give by console vs giveweapon by script do completely different things.

GiveWeapon only gives it if the weapon was cached into the level at level-load vs give giving the loaded asset pool for weapons.

You missing the precache is the only thing wrong. (Are you 100% sure it's been precached though?)

i 101% sure its been precached but after a nights rest im just gonna rewrite my system (its the only thing i can think of to fix it)

I had this issue with my perk system a while ago and can't remember what fixed it. I too passed the string to precache the weapon file after init in another function. I almost want to say it fixed itself, but I don't remember. I currently still have that option but only use one weapon file so I precache it in my init function of my perk system which I call in zombiemode where the others are called. It very well could still not be working for multiple weapon files in the passing the string system, I don't know. But if you have precached the weapon file in the init function, or even tried in one of the zombiemode precache functions, hud or shader or whatever, to add the weapons/bottles/items there, checked for misspellings, I guess you don't have a choice then.

but im not 100% sure that i used the right SwitchWeapon function gotta love auto complete and not checking what it auto completes into

it was giving the bottle perfectly fine but i used SwitchToOffhand() instead of SwitchToWeapon() maybe next time il check whats been typed

Edit: this makes me feel so stupid that a simple error like this would cause such an issue 

did anyone check he is precaching the "weapon file" and not the model

PrecacheItem( "perk_bottle_weapon_file" );

dont need to for guns and stuff because :

add_zombie_weapon()

precaches those in that function


EDIT - didnt see that last post
