How can one go about getting the killer's and victim's class upon the death event

I am binding to player_death, and the event only has the keys 'userid' and 'attacker'
there are 2 methods in the sourcemod api that has to do with the player class

but im not entirely sure on how it works?

stock TFClassType:TF2_GetPlayerClass(client) //what is stock?
native TFClassType:TF2_GetClass(const String:classname[]); //this doesnt seem to be a solution

You need to convert the client's UserID(which bot event ints "userid" and "attacker" have) into a client index then use TF2_GetPlayerClass on the client index.

"stock" just means it's a method that will only be compiled if you actually use it.

It's really just a wrapper around a GetEntProp call.

Having said that, TF2 has a few quirks you need to know about regarding player_death...

• it fires when Spies fake their death. You can detect if this is happening using this:
  
  PHP Code:

  if (GetEventInt(event, "death_flags") & TF_DEATHFLAG_DEADRINGER)
{
    return; 
} 

  This assumes tf2_stocks is loaded.
• TF2's player_death has a victim_entindex field, which just happens to be the player's client index.

Also, make sure attacker is > 0 and <= MaxClients. 0 means the world killed the player (fall damage, death pits) while an entity index means something else killed them (Halloween boss, etc...)

what type does it return, im getting tag mismatch

new victim = GetClientOfUserId(GetEventInt(event,"userid"));
new victim_role = TF2_GetPlayerClass(victim);

TF2_GetPlayerClass returns a int of type TFClassType, so you'll have to tag victim_role as such.

Unfortunately, TFClassType is defined in tf2.inc instead of tf2_stocks.inc.

Including tf2_stocks.inc automatically includes tf2.inc (but not the other way around.)

What exactly do you mean by that? So when I'm building an insert query to a mysql database,
is it an integer? like

 ("%d", victim_role)

or something would work?

he means this:

new victim = GetClientOfUserId(GetEventInt(event,"userid"));
new TFClassType:victim_role = TF2_GetPlayerClass(victim);

Infront of "victim_role" before the "new" put "TFClassType"
