure that the entity you get the origin of is the one dropped by the player

Set to it a custom info( in pev_iuser1 or whatever ) and check this when you search for your entity, so you can know if this is the weapon that you want.

You probably can use TraceToss. Not sure though.
