Checking if a entity is certain weapon

Shlomi · **Author**

first of all, sry for bad english.

mkay, i have an entity index and i want to check if its deagle.

Code:

public plugin_init( ) {
	RegisterHam( Ham_Weapon_PrimaryAttack, "weapon_deagle", "OnDeagleAttack", 1 );
}

public OnDeagleAttack( ent )
{
 // what now?
}

ive tried with pev( ent, pev_classname ) and then check if it is equal to "weapon_deagle" but its seems it returns number and not string, heres what happend when i tried to print this on chat:

Code:

client_print( 0, print_chat, "%s", pev( ent, pev_classname ) );

i also tried to check if ent == CSW_DEAGLE although i know this function returns me the id of the entity, and it didn't work.

thanks

Why would you even need to check? It's very redundant because you're hooking deagle.
BTW, you're using pev_classname wrong. It should be:

PHP Code:


			
static name[32]
pev(ent, pev_classname, name, charsmax(name))

RegisterHam( Ham_Weapon_PrimaryAttack, "weapon_deagle", "OnDeagleAttack", 1 );

weapon_deagle is the classname for what you are registering your hook, so it will work only for deagles. What pev_classname gives you is a string, so you have to use it like pev( iEnt, pev_classname, szString, charsmax( szString ) ). Also, you have to create your szString variabile with a given size like new szString[ 20 ] or whatever.

anyway, thanks, i guess i forgot it works this way.
you can lock this thread or whatever

Why you would need a check for something that you already know ? It doesn't make sense.

Code:

new const WeaponsInfo[ ] [ Weapons ] =
{
	{ "weapon_deagle", CSW_DEAGLE, "Deagle" },
	{ "weapon_m4a1", CSW_M4A1, "M4A1" },
	{ "weapon_m3", CSW_M3, "Shotgun" },
	{ "weapon_ak47", CSW_AK47, "AK47" },
	{ "weapon_awp", CSW_AWP, "AWP" },
	{ "weapon_scout", CSW_SCOUT, "Scout" }
}

new HamHook:Weapons_Attacks[ sizeof( WeaponsInfo ) ];

Code:

	for( new i = 0 ; i < sizeof( Weapons_Attacks ) ; i++ )
		Weapons_Attacks[ i ] = RegisterHam( Ham_Weapon_PrimaryAttack, WeaponsInfo[ i ] [ ID ], "OnPrimaryAttack", 1 );

now you understand genious?
