How to Create Bind Keys to Change the Model in GMOD

"GMod," or "Garry's Mod," is a sandbox-style computer game that runs on the Source physics engine. Because gameplay is not limited by a story line, players can use the in-game creation menu to build whatever gadgets or contraptions they can imagine. While in-game, the player is represented by a model. You can bind a key to automatically change your character's model in the console window. This can help you quickly change between models without having to go into the settings menu each time.

Instructions

- 1
  Load "GMod" and enter a public game through the multiplayer menu, or enter a single-player game.
- 2
  Open the console by pressing "~." If your console does not open, turn on the console activate from the main menu by clicking "Options," selecting the keyboard tab and checking the box for "Enable Developer Console."
- 3
  In the console window type "bind" (without quotations), followed by the key that you want to bind in quotations. Type the model-changing command. Type the model name in quotations. For example, to bind the "y" key to model-change, type: bind "y" "cl_player modelname."
- 4
  Press "Enter" and close the console by pressing "~." Press the bind key to change your model.
- 5
  Repeat Steps 3 and 4, using a different key to bind for any number of models you want to use.
