ok, well i'm not sure of a way to detect that because he uses FakeClientCommand to give the laser.

as for the deagle, i must have forgoten it in the weapon check. ill try to fix that within a day or two

EDIT: i just checked, the deagle works perfectly fine, if you are giving the laser to yourself and you have the deagle out, it will still remove the crosshair, but you should just have to switch weapons once to get it to reset.

Ok, I just tested it myself and everything is fine. I was taking word from a friend who obvously didn't get what this plugin was supposed to do even though I told him 3 times.

I went to implement this and 2 problems came up. firstly, weapon_pickup still did not trigger. but thats easy to get around. the larger problem is that the entityid of the weapon that the player is holding is (atleast per-clientid) constant. no matter if i picked up a gun off of a spawn point, gave one to myself, ent_create'd one, or anything, the value being returned by GetPlaterWeaponSlot(client,1) was always the same.

Working good, but crosshair comes back after proceeding to next chapter for me.

Maybe weaponslot 1 are the pistols and the primary weapon is in 0
2 is definitly the "grenade"-weaponslot for pipes and molos.

oh... ok well, that fixes the problem of getting the weapon id, now the problem is picking up a dropped weapon triggers neither item_pickup or weapon_pickup, so even with the current version, if you picked up a dropped weapon that doesn't have a laser, it wont re-set your crosshair untill you find a weapon spawn. i might just throw a check code in the weaponswitch function, since it gets called ( 3 times actually for some reason, once to pistols, then twice to the primary weapon) and compare it to the weapon that you had before.

sorry about the double post, but i just updated to 1.1.0, fixing a few large crash bugs, and more importantly, weaponid based detection. leaving me with just the problem of transferring data between levels, since players spawn with duplicated weapons.

1.1.5 is unstable.
Sometimes, this prevent the player to change weapon. I don't know how to reproduce the bug.

Was playing Dead Center 3, unable to change weapons, Thanks now I know what causes this. I was just about to report another bug though.

When a charger hits you with a ram, and you get free from his gasp with the help of another survivor, the crosshairs return.
