how to hook if player just shooted?

Voi · **Author**

i was using prethink and then in_attack, but its inefficient since i want to hook each bullet not just pressing attack button

so anybody got an idea? i was thinking if i could mb hook weapon sounds thru
FM_EmitSound but i can hook only knife sounds :/

PlaybackEvent hook. This method is more accurate than CurWeapon and TraceLine methods.

Make sure that you don't take in account non-gun events like createsmoke, etc.

In plugin_precache() hook PrecacheEvent and cache necessary event indeces. In plugin_init() unhook PrecacheEvent and hook PlaybackEvent.

EDIT:

You can review [HowTo] Properly catch shot event in CS

Which method is better ?
PlaybackEvent hook or Ham_Weapon_PrimaryAttack? Which one is called before other and which one would be better to control recoil ?

The first.

Could you explain why ?

PrimaryAttack is called a lot of times when you hold +attack/2 when the event is called only one time by bullet ; for your need it would be better to use the event.
