Precache Models, Materials and Sound for replacing weapon model

I have the following directory structures, how would I go about caching these and replace a weapon's model with it? It uses custom materials as well.

I've tried SetEntityModel() but no luck with that.

Code:

|

|   

+---materials

|   +---models

|   |   \---weapons

|   |       \---c_items

|   |               c_motor_flaregun.vmt

|   |               c_motor_flaregun.vtf

|   |               c_motor_flaregun_balloon.vtf

|   |               c_motor_flaregun_balloon_orange.vtf

|   |               c_motor_flaregun_c_flaregun_shell.vmt

|   |               c_motor_flaregun_c_flaregun_shell.vtf

|   |               c_motor_flare_shiny.vmt

|   |               

|   \---vgui

|       \---replay

|           \---thumbnails

+---models

|   \---weapons

|       +---c_models

|       |   +---c_flaregun_pyro

|       |   |       c_flaregun_pyro.dx80.vtx

|       |   |       c_flaregun_pyro.dx90.vtx

|       |   |       c_flaregun_pyro.mdl

|       |   |       c_flaregun_pyro.sw.vtx

|       |   |       c_flaregun_pyro.vvd

|       |   |       

|       |   \---c_motor_flaregun

|       |           c_motor_flaregun.dx80.vtx

|       |           c_motor_flaregun.dx90.vtx

|       |           c_motor_flaregun.mdl

|       |           c_motor_flaregun.sw.vtx

|       |           c_motor_flaregun.vvd

|       |           

|       \---w_models

|               w_flaregun_shell.dx80.vtx

|               w_flaregun_shell.dx90.vtx

|               w_flaregun_shell.mdl

|               w_flaregun_shell.sw.vtx

|               w_flaregun_shell.vvd

|               

\---sound

    \---weapons

            flaregun_shoot.wav

            flaregun_shoot_crit.wav

Re: Precache Models, Materials and Sound for replacing weapon model

This is for the models and sounds but I don't know what to do with the materials.

PHP Code:


		
			
PrecacheModel("models/weapons/c_models/c_flaregun_pyro/c_flaregun_pyro.mdl", true);

PrecacheModel("models/weapons/c_models/c_motor_flaregun/c_motor_flaregun.mdl", true);

PrecacheModel("models/weapons/w_models/w_flaregun_shell.mdl", true);



PrecacheSound("sound/weapons/flaregun_shoot.wav", true);

PrecacheSound("sound/weapons/flaregun_shoot_crit.wav", true);

Thanks, any idea how to set the model for a weapon? I also seen PrecacheMaterial on SMLib but I never tried it

Re: Precache Models, Materials and Sound for replacing weapon model

Unfortunately, no, unless you're talking about CS:GO, I definitely remember numerous posts about it. Look up for something like world model, view model, etc. using Search above.

I found this: https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=164630 but not sure how it works, but I also found this:

Code:

new index = PrecacheModel("models/weapons/w_fire_rapier.mdl")

SetEntData(weapon, FindSendPropOffs("CBaseCombatWeapon", "m_iWorldModelIndex"), index, 4, true)

SetEntData(weapon, FindSendPropOffs("CBaseEntity", "m_nModelIndex"), index, 4, true)

But I heard it cause some problems.

Re: Precache Models, Materials and Sound for replacing weapon model

Can anyone link me a plugin that could do this in TF2? Natives would be a nice bonus. I've tried TF2Items Give Weapons

Never mind, I totally forgot about Valve's policy on attachments.
