You can do this in many ways. Few examples
ReplaceString(STRING, sizeof(STRING), "weapon_", "", false);
Or just use STRING[7] (using the index specify the character, from which you want to use STRING)

I would need a code sample to check what's the problem

[xerox8521]

PHP Code:

    new client = GetClientOfUserId(GetEventInt(event, "userid"));
    new attacker = GetClientOfUserId(GetEventInt(event, "attacker"));
    decl String:Name[64];
    decl String:Name2[64];
    decl String:weapon_name[64];
    new health = GetClientHealth(attacker);
    GetClientName(attacker, Name, sizeof(Name));
    GetClientName(client, Name2, sizeof(Name2));
    GetClientWeapon(attacker, weapon_name, sizeof(weapon_name));
    ReplaceString(weapon_name, sizeof(weapon_name), "weapon_", "", false);
    PrintToChat(client,"\x04[SM] %s has killed you with a %s and has %d hp left",Name,weapon_name,health);
    PrintToChat(attacker, "\x04[SM] You have killed %s with a %s",Name2,weapon_name);

Try replacing

PHP Code:

ReplaceString(weapon_name, sizeof(weapon_name), "weapon_", "", false);
PrintToChat(client,"\x04[SM] %s has killed you with a %s and has %d hp left",Name,weapon_name,health);
PrintToChat(attacker, "\x04[SM] You have killed %s with a %s",Name2,weapon_name); 


with

PHP Code:

PrintToChat(client,"\x04[SM] %s has killed you with a %s and has %d hp left",Name,weapon_name[7],health);
PrintToChat(attacker, "\x04[SM] You have killed %s with a %s",Name2,weapon_name[7]);

Now it works thanks for your help

Also, instead of manually reading the client names, use the proper formatting tools.
You aren't using it anywhere out of format-compliant functions, so simply doing

PrintToChat(whoever, "name: %N", Client);

will print the name of that client nr.
