Just as the title says. How to have regular pickup models on server with tf_force_holiday other than 0?

I find it tricky because they seem to be updating all the time, so simply changing the model doesn't work. I haven't tested changing their model in OnGameFrame() but that's gotta be terrible for optimization.

One health pickup even has custom model selected in Hammer and it's still being changed.

Any solutions? Thanks in advance!

Health pickups have a keyvalue named "powerup_model" that is used to override the models used by the game. If this is set, it will use this model instead... as well as have the models not be affected by Full Moon/Halloween mode.

"powerup_model" no longer overrides the Halloween models. I've also tried to parent a prop_dynamic_override to the health kits but it becomes invisible.

It kinda has to or else the Sandvich would have the wrong model. Unless there's some other netprop that tells it its OK to ignore the model change.

Edit: Not only that, but that's how Valve overrides health and ammo kits on their Halloween maps to prevent them from being changed into presents when Birthday mode is on.

Incidentally, are you changing this netprop before the medkit is dispatched?

I changed the netprop before it was dispatched. I just tried to change it after it was dispatched and it's still a no-go.
