Again, thank you for your replies.
I have been testing your suggestions the last few days...

I guess you mean checking it each GameFrame. That would theoretically work, but the interval between GameFrames is too long --> too inaccurate

I need it to work every time an attack is performed, whether someone was hurt by it or not.

Its in old syntax sorry i prefer it. PHP Code: public OnPluginStart() {     AddNormalSoundHook(SoundHook); } public Action:SoundHook(iClients[64], &iNumClients, String:sSampleFile[PLATFORM_MAX_PATH], &iEntity, &iChannel, &Float:fVolume, &fLevel, &iPitch, &iFlags) {     //checks for sounds     //Note besure to optimize heavily this will forward all sounds that are emitted!     //like storing ent refs of already checked entitys that are not knife or client      }  I'm not a css coder so its just a shot in the dark of how i would go about doing it in l4d2 hope this helps

To me it doesn't really matter which knife attack is performed because i need it to work for primary and secondary, but since primary attack fires the "weapon_fire" event, it is only the secondary attack that is causing problems.
I tried that method and until now it is by far the best one, but when i compared it to "weapon_fire" event it has a small but significant delay:
CODE:

PHP Code:

public Action:NormalSoundHook(clients[64], &numClients, String:sample[PLATFORM_MAX_PATH], &entity, &channel, &Float:volume, &level, &pitch, &flags)
{
    decl String:sKnife[32];
    sKnife = "weapons/knife/knife_";
    
    decl String:sDeploy[32];
    sDeploy = "weapons/knife/knife_deploy1.wav";

    if(StrContains(sample, sKnife, false) == 0 && !StrEqual(sample, sDeploy, false))
    {
        PrintToChatAll("[SoundHook] Knife-Attack | Time %f",  GetEngineTime());
    }
    return Plugin_Continue;
}

public EventWeaponFire(Handle:event,const String:name[],bool:dontBroadcast)
{
    static String:Weapon[32];
    GetEventString(event, "weapon", Weapon, sizeof(Weapon));
    if(StrEqual(Weapon, "knife"))
    {
        PrintToChatAll("[WeaponFire] Knife-Attack | Time %f", GetEngineTime());
    }
} 


Tested with primary attack (3 times) since it also triggers "weapon_fire" event!
OUTPUT:

PHP Code:

[WeaponFire] Knife-Attack | Time 125.506652
[SoundHook] Knife-Attack | Time 125.506698

[WeaponFire] Knife-Attack | Time 125.911811
[SoundHook] Knife-Attack | Time 125.911842

[WeaponFire] Knife-Attack | Time 126.331619
[SoundHook] Knife-Attack | Time 126.331657 


It needs to have the same accuracy as "weapon_fire" otherwise it won't work for me.

You could just hook CKnife::SecondaryAttack (or actually CBaseCombatWeapon but it shouldn't really matter) using DHooks and then hook the knife entity (OnEntityCreated).

That is less than 1ms i don't think you will get any better, and that is very near weapon fire, even if you used dhooks you will see variance time variance between weapon fire

Try this on SDKHook_TraceAttack:
