Parameters:

Return Values:

Example Usage:

public OnPlayerDeath(playerid,killerid,reason)
{
    new gunname[32], string[64], fName[MAX_PLAYER_NAME], sName[MAX_PLAYER_NAME];
    GetWeaponName(reason,gunname,sizeof(gunname));
    GetPlayerName(playerid,fName,MAX_PLAYER_NAME);
    GetPlayerName(killerid,sName,MAX_PLAYER_NAME);
    format(string, sizeof(string), "%s has wasted %s using a %s.", sName, fName, gunname);
    SendClientMessageToAll(0xFFFFFFAA,string);
    return 1;
}

Fix for returns null IDs for 18, 44, and 45.

// Now use GetWeaponNameEx
stock GetWeaponNameEx(weaponid, weapon[], len = sizeof(weapon))
{
    switch(weaponid)
    {
        case 18: strcat(weapon, "Molotov Cocktail", len);
        case 44: strcat(weapon, "Night Vision Goggles", len);
        case 45:  strcat(weapon, "Thermal Goggles", len);
        default: GetWeaponName(weaponid, weapon, len);
    }
    return weapon
}
