I originally posted this in the scripting forums of sourcemod but realized that it's far more appropriate here since I use tf2items stocks to create the effect. What I'm trying to do is force equip a spell magazine so that players can actually enjoy a mod that I've been developing since halloween (which obviously revolves around spells). Unfortunately I thought I had figured out how to make it work but I was wrong.

PHP Code:

stock forceSpellbook(client)
{
    if(returnMagazine(client) == -1)
    {
        new Handle:hWeapon = TF2Items_CreateItem(OVERRIDE_ALL|FORCE_GENERATION);
        TF2Items_SetClassname(hWeapon, "tf_weapon_spellbook");
        TF2Items_SetItemIndex(hWeapon, 1070);
        TF2Items_SetLevel(hWeapon, 100);
        TF2Items_SetQuality(hWeapon, 6);
        TF2Items_SetNumAttributes(hWeapon, 1);
        TF2Items_SetAttribute(hWeapon, 0, 547, 0.5);

        new entity = TF2Items_GiveNamedItem(client, hWeapon);
        CloseHandle(hWeapon);
        EquipPlayerWeapon(client, entity);
        return entity;
    }
    else 
        return returnMagazine(client);
} 


What seems to be occuring is that the player equips the spellbook and is able to gain spells for it but they don't have the ability to cast them. Am I doing something wrong?

Maybe try to enable Halloween Mode on server

It is enabled, we use the force holiday plugin to enable constant full moon/halloween/all the other goodies.

try tf_forced_holiday 2 in server.cfg?

Tried it, no dice :/

Nevermind everyone problem solved. Typing use tf_weapon_spellbook into the console produced results showing that the entity does exist and is owned by the player (and such) but for whatever reason valve won't let you activate it with the action key.

So on that note any way to hook the action key (whether there's something in the slot or not) so I can alter its effects to use the spellbook ?

It workd fine when I tried it, but each class handles that item a bit differently. Look through the netprops and make sure it's setting them up appropriately. It may just not be resetting some.
