How to change npc models using sourcemod?

Hello, I was wondering if there is a way to change npc models using sourcemod, if so could you give me the lines of code or a guide on how to do it?

Sorry I am a noob at coding on sourcemod and this is my first thread.

Re: How to change npc models using sourcemod?

native SetEntityModel(entity, const String:model[]);

Well I am using pawn studio, is this the correct usage? Because I am getting errors when trying to compile:

public OnPluginStart()
{
native SetEntityModel(npc_combine_s, const String:model[models/npc/combine_soldier.mdl]);
}

I suggest that you systematically go to the wiki website to learn the language.(https://wiki.alliedmods.net/Category...eMod_Scripting)

Re: How to change npc models using sourcemod?

PHP Code:


		
			
#include <sourcemod>
#include <sdktools>
#include <sdkhooks>

//attention: not On Plugin Start!
public OnMapStart()
{
    //first: If it is not a Official model, make sure your clients have this model. Or Add this model to download table.
    AddFileToDownloadsTable("models/npc/combine_soldier.mdl");    //not only .mdl files. your clients should have all the .vtf .vmt .vvd ...... files. 
    
    //second: Precache this model.
    PrecacheModel("models/npc/combine_soldier.mdl");
}

//third: set entity model when this entity spawn!
public void OnEntityCreated(entity, const String:classname[])
{
    //Judge which entity is you need. Choose one of the following two.
    //1.if(entity == index)                     //index is the entity's index you want to change model
    //2.if ( StrEqual(classname, "classname"))    //change "classname" to the entity's classname which you want to change model
    {
        SDKHook(entity, SDKHook_SpawnPost, Hook_EntitySpawned);
    }
}

public void Hook_EntitySpawned(entity)
{
    if(IsValidEntity(entity))
    {
        SetEntityModel(entity, "models/npc/combine_soldier.mdl");
    }
}

My game crashed when trying to use that script.

Re: How to change npc models using sourcemod?

PHP Code:


		
			
    //1.if(entity == index)                     //index is the entity's index you want to change model 
    //2.if ( StrEqual(classname, "classname"))    //change "classname" to the entity's classname which you want to change model

Because it is not a complete code, I'm just explaining the usage.
You should choose one way to remove the "//". not remove "//" mean's change all the entity's model.
If you choose 1 mean only change one entity, index is the entity's index.If you choose 2 mean change a type of entity, "classname" is this entity's name. And you should change the index or "classname" by actual situation.
Because I don't know which entity you want to change. I don't even know which game you want to use.

Re: How to change npc models using sourcemod?

For example:
make sure npc_combine_s is a valid entity classname which you want to set model.

PHP Code:


		
			
#include <sourcemod> 

#include <sdktools> 

#include <sdkhooks> 



public OnMapStart() 

{ 

    PrecacheModel("models/npc/combine_soldier.mdl"); 

} 



public void OnEntityCreated(entity, const String:classname[]) 

{ 



    if ( StrEqual(classname, "npc_combine_s") ) 

    { 

        SDKHook(entity, SDKHook_SpawnPost, Hook_EntitySpawned); 

    } 

} 



public void Hook_EntitySpawned(entity) 

{ 

    if(IsValidEntity(entity)) 

    { 

        SetEntityModel(entity, "models/npc/combine_soldier.mdl"); 

    } 

}

And If you don't know the entity's classname and even don't know how to get it. Use this plugin. Aim at this entity and the classname will print to center.
