This function returns the weapon entity index by player id weapon type, and optional weapon slot.

You can use this shortest but less efficient code :

PHP Code:

#define MAX_ITEM_TYPES 6
new const m_rgpPlayerItems_CBasePlayer[MAX_ITEM_TYPES] = {367,368,...}

#define LD_CBasePlayerItem    4
#define    m_pNext                42
#define    m_iId                43

ham_get_user_weaponent2(id, iCswId)
{
    new iWeapon
    for(new i=1; i<MAX_ITEM_TYPES; i++)
    {
        iWeapon = get_pdata_cbase(id, m_rgpPlayerItems_CBasePlayer[i])
        while( pev_valid(iWeapon) )
        {
            if( get_pdata_int(iWeapon, m_iId, LD_CBasePlayerItem) == iCswId )
            {
                return iWeapon
            }
            iWeapon = get_pdata_cbase(iWeapon, m_pNext, LD_CBasePlayerItem)
        }
    }
    return 0
} 


Or the often used only fakemeta way :

PHP Code:

fm_get_user_weaponent(id, iCswId)
{
    new szWeaponName[20]
    if( !get_weaponname(iCswId, szWeaponName, charsmax(szWeaponName)) )
        return FM_NULLENT

    new iWeapon = FM_NULLENT
    while(    (iWeapon = engfunc( EngFunc_FindEntityByString, iWeapon, "classname", szWeaponName )) > 0
            &&    pev(iWeapon, pev_owner) != id        )
    { /* do nothing */ }

    return iWeapon
}

Sorry I don't understood, this is something like get_user_weapon?

Thx ;) Now I understand.

Thanks Connor. Great yours Helps.

Thanks Connor, I was actually going to start looking into another method for this instead the the fakemeta way which i was currently using. Luckily I didn't have to look too long as you just posted this.


-----------------------

Oddly though, I came across this in someones code:

new wEnt = ExecuteHam(Ham_Item_GetWeaponPtr, id, CSW_DEAGLE)

Anyone know if this would work as intended?

ham_const shows a different format for it's usage (could it's comments be wrong?):

    /**
     * Description:  Returns the entity index if the item is a weapon, -1 otherwise.
     * Forward params:  function(this)
     * Return type:  Entity.
     * Execute Params:  ExecuteHam(Ham_Item_GetWeaponPtr, this)
     */
    Ham_Item_GetWeaponPtr,

[ConnorMcLeod]

I don't think so, it seems that you should use this function with the already entity index.

May be it's the same (or reverse) as get_pdata_cbase, i'm not sure though.

Something like :

iWeaponEnt = get_pdata_cbase(id, OFFSET, 5)

ExecuteHam(Ham_Item_GetWeaponPtr, iWeaponEnt) == get_pdata_int(id, OFFSET, 5)

More chances that it is something like index_to_pointer from vexdum

[Arkshine]

So far I understand ExecuteHam(Ham_Item_GetWeaponPtr, Entity) will return Entity ( not the pointer, the same provided entity ) if this one is a weapon, otherwise -1. Passing a player's id would return -1 since it's not a weapon.

[vittu]

So basically it's a verification check to see if the ent id supplied is a weapon?

[Arkshine]

Yep, I tried and seems that it does nothing else.

In HLSDK :

virtual CBasePlayerItem *GetWeaponPtr( void ) { return (CBasePlayerItem *)this; };
