How can I turn off viewmodels for certain weapons?
I know that I can turn off the viewmodels of all weapons of a specific class by typing r_drawviewmodel "0" into the cfg file of that class, but how can I (with or without scripts) turn the viewmodels off for one weapon, but on for another?
e.g. I want my viewmodel to be on for my flamethrower and melee weapon for the pyro, but I want my shotgun's viewmodel off (as it helps me aim better). Is there any way I can do this?
In response to Austin's answer, I thought I'd post my entire cfg for my Pyro, to see if there are any conflictions:
cl_autoreload 1
unbind mouse3
//Secondary weapon
alias +secondary "slot2"
alias -secondary "slot1"
//Melee weapon
alias +melee "slot3"
alias -melee "slot1"
//Binds
bind "mouse5" "+melee;r_drawviewmodel 1"
bind mwheelup "slot1;r_drawviewmodel 1"
bind mwheeldown "slot2;r_drawviewmodel 0"**
There is a bit in there about when I hold mouse5, I switch to melee, and, upon release, I switch back to my primary weapon, but I don't know if this is relevant.

Adding
bindtoggle r r_drawviewmodel
to autoexec.cfg will allow you to press r (or whatever key you choose) in-game to toggle viewmodels on and off at will.

Make a toggle viewmodel:
Put in your class name.cfg:
bindtoogle [key] "r_drawviewmodel 0 1"
Then, change the [key] to a key of course and when you press your key, it will turn on and off viewmodels.
