any one know the best way to set weapon models? i see some methods that were tried before , but i dont see anything successfull .

Set w_* model with function SetEntiyModel() (sdktools_functions.inc)
Set v_* model with offset "m_nViewModelIndex"; m_nViewModelIndex it's a integer

Can you show an example of this?

SetEntityModel(entity,"w_whatever.mdl");
 
 
new Handle:ModelOffset = -1;
new String:Model[32];
 
ModelOffset = FindSendPropOffs("CHEGrenade","m_nViewModelIndex");
 
 
if(ModelOffset != -1)
{
           SetEntDataString(entity,ModelOffset,Model,31);
}

The "CHEGreande is the base for the he nade , you might want somethign else

Does this actually work?

I know when I changed view models a couple years ago they wouldn't work because of model consistency checking stuff going on.

well if player models can be changed , weapon models can be also . i havent tested this code yet , but it makes sence theoreticly . but also a year ago there was no SDK kit realeased yet so sourcemod was missing 90 percent of its functionality .

i think server consitancy is based on :

sv_consitency 1

This was in a MMS plugin, before SM had been announced (or at least on the first major version that was completely re-written).

I just tried again and I don't get errors in the console (maybe I need to be in developer mode in listenserver?) but the world model and view model don't change when I set every weapon (immediately after it is spawned) to the mp5's model.

I did get a weird thing with the viewmodel remaining as my lowest slot weapon no matter which weapon I changed to, or if I dropped a weapon.

EDIT: Also
SetEntDataString(entity,ModelOffset,Model,31);
won't work because model index is a number returned when the model is cached. You can retrieve the index number from the engine though to set already cached models like weapon view models.

wat im wondering about is , since theres no event for weapon change specificly , how to set the models so they stay , without using a infiante loop or timer

[noob cannon lol]

I remember that overriding the the model returned in CBaseCombatWeapon::GetViewModel() did the trick since Valve decided to set the viewmodel every time the weapon was equipped or there was an animation played.

That's just a solution in a server plugin, I'm not sure if there's a way to do it in sourcemod

Like i posted in my thread. I was also wondering how to do this. And founded those functions but i had no clue getting them to work.
