Yay. New update which might break lots of mods and plugins.

Is it possible to spawn a specific weapon on the ground by command? Maybe something like giveweapon, but not actually giving a user weapon, just spawning it on the ground.

To be honest, I'm not sure if it's currently possible.

I will say this: It's likely only possible to create regular items (without skins) this way. The reason being that SourceMod can't modify item attributes for dropped weapons because it uses a CUtlVector netprop, which SourceMod doesn't support.

Since I haven't tried creating them yet, I'm not sure if items will be visible if the item ID or account ID are empty.

The TF2Attributes plugin might be able to add attributes to it, though...

Spawning works, all you do is set the m_iItemDefinitionIndex to an index and on pickup the weapon will have that items default attributes, you can add attributes to dropped weapons with TF2Attributes and spawned dropped weapons are visible on pickup for everyone on the server

Trying to do that myself but I'm failing. Suggestions from experts would be helpful.

You need to give it a model

[Potato Uno]

So I have to precache ALL the weapon models?

Oh good lord. I'll try that then. Thanks!

Use TF2IDB query weapon model from it with the weapon index and precache it before spawn?

[Potato Uno]

Nah I got it to work, it does fall, except I can't pick it up. Is there some netprop I need to change so it is pickup-able?

If it works, then I can post the final plugin here.

(Thanks for your help so far by the way - appreciate it.)

INSTANT EDIT: I'm guessing that the reason why I can't pick it up is because the game probably thinks I'm not a soldier.

Try setting m_bInitialized to 1

[Potato Uno]

That seemed to have done the trick. Thank you very much!

I haven't actually done it properly, and I just hard-coded in the direct hit model precache out of laziness, but here's the skeleton code for anyone who wants to incorporate it into a plugin. The DropWeapon() function is 90% correct, except that it will look like a direct hit all the time. I'll finish this fully when I have time later, but this should get you started.

PHP Code:

#include <sourcemod>
#include <sdktools>

public OnPluginStart()
{
    RegConsoleCmd("sm_drop", DropWeapon, "Spawns a dropped weapon at your feet. Usage: sm_drop [item index]");
}

public OnMapStart()
{
    PrecacheModel("models/weapons/c_models/c_directhit/c_directhit.mdl", true);
    // Need to add more precaches here
}

public Action DropWeapon(iClient, nArgs)
{
    char index[10];
    GetCmdArg(1, index, 10);
    int Entity = CreateEntityByName("tf_dropped_weapon");
    SetEntProp(Entity, Prop_Send, "m_iItemDefinitionIndex", StringToInt(index));
//    SetEntProp(Entity, Prop_Send, "m_nModelIndex", 662);         Don't think this is needed.
    SetEntProp(Entity, Prop_Send, "m_iEntityLevel", 5);
    SetEntProp(Entity, Prop_Send, "m_iEntityQuality", 6);
    SetEntProp(Entity, Prop_Send, "m_bInitialized", 1);
    float coordinates[3];
    GetClientAbsOrigin(iClient, coordinates);
    GetEntPropVector(iClient, Prop_Send, "m_vecOrigin", coordinates);
    TeleportEntity(Entity, coordinates, NULL_VECTOR, NULL_VECTOR);
    SetEntityModel(Entity, "models/weapons/c_models/c_directhit/c_directhit.mdl");
    DispatchSpawn(Entity);
    PrintToChatAll("Command ran %.2f %.2f %.2f", coordinates[0], coordinates[1], coordinates[2]);
} 


Oh I should also note that you won't have any ammo in the weapon when you pick it up. Just find an ammo crate or something (I probably need to find some netprop to put ammo in it later).
