20th Anniversary Update: Player Stunstick

Have you ever wanted to use the melee weapon that the Metrocops held? (which only appear in 4 maps)

Thanks to someone at Valve, this is now possible.

Before Anniversary Update

There were 2 ways of getting them.

Either modifying the code.

Or doing a very convoluted copy and paste from Gamebanana.
Which was
"ent_create weapon_stunstick;ent_fire weapon_stunstick addoutput "classname weapon_#HL2_StunBaton"

There were problems though, you couldn't select the stunstick through the weapon selection UI,
neither could you quickswitch to it.
You could only select it back by using "use weapon_#HL2_StunBaton" in console.
And strangely enough, it uses the Half-Life 2 Beta Model.

Thankfully in the update, that is no longer needed.

Post Anniversary Update

Now you can finally get it by just typing: "give weapon_stunstick_player"
Or you can just type "stunstick_pickupable 1" to pick it up as a weapon in Route Kanal.

Despite it being unused, It even has it's own icon and name.

It even uses its Half-Life 2 Deathmatch model instead of the Half-Life 2 Beta Model at launch.

What now?

With this information, you could either use it for mods, maps, and more thanks to the Workshop.

And that's basically it, see ya
