edit

This entity is not in the FGD by default.
See below for instructions on making it available.

Not to be confused with weapon_knife.

weapon_melee is a point entity available in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.

Although weapon_melee uses the same model as weapon_knife, it is not the same weapon.

It's one of many new entities added with the Danger Zone update.

This entity itself is unused in-game. Instead, there are other weapons that are subclasses of this "throwable base weapon", i.e. weapon_axe, weapon_hammer and weapon_spanner.

Entity Description

Players can only pick this entity up if game_type 6 and game_mode 0 are set. This is the case in Danger Zone.

The primary attack is similar to a knife swing, but with other damage values. Hitting an enemy emits the same sound as hitting an enemy with the secondary attack of weapon_knife.
The secondary attack throws this weapon. It damages players if it has a high velocity.

Damage	unarmored	armored
normal	60 (50)*	51 (42)*
from behind	100 (100)*	85 (85)*
thrown	60	30

* consecutive swings

Note:This weapon deals more damage than weapon_knife.

It has no icon in the owning player's HUD on the bottom right.

KeyValues

CS:GO Weapon:

Is this weapon allowed to be picked up? (CanBePickedUp) <boolean> (in all games since )

Determines if players are able to pick up the weapon.

Inputs

CS:GO 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.

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.

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.

Outputs

CS:GO Weapon:

OnPlayerUse

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.
