Hi, is there a SDKHook for when a player is trying to shoot a weapon?
Is this something SDKHook_WeaponCanUse can do?

I want to block firing weapons, as long as the weapon is not a revolver.

[Bacardi]

Yes there is. You not want try test all those sdkhook types...?

Maybe use this: https://wiki.alliedmods.net/Counter-...ts#weapon_fire (without sdkhooks)

[Bacardi]

Events are fire after action, so it's too late to block weapon shoot.

*edit
weapon restriction is good plugin example to examine.

Even with PreHook?

But there is not also SDKHook type what block shooting... then need block weapon switch or equip weapon else, etc. etc.

*edit
One way is block button. But player still see his weapon firing.

PHP Code:

public Action OnPlayerRunCmd(int client, int &buttons, int &impulse, float vel[3], float angles[3], int &weapon, int &subtype, int &cmdnum, int &tickcount, int &seed, int mouse[2])
{

    if(buttons & IN_ATTACK) 
    {
        buttons &= ~IN_ATTACK
        return Plugin_Changed;
    }

    return Plugin_Continue;
}

I do the same thing Bacardi does, use OnPlayerRunCmd and in your case, you'll want to do something like this

PHP Code:

ent = // entity of the weapon you want to block
SetEntPropFloat(ent, Prop_Send, "m_flNextPrimaryAttack", GetGameTime() + 1.0); 


In the example above, the ent is a primary weapon. If you're trying to block a secondary weapon, replace "m_flNextPrimaryAttack" with "m_flNextSecondaryAttack" to block secondary weapon attacks.

Let us know if it works. Good luck

So in my plugin, the only thing the players have are decoys and one has a knife aswell. How can I then make it block throwing a decoy grenade? It's basically the only thing that I actually need to block out, the option to throw grenades

I have no idea what you're doing but the code I posted above and Bacardi's code above that is all you should need to block people from using weapons. Instead of blocking individual weapons, maybe just block all but e.g.,

PHP Code:

if (weapon != "only_weapon_that_can_fire") {
    // block weapon
}

Bacardi's tip is probably the one that's most relevant in my case, then.
But yours is really good to know about! I keep learning alot with entprops and such and it has helped me in many ways recently!

I did this in the end:

PHP Code:

public Action OnPlayerRunCmd(int client, int &buttons, int &impulse, float vel[3], float angles[3], int &weapon, int &subtype, int &cmdnum, int &tickcount, int &seed, int mouse[2]) { 
    char sWeapon[64];
    GetEntityClassname(weapon, sWeapon, sizeof(sWeapon));
    
    if(buttons & IN_ATTACK) {
        if(StrEqual(sWeapon, "weapon_decoy")) {
            buttons &= ~IN_ATTACK;
            return Plugin_Handled; 
        }
    } 

    return Plugin_Continue; 
} 


But since I'm at work currently I'm unable to test it. I will test it later today and update this post with the results!
