Am i just clueless about this?

Then there should be no need for combining the textures, as long as less than 32 different textures(/"sets" of textures) are used. The Source engine supports up to 32 materials per model, and each material can reference its own texture(/"set" of textures). (By "set", I mean that a diffuse/colour texture for pants and a normal map for the same pants would belong together, meaning they would be referenced by the same material.)

If you have texture A and texture B, then look at the UV coordinates for both, you will find that they will likely cross over each other. Even though Blender will show both textures' UV coordinates simultaneously, they won't necessarily belong to the same texture, meaning that though they appear to cross over each other, they may very well be entirely separate from each other due to using different textures from each other. The same goes for 20+ textures, of course. And there's not really anything that appears to be that "wrong" about how the "before unwrap" thing looks in the 3D viewport in the screenshot you posted.

But the textures dont show up i the uv map, i had to adsign them by clicking a bodypart in the list under the textures rab, then scroll to the texture in the folder amd click on it, my current problem is that i cant find out how to get the textures onto the uv map so i can make it into a single applicable material for the model and if they dont autoassign i dont think i can leave them separate or without a single material. Do you have a discord? Maybe i can screen share to show you when i get a chance.

Are you sure? Where did you find the model in question?

Firstly, compiling for what? Secondly, I explained that in my previous comment, though only for 2 textures, but you can easily just do what I explained further than what I explained, with tiling more textures beside each other and scaling the UV coordinates to lower half multiples and moving them appropriately.

I found the model online, its one usually used in vrchat as an avatar and im trying ti compile it for porting into garrysmod as a playermodel. By tangled uv mesh i mean when looking at the wrapped mesh its just a billion crissing lines, and for the textures, each bodypart has its own texture which all came as tgas and dont automatically apply when the model from its folder is imported to blender. The model goes into blender as a .pmx but im trying to get it with the skeleton ive tweaked to fit out as a .smd for compiling and importing to garrysmod.

The uv is all tangled till i unwrap it, each one of he 20+ textures that i have applied are square images that each have a slot to be apllied to. How would i turn them into a single texture for compiling?

Im looking to bake a set of multiple textures that difficultly all came seperately for different parts. Every time I go to uv unwrapped the textures i have applied to be in the right place, the textures get all messed up, i was wondering if anyone knew the solution to this. ( https://imgur.com/a/uHVXE - left=before uvunwrap, right=afteruvunwrap) Also im not sure if baking the textures is what im really looking for, so if you also know how to get the pre applied textures as a single image in a uv mesh, that would be helpful as well.
