i don't understand exactly how that works, what i meant was, find_entity_in_sphere , not by creating a spheric zone, but a rectangular one

I requested it some time ago (although for "fun" module, not cstrike). Its useful for zombie mods to get rid of some specific items (like grenades from zombies on round end, instead of using strp_user_weapons + give knife).

In your example, this is a context where you need to remove anything except knife, this current way would be safer since it resets all as it should. It makes sense here to start from nothing to avoid any HUD or internal glitches. Ultimately you could create yourself one time the player_weaponstrip entity and just calling Use when you need it. It makes me think that since now we have gamedata files, we could call directly RemoveAllItems() in strip_user_weapons instead of creating/deleting each time, it might be a welcomed improvement if you need to do that at spawn.
I'm still not really convinced about removing silently a specific weapon, it sounds like a hint of badly designed plugin. Depending mod, item you may need to do more stuffs, like for C4/Defuser. It kinds of encourage to use an unsafe way. Try to give me another example?

Yea something like that. But in my case it difference..

Ok let say we are creating a custom buy weapons plugin.

1. I spawn with defaut weapon (knife and usp).
2. I want to buy a new secondary weapon, but i dont want multiple pistols in slot 2. I dont want to drop it.. I want to completely remove the usp. This will prevent player from spamming and dropping pistols. Also can reduce entity count in map.

Trust me many people need this feature.

Why dont you add the stock yourself.

there is perfectly good ones out there. but i guess it would be more "efficent" to do it directly from the module, but i really dont think it matters.

You can strip_user_weapons, then remove the weapon entity with hooking FM_SetModel.

would be easier with that way though, just 1 line > done

Do you clearly understand what strip_user_weapons do?
It remove all weapons in player slots.

What if i have 1 rifle 1 pistol 1 grenade 1 shield?
All my current weapons will be remove right.

I want to avoid it.

Also hooking FM_SetModel is no a good way. It calls too often.

This sounds like more you need a forward or something called when default items are about to be given or a native which does block internally. Acting after weapons have been created and given doesn't seem the right way.

Nope i dont need a forward.. Read the comment i replied to skutumen.

Removing weapon on drop is fine. Hooking SetModel is fine as well. Anything which is not called per frame is not called often. There is no performance issue. But I understand that if you can avoid to create x entities at once at spawn, can be welcomed, but at this point, maybe you should remove the default weapons and let people choose what they want, this would make more sense.

[SkumTomteN]

You can drop each weapon, primary / secondary.

i guess you can configure it the way you want it to be. removing entity, adding nade/shield support.

Also, your server wont die by hooking FM_SetModel, ive done it too many times and never had a single problem with it.

PHP Code:

stock drop_weapons(id, dropwhat)
{
    // Get user weapons
    static weapons[32], num, i, weaponid
    num = 0 // reset passed weapons count (bugfix)
    get_user_weapons(id, weapons, num)
    
    // Loop through them and drop primaries or secondaries
    for (i = 0; i < num; i++)
    {
        // Prevent re-indexing the array
        weaponid = weapons[i]
        
        if ((dropwhat == 1 && ((1<<weaponid) & PRIMARY_WEAPONS_BIT_SUM)) || (dropwhat == 2 && ((1<<weaponid) & SECONDARY_WEAPONS_BIT_SUM)))
        {
            // Get weapon entity
            static wname[32]; get_weaponname(weaponid, wname, charsmax(wname))
            engclient_cmd(id, "drop", wname)
        }
    }
}
