Does anybody knows how to create and use game_player_equip with a plugin?

I mean, I guess I know how it works but I've tried to create and add some weapons as kvd but doesn't work.

As far as I know, this entity give items to players when they spawn.

example :

entity = create_entity( "game_player_equip" );
DispatchKeyValue( entity, "weapon_knife" , "1" );
DispatchKeyValue( entity, "weapon_glock18", "1" );
DispatchKeyValue( entity, "ammo_9mm" , "3" );
DispatchKeyValue( entity, "targetname" , "equipment" );
DispatchSpawn( entity );

Then you need to trigger it either using another entity (any entities which can called a target ) either I guess with Ham_Use or something.
This entity doesn't give weapons at spawn. It needs another entity to trigger it ( game_playerspawn used multi_manager )
Something like : https://forums.alliedmods.net/showpo...27&postcount=2 ; but it will called each times on resethud too ; so it may not a good idea.

Right, but what about this:

http://developer.valvesoftware.com/w...e_player_equip

Spawns one or several entities at the location of the player. Used in multiplayer games to automatically equip the players with standard gear on map spawn

I want the engine give items automatically using it.

Yes it works, you don't need any other trigger ent.
But weapons will be given also when players send command "fullupdate".

oh I was not aware, so yes it should work so, though never tried.

I'm idiot, I was aware. Last time I have decompiled PlayerSpawn() for Connor and it's quite the same as the HLSDK one and we can see well it search for game_player_equip automatically :

void CHalfLifeMultiplay::PlayerSpawn( CBasePlayer *pPlayer )
{
    if ( pPlayer->m_bJustConnected )
    {
        return;
    }

    bool addDefault = true;
    CBaseEntity *pWeapon = NULL;
    
    pPlayer->pev->weapons |= ( 1 << WEAPON_SUIT );

    while ( pWeapon = UTIL_FindEntityByClassname( pWeapon, "game_player_equip" ) )
    {
        pWeapon->Touch( pPlayer );
        addDefault = false;
    }

    if ( pPlayer->m_bNotKilled )
    {
        addDefault = false;
    }
    
    if ( addDefault || pPlayer->m_bIsVIP )
    {
        pPlayer->GiveDefaultItems();
    }

    pPlayer->SetPlayerModel();
}

Last question.
Should this entity be created at precache or can be created during game?

[Arkshine]

If it searches like that on player's spawn we can guess it can be creatde in game without problem.

Sorry to bump this old thread.
If there is already an existing game_player_equip entity. Is it possible to know which all keyvalues it has, i.e., which all weapons it gives ?
