Entity Description

The M4A1 Carbine is a Counter-Terrorist exclusive rifle that uses ammo_556mm ammunition. It holds 30 rounds in magazine and 90 in reserve.

CS:S / CS:GO / CS2 Weapon:

Ammo (ammo) <integer> (only in ): Amount of reserve ammo to be added. Fallback value is 0. !FGD
Is this weapon allowed to be picked up? (CanBePickedUp) <boolean> (in all games since ): Determines if players are able to pick up the weapon.

Start Constrained : [1]

Prevents the model from moving.

CS:S / CS:GO / CS2 Weapon:

SetAmmoAmount <integer> (in all games since ): For guns, sets the number of bullets in the active magazine. Does nothing for grenades.
Every value behaves like its congruent value in the range 0-255 in modulus 256 (e.g. -255 and 257 behave like 1 etc.). When set to 0, the owner may start reloading automatically, if possible. Other values congruent to 0 (-256, 256, 512, ...) might cause undefined behavior. Values congruent to -1 (mod 256) make the ammo numbers disappear. If set to a value outside the weapon's clip size, reloading might deliver unexpected results.
Behaves like SetClipPrimary.

SetReserveAmmoAmount <integer> (in all games since ): For guns, sets the number of bullets in reserve for reloading, clamping at the weapon's maximum (e.g. 90 for the weapon_ak47).
For grenades, sets their count, clamping at the current maximum depending on the convars ammo_grenade_limit_*; When setting to 0 or below while holding the grenade, the player no longer owns any, but the viewmodel stays.
Negative values make a gun's ammo display disappear and reloading is impossible.
Negative values are clamped to 0 for guns.

ToggleCanBePickedUp <boolean> (in all games since ): Toggles whether the weapon can be picked up by players. Visually, nothing changes and there is no event if picking up fails. Hover texts like "[E] Swap for AK-47" remain in both cases.

SetClipPrimary <integer> (only in ): For guns, sets the number of bullets in the active magazine, clamping between 0 and its clip size; When setting to 0, the owner may start reloading automatically.
Does nothing for grenades.

SetClipSecondary <integer> (only in ): Bug:Does nothing. SetReserveAmmoAmount works. [todo tested in?]

CS:S / CS:GO / CS2 Weapon:

OnPlayerUse: Fires when a player +uses this weapon (!activator is the player.). Does not fire if the weapon is picked up successfully.

OnPlayerPickup: Fires when a player picks this weapon up (!activator is the player.).

OnCacheInteraction (removed since ) !FGD: When dropped, fires every tick on player touch (!activator is the player.).
Also fires on successful +use pickup. Does not fire if CanBePickedUp is false.

OnNPCPickup (removed since ) !FGD: Fires when an NPC picks up this weapon (!activator is the NPC). Bots are considered players, so this output has no functionality.
Hostages might be NPCs, but they don't pick weapons up.
