now I am wondering how I can find any sound or any entity ( like the class name, or the target or w/e ) on a given map...I suspect that the only sure way is to use the valve hammer editor, but is there an easier way like some in game command or maybe a plugin?

In my case, I am trying to find the sound emitted when a player presses the use button and those camera entities on cs_assault and I dunno where to start.

hooking FM_EmitSound will give you the sound files when they are played
hooking FM_Spawn will give you the entity classnames on map load

you can also use BSPEdit to open up the map and look at its entities..not "in game" but it's easier than hammer.

FM_Spawn, // int ) (ent)

#include <amxmodx>
#include <fakemeta>

public plugin_precache()
{
    register_forward(FM_Spawn, "fwd_Spawn");
}

public plugin_init()
{
    register_plugin("FM_Spawn Research", "0.1", "Exolent");
}

public fwd_Spawn(ent)
{
    if(!pev_valid(ent))
        return FMRES_IGNORED;
    
    static classname[32];
    pev(ent, pev_classname, classname, sizeof(classname)-1);
    log_amx("Entity spawned. Classname: %s", classname);
    return FMRES_IGNORED;
}

and of course if you need to, you can add origins and such to the logs

ay, thx for that
btw, I don't think BSPEdit works anymore...I have been trying to run it but it refuses to load

after much googling my favorite combination is BSPTwoMAP+valve hammer editor + extracted .ent file from the map.bsp
