Get weapon by weapon_class

[Nicksf13]

There's any way that I can get the Weapon() using the weapon class? Not using player:activeweapon(), player:getWeapon().

Something like:
weapon = getWeaponByName("weapon_smg")

Basically no.

A weapon entity must exist for you to be able to "get it", whether it is lying on the ground or is owned by a player.

you can use this [img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img] [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/ents/FindByClass]ents.FindByClass[/url]
but it returns a table

Adding on, if it does exist and a player is holding it, you should be able to get it from a player holding it with [img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img] [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Player/GetWeapon]Player:GetWeapon[/url]

Each weapon has it's own entity class, so calling ents.FindByClass() or running ents.GetAll() checking if the ent is the weapon class name should do the trick.
