Definition of the dm_togglerandomweapons Command
dm_togglerandomweapons is a command designed for the game mode known as Deathmatch, bringing players the possibility to allow all the players to spawn with a random selection of weapons after dying. Therefore, it’s one of the most popular deathmatch commands, as it allows the admins and hosts to customize the gameplay experience for everyone.
As opposed to conventional CS:GO commands that require an argument to execute a specific function, dm_togglerandomweapons is a cvar client command. Therefore, you only need to input it as it is via console, and it will execute its function automatically, which is turning on or off the random weapons spawn in the Deathmatch game mode.
To turn on this function, you need to input the command, and if you wish to turn it off after enabling it, simply input the command again and it will deactivate this function. Therefore, it acts like a switch you can use to turn this special function on and off.
Based on this definition, here you have the main takeaways of this Deathmatch command:
- It is a cvar client command that doesn’t require an argument to work
- It acts a switch, allowing you to turn on and off the random weapons spawn as necessary
- It will only work if you have admin rights or if you’re the server host, because it will affect all the players in the game
Now that you have a proper overview of the command, let’s see how it works.
How Does the dm_togglerandomweapons Command Work?
To make it easy for you to understand how the dm_togglerandomweapons command works, here you a breakdown:
- You input the dm_togglerandomweapons command via console
- You press “Enter” and the game receives the indication that you want all the players to spawn with random weapons after dying
- The game will use a random number generator to determine the weapons each player will get every time they spawn
- The players will receive their randomly-generated selection of weapons instantly after spawning
- This function will keep running unless you decide to turn it off by inputting dm_togglerandomweapons via console.
As you can see, it’s fairly easy to understand how the command works, and in fact you only need to worry about inputting it to turn it on and off as needed, because there’s no reason to worry about the random number generator the game will use to determine what weapons each player will get.
We also recommend you to bind this command, in case you want to turn it on and off quickly without having to launch the developer console every single time. We will explain how to do it in the next section.
