I'm trying to make the player switch weapons

@SayCommand('!knife')
def sayHintText(say, index, team_only=None):
    p = Player(index)
    p.set_active_weapon(Weapon('weapon_knife'))

But I get an error

Code: Select all

The weapon class inherits from the Entity class. It requires an index, not a string.

Syntax: Select all

@SayCommand('!knife')
def sayHintText(say, index, team_only=None):
    player = Player(index)
    weapon = player.get_weapon('weapon_knife')
    if weapon is not None:
        player.active_weapon = weapon

I think there is also a client command you can call in your plugin which will change their weapon based on the weapon string, but I don't remember it off hand.

If I remember correctly, that would be the following command:

Syntax: Select all

player.client_command('use weapon_knife', server_side=True)
