You can also check if the currententity is the viewmodel on the model
rendering code and just return when it goes to draw it.

Actually, there IS a drawback in my code. As the weapon model is
rendered
AFTER triapi (or with depthfunc disabled), it shows in front of the
polygons. I tried to get a viewmodel pointer clientside and set its
renderamount to 0, but that did not work. I got it to be halfway
transparent, but it never disappeared completely. So what you have to do
is
to set the viewmodel to NULL either serverside or clientside (the first
way
definitely works - I haven't tried the second yet).
