CS: disabling a weapon from the buy menu Created 20 years ago2004-07-10 01:12:38 UTC by Howdy

Ho do i disabling a weapon from the buy menu?
example: disabling AWP so that no one can buy it...

impossible. i don't care how many times people ask this or how many times people disagree with me, it cannot be done without using amx on the server, therefore if you're making a map that you want people to be able to buy all guns except the awp, then you're shot outta luck. if you're running a server and want to take out the awp, then you're in for a lengthy period of tutorial reading while you figure out how to do it.

remember: vip scenario removes the option to buy a scout, is that any good to you? (lol tbh)

you could, well... hmm, maybe you could; no, that's impossible too, ah well. now stop asking these silly questions!!!

Certain scenarios remove certain weapons, like AS_ and ES_.

thanks for that...

You mentioned AS, but not ES. Did/does anyone even play ES anymore (or ever ) ?

Get amx and restrict the awp

No, its as_maps only and thats because its an as map. Could be a glitch or it could be on purpose but if a map is an as_map ther will bo no shotguns/machines guns/mp5's/other weapons

From the Counter-Strike manual:

Assassination: One member of the CT team will serve as the VIP. The object is to get the VIP safely to the pre-defined Safety Points. If he dies, the CTs lose the round. If he makes it safely, the CTs win. The VIP has a unique skin, only carries a knife and pistol, and has ample armor. The terrorist job is to assassinate the VIP, but with the CTs guarding him, it is never an easy task. Certain weapons cannot be purchased in this gameplay scenario, and these will be greyed out on the weapon selection screen.

Not a glitch.

And CS_Siege never restricted weapons because you can't without a server mod or a certain gameplay type.

hmm... ok, too bad tho.

disable buying and lay out weapons, like in two armoury rooms. make the spawns far enough away to give teams time to choose. but don't lay any awp's

this is good for a fun map only tho. unless you desinged a very good story/mission to explain the purpose behind it.

And I'm shocked you guys don't know the very basics of cs game modes. cs was the first; then came de, along with dust and ak's; and don't hold me to it, but I'm sure as and es were some of the first modes after cs. i think as/es/de were all introduced at the same time, around 1.3. after removal of the scoped m4
es is not played or mapped for because it is very buggy, and because there was never an es map with the popularity of dust (dust made de very popular)
therefore es died out. it's still possible to make the maps, but don't try and sell it as a perfect bug-free map

as removes certain weapons to balance the game and give the vip a chance to escape (as_tundra was popular but oilrig came in and devoured the competition)
awp's are allowed in as so it's not really an option if you want to disable the awp lol, but it gives you an idea of how they wanted as to be played (t's holding areas and trying to pop a lone ct, with ct's at full firepower), almost the equivalent of es, but as was siad, es is buggy.
it is actually possible to equip the vip with another pistol, which is worth keeping in mind (think trigger's and weapon_equip's)
anyway..

In the version of CS that was included with Platinum (before Blue-Shift was included and Valve gave us third-party mods instead) we were introduced to DE/AS/ES.

Escape failed to become popular because AWPs were allowed, so the CTs camped with AWPs by the escape zone and just eliminated the terrorists. Assassination is still played by some, but is not the mainstream game type for the same reason.

Dust is the entire reason Defusion grew and is now the most popular mode. You could go in for close quarters combat through the dark hallways or snipe people from a distance near the bomb sites. This gameplay balance always made for a great game.
