[TF2] Building Hats
 

What is it?
Whenever you build a sentry it will get a hat and the hat will remain through upgrades

Commands:

sm_bhats_reloadconfig : Reload buildinghats.cfg [Default acces: ROOT]
sm_buildinghats : Would you like your buildables without or with hats? [Default acces: Everyone]
sm_rerollhat : Rerolls the hats of your current active buildings [Default acces: Everyone]
sm_buildinghateffect : Allows you to choose the unusual effect of your buildings hats [Default acces: ROOT]

Cvars:
sm_bhats_version Plugin Version
sm_bhats_enabled (default: 1.0) Enable/disable plugin
sm_bhats_unusualchance (default: 0.1) Chance of unusual effect (0.1 = 10% chance)
sm_bhats_rollcooldown (default: 30 seconds) Hat reroll cooldown

Overrides:
sm_buildinghats_access : Is user allowed to receive hats on their buildings? [Default acces: Everyone]
sm_buildinghats_unusuals : Is user allowed to receive unusuals on their buildings hats? [Default acces: Everyone]

The config:
The config must include 4 things.
- The modelpath of the model you want your sentry to wear
- The offset (z offset) this offset the hat up/down and is pretty tedious to get just right
- The modelscale of the hat (1.0 is normal size)
- The animation. (use default to use default animation)
like this:
The config that comes with the plugin contains 41 unique hats because i was too lazy to type in more.
Oh, and the config goes to sourcemod/configs/

Cool. Mind adding an override feature for defining which flag is able to have sentry hats? Preferably with an option to enable/disable sentry hats for your own buildings as well.

Re: [TF2] Building Hats
 

Not a fan of hats but this is amazing!

Re: [TF2] Building Hats
 

I 2nd this, very nice thing to have but it almost certainly would be best suited for flag usage and perhaps toggle on/off?

Re: [TF2] Building Hats
 

One of these hats in your config is coming out as an error model. Not sure how to tell.

Re: [TF2] Building Hats
 

Oh my god this is amazing.

Now I need one that adds tiny hats to rockets, stickies, and those new Robots that were added.


Also, is there a limit to how big the hat cfg can be? I wonder if I could comb through the model list and just add every hat.

Re: [TF2] Building Hats
 

Ok so I uncommented the model name printing lines and found this:

The models are ".mdl" in the config so I'm wondering if their file names are too long.

Re: [TF2] Building Hats
 

How easy would it be to grab the builders current hat and add it to the sentry instead of just pulling a hat from the config?

Re: [TF2] Building Hats
 

I like this idea. Please implement that too if you wouldn't mind.
