How to talk about something using the console without telling how to open the console?


• First, you have to go in your settings where you made your keybinds for moving, (You know, WASD and other things like that...)
Go to the very bottom of the window, and you'll see Open developer console or something like that, bind it to a key 'cus by default it's empty. (I recommend to bind it to F10 or ²)

• Now, if you press the key you just bound to open the console, it should be opened now!

I know, sorry I'm french :) but don't worry about that.
Here's how the console looks like.

Now that you know how to open the console (By the way when you want to open it, it pause automatically the game), we now have to type a specific command to remove weapons from hotbar.

First of all, you may need to type this if you're on a server : sv_cheats 1
on Singleplayer, it works perfectly without.

You're on a map, and for example you want to remove you're shotgun from your hotbar, here's what to do.


Go into the console, and type this :

If you want to remove the weapon from your hotbar including the ones landing on ground, add _all and it should give this :
Here's a greatly useful tip : If you want to know the "scripted name" of the weapon (For example here the scripted name of the shotgun is "weapon_shotgun"), you can go into you're spawn menu, go to the weapon tab, and right-click the weapon you want to know the scripted name, and "copy to clipboard".
Now go back to the console, type the begining of the command, and when you have to type the name, paste the name! :) Ctrl + V

Press enter and now if you wander in your hotbar with the middle mouse button, you'll see that you no longer have the shotgun!

It also works with the physic gun!
Note that you can't remove several weapons at a time (Or am I missing something?).

It sounds logical, 'cus I don't have the sames addons as you.

Physic gun : weapon_physgun
Crowbar : weapon_crowbar
Stunstick : weapon_stunstick
Gravity gun : weapon_physcannon
9mm Pistol : weapon_pistol
357 Magnum : weapon_357
SMG : weapon_smg1
AR2 : weapon_ar2
Shotgun : weapon_shotgun
Crossbow : weapon_crossbow
Grenades : weapon_frag
RPG : weapon_rpg
Slams : weapon_slam
Camera : gmod_camera
Toolgun : gmod_tool

Yeah, the proof that it also works with toolgun, physgun and camera! :D

If you want to know the name of another weapon (Mostly from another addon) you still can right click it and copy it to clipboard, then paste its name, that's all! :)

I hope I helped anyone with this guide! ^^

You can make the reversed way : Instead of removing, giving the desired weapon!

All you have to do is the same thing, but instead of ent_remove (Or ent_remove_all) you just type :Replace the "name" by the corresponding one of the weapon you want
It gives the weapon to the one who typed the command. But you can't give to another player.
And you can't for NPCs too, duh.
