How to take screenshots without the HUD
By TheSewerDog
This isn't really a guide that much, all this is is just to show how to take screenshots without the HUD with a simple code. I made this for people who don't want the HUD or for those posting artwork, screenshots, and workshop items with the HUD on.

What the code is and how to put it in
Here is the steps (because why not,) on how to put the code in. This code is binded, meaning that when you press the key that you used the code for, it will turn off and on, like a light switch.

Step 1: While in-game, not in the start menu, press the ~ key to open the developer console, if this doesn't work, go to "Options" and select keyboard and in "Advanced", select "Enable Developer Console".

Step 2: Once the Developers Console is on, put this code in. Also, I'm using the P key to use this code but you can use whatever key you want.
bind p "toggle cl_drawhud 01"

After you put in the code, you don't have to put it in again , the code will be in the game forever, I say it isn't a problem that it's in forever but if you are thinking about that, you don't have to do it . Below is what your game will look like with the code on and with a weapon, and remember, the code can be turned off by pressing the same key again.


And this it without a weapon.
Where I got this code from
I found this code while I was taking pictures on Garry's Mod. I give credit to DasBoSchitt for making the code. :)
I made this code to help people who don't want the HUD for pictures, not to tell them what to do.
1:37 is where I found the code

As posted, this doesn't seem to work anymore. I have successfully used the following:

Toggle BOTH the HUD & weapon:
bind p "toggle r_drawviewmodel ; toggle cl_drawhud"

Toggle HUD only:
bind p "toggle cl_drawhud"

Toggle weapon only:
bind p "toggle r_drawviewmodel"

Can I just get rid of the crosshair, like I can in Portal and Half-Life 2?

I have a problem. Its seems all this is doing is enabling the HUD, not disabling it, most likely this isn't working is becuase I have the newest version, I probobly need to use a different number. Can someone help me? Here is the output.

] bind - "toggle cl_drawhud 01"
"cl_drawhud" = "01"
( def. "1" ) client cheat
- Enable the rendering of the hud

Also, to find the map, you need to go to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Black Mesa\bms\maps" and find the map in there, I don't know what map it is but it is between "bm_c0a0a" and "bm_c3a2h"
