I would really like to know how you can make the player drop the weapon because im getting this:

Unable to add attribute 'drop_weapon'of type 'functions' to entity type 'player'
due to the following:
Could not find signature.

AttributeError: Attribute 'drop_weapon' not found

Signature is outdated.

Very true, but in the post before mine he claims he can make it work, so i was just wondering.

Probably different games.

or operating system.

When i take enemy's weapon and trying to drop it:

CS:GO, Linux


Also CS:GO windows signatures for drop_weapon and give_named_item is outdated.

I explained why this is happening here. Update your ../addons/source-python/packages/source-python/players/weapons/__init__.py to the lastest version and this should be fixed.

As for the signatures, when the entities_changes are complete, we won't be using those signatures anyway, as both of those functions can be gotten by virtual offset instead. Also, as in another thread, CS:GO's GiveNamedItem takes another argument which we have yet to fully explore.

Is it possible to restrict a weapon completely? Like, to prevent a player for picking it up in the first place?

Yes, you can hook touch (can't remember the full function name) to stop it. I intend to create a weapon restrict mod that will also handle purchasing weapons.

The easiest function to hook is CCSPlayer::BumpWeapon.

Is there an easier way of stripping a player completly?

1st approach. This strips all weapons from a player:



player here is a PlayerEntity. Also don't forget to import:


Dropping weapons is necessary, too. If you just remove it, it still remains in player's weapons props, later raising exceptions on every attempt to work with the player's weapons.

2nd approach: since you're stripping all weapons, you could just use a player_weaponstrip entity.


I believe, the 1st approach is a subject to change when they release new player/weapon libs.

Sounds good.. How can i use the player_weaponstrip Entity? Is it just Firing the Entity On the given player?

I believe this way



The key moment here is that the player must be an activator

Just a quick note. I added CStripWeapons to the entity data, so now that could just be:

I'm going to have to spend some time on this. For HL2DM, I want to strip all but some weapons from all players who join for certain maps. Example Only for specific map dm_killbox_crossbow_big.bsp might only have crossbows available for the duration of the map level, all other weapons are stripped until the next map level.

Does the player_weaponstrip entity has any benefits over calling weapon.remove()? What about iterating over the player's weapons and calling .remove() each time? Or is it just that the weapon filters are more flexible?

No, iterating over the player's weapons and removing them is perfectly fine.
