Make a weapon droppable after notdroppable?

[RyBack]

I read a script somewhere that fixes the silent issue by editing the weapon's tik file
( found it it's Airbourne mod)

the tik :

	fire	garand_fire.skc

	{

		server

		{

			entry exec global/SPFIX_/soundfix.scr "m1" "fire"

			entry shoot

		}

the scr file :

_m1 local.s: // local.s = "fire"



	switch (local.s)

	{

		case "fire":

			self playsound m1_snd_fire

		break

		case "reload":

			self playsound m1_snd_reload

			waitframe

			self playsound snd_ping

		break

	}



end

I've already tried doing that, but the problen is it will play twice the sound in dm/obj maps and if a player have high ping will be played with delay

I think it's because you can shoot a weapon and drop it in the same time. Weapon gets detached from player hence there is no origin of sound - I didn't check it but it seems that sound of firing weapon gets it's origin from players position. When it's detached, game plays the sound from some distant location or something and it sound's like someone shot it from afterlife.

I'm sure it could be fixed.

Another concept, if they fire the weapon and drop at the same time, set damage to 0 so the player doesn't hurt enemy

//If notDroppable is set

	if(notDroppable->integer)

	{





		//Does player have a active weapon

		if((player->activeWeapon != 0) || (ent->client->ps.activeItems[0] != -1))

		{

    			weap = (Weapon_t *)player->activeWeapon;

 

    			if(weap != NULL)

    			{

        				//Not sure, but this may be one way of detecting whether or not a weapon is being fired and dropped

        				if(((weap->firemodeindex == "FIRE_PRIMARY" || weap->firemodeindex == "FIRE_SECONDARY") && (ucmd->buttons & BUTTON_GROUP_DROP_WEAPON)) || (ucmd->buttons & BUTTON_GROUP_FIRE_PRIMARY || ucmd->buttons & BUTTON_GROUP_FIRE_SECONDARY) && (ucmd->buttons & BUTTON_GROUP_DROP_WEAPON))

        				{

            				//If the above function passes it means that the player tried dropping the gun and shooting it at the same time.

					//Lets remove damage from him

					damage = 0;      

        				}

        			}

		}

	}

Within the game engine, modify the weapdrop function to conditionnally drop the current weapon if the current torso state is STAND.
The only possibility would be to permanently prevent players from dropping weapons by setting the notdroppable flags of all weapons to true, otherwise it requires game engine modifications.
