I've been trying to get the primary weaponname just before a player picks up an item/weapon in L4D2, but it always returns the pickup up item/weapon, not the previous item/weapon in player's first slot.

If I'd only need the weapon, I could use the weapon_drop event or the m_hLastWeapon netprop, but I need more data than that. So I need to be able to get it before item_pickup.

I'm new to SDKHooks, and I've been told I could possible prehook it with SDKHooks, but I wouldn't know how...

PHP Code:

public OnPluginStart()
{
    HookEvent("item_pickup", evtPreItemPickUp, EventHookMode_Pre)    
}

public Action:evtPreItemPickUp(Handle:event, const String:name[], bool:dontBroadcast)
{
    new client = GetClientOfUserId(GetEventInt(event, "userid"))
    if(client)
    {
        if(GetClientTeam(client)==2 && !IsFakeClient(client))
        {
            PrintToChatAll("Before Player Picks Up and Item:")
            
            // get data before item_pickup event?
            new entprimary = GetPlayerWeaponSlot(client, 0)
            if(IsValidEdict(entprimary))
            {
                decl String:sCurrentPrimary[128]
                GetEdictClassname(entprimary, sCurrentPrimary, sizeof(sCurrentPrimary))
                PrintToChatAll("-> Player's Current Primary: %s", sCurrentPrimary)
            }
            else
            {
                PrintToChatAll("-> Player does not have a Primary")
            }
        }
    }
    return Plugin_Continue
}

Nevermind. I used the weapon_drop event afterall and got the data I needed from the dropped weapon, instead of the weapon (in slot1) before it's dropped.
