Is it possible to start without the pistol?

[Borax]

I know the standard start is the pistol + 50 rounds. How does one modify what the player starts with?

[Paf]

acs runtime script could work by clearing inventory of everything

[ReX]

If the mod is for (G)ZDooM you can create a new player class that starts the game with no weapons/ammo (including fists).

I'd like to do it as a Boom-compatible, because I'm still learning the basics, but this is something I'll keep in mind for when I feel ready to work in GZDoom.

You can't control the initial weapon, but via DEHACKED you can set the initial number of bullets to zero.

With dehacked you can also clear state which does attack. This way you won't be able to use pistol at all, having to rely on different weapons even after bullet pickup

Oh that's really funny. You start with the pistol and then can't do anything with it.
