how would i do this in CS:S

#include <hacks>

new g_iHooks[MAXPLAYERS + 1] = { -1, ... };

new Float:endOrigin[3], iIndex = -1;

public OnPluginStart()
{
    HookEvent("weapon_fire",weapon_fire_event);
}

public Action:weapon_fire_event(Handle:event, const String:name[], bool:dontBroadcast)
{
    new client = GetClientOfUserId(GetEventInt(event,"userid"));
    
    if(!IsClientConnected(client) && !IsClientInGame(client) && !IsPlayerAlive(client))
        return Plugin_Continue;
    
    static String:weapon[64];
    GetEventString(event,"weapon",weapon,sizeof(weapon));
    
    if(StrEqual(weapon,"knife"))
        return Plugin_Continue;
    
    decl Float:ClientOrigin[3],Float:weaponOrigin[3];
    GetClientAbsOrigin(client,ClientOrigin);
    GetWeaponOrigin(client,weaponOrigin);
    
    ClientOrigin[2] -= 6;
    
    // now here add your trace beam
    // do it from ClientOrigin to WeaponOrigin

    
    return Plugin_Continue;
    
}

public call_TraceAttack(client, inflictor, attacker, damage, hitbox, hitgroup)
{
    if(!inflictor || !attacker)
        return Hacks_Continue;
    
    decl Float:origin[3],Float:angles[3];
    GetClientAbsOrigin(attacker,origin);
    GetClientEyeAngles(attacker,angles);
    
    new Handle:trace = TR_TraceRayEx(origin,angles,MASK_SHOT,RayType_Infinite);
    
    if(TR_DidHit(trace) && IsClientInGame(attacker))
    {
        iIndex = attacker;
        TR_GetEndPosition(endOrigin, trace);
        CloseHandle(trace);
    }
    
    CloseHandle(trace);
        
    return Hacks_Continue;
} 


public OnClientPutInServer(client)
{
    g_iHooks[client] = Hacks_Hook(client, HACKS_HTYPE_TRACEATTACK, call_TraceAttack, false);
}
 
 
public OnClientDisconnect(client)
{
    Hacks_Unhook(g_iHooks[client]);
}
 

public GetWeaponOrigin(client,Float:origin[3])
{
    client = iIndex;
    CopyVector(origin,endOrigin);
}

stock CopyVector(Float:v1[3],Float:v2[3])
{
    v1[0] = v2[0];
    v1[1] = v2[1];
    v1[2] = v2[2];
}

Maybe this could help you

Well TraceAttack is not available for TF2. Otherwise the only thing I can tell your doing different is using GetClientAbsOrigin and I used GetClientEyeAngles and GetClientEyePosition. Would this make much difference?

[SAMURAI16]

maybe you could use this:

// modify here
public your_weapon_fire_event(client)
{
    new Float:clientOrigin[3],Float:aimOrigin[3];
    GetClientAbsOrigin(client,clientOrigin);
    GetAimOrigin(client,aimOrigin);
    
    clientOrigin[2] -= 6;
    
    // make TEbeam from clientOrigin to aimOrigin

}
    
    
stock GetAimOrigin(client, Float:hOrigin[3]) 
{
    new Float:vAngles[3], Float:fOrigin[3];
    GetClientEyePosition(client,fOrigin);
    GetClientEyeAngles(client, vAngles);

    new Handle:trace = TR_TraceRayFilterEx(fOrigin, vAngles, MASK_SHOT, RayType_Infinite, TraceEntityFilterPlayer);

    if(TR_DidHit(trace)) 
    {
        TR_GetEndPosition(hOrigin, trace);
        CloseHandle(trace);
        return 1;
    }

    CloseHandle(trace);
    return 0;
}


public bool:TraceEntityFilterPlayer(entity, contentsMask) 
{
     return entity > GetMaxClients();
}

Ensure WeaponOriginOffset is the right Offset?

[CrimsonGT]

How would I go about that?

[Kigen]

Well, first log what its being set to or print it.

PrintToChatAll("WeaponIndex %d WepOriginOff %d", WeaponIndex, WeaponOriginOffset);

Also, almost forgot, might be a good idea to get the Offset in OnPluginStart(). Seeing as an Offset shouldn't change during game play. ( DO REMEMBER THAT THERE ARE DIFFERENT OFFSETS FOR DIFFERENT WEAPONS IF YOU WERE TO PRE-LOAD IT. )

[CrimsonGT]

WeaponIndex: 1018 WeaponOriginOffset 716

It prints that wether I set the offset in onpluginstart() or leave it in the function. It is still drawing from 0,0,0 as the BeamOrigin for some reason though... I am clueless.

[CrimsonGT]

Okay so heres what I figured out. I ran a GetEdictClassname on the players weapon, and it returned tf_weapon_syringegun_medic. Its entitynetclass is CTFSyringeGun. Heres the results of the little test script I made...

CTFSyringeGun & m_vecAbsOrigin = -1
CTFSyringeGun & m_vecOrigin = 716
tf_weapon_syringegun_medic & m_vecAbsOrigin = -1
tf_weapon_syringegun_medic & m_vecOrigin = -1

Problem is, when I use the one that returns 716 (the one I was using initally, it draws the BeamOrigin from 0,0,0. So I am just at a loss now. Any help would be great.
