Hey anyone know how to animate models in a plugin?

I am able to load them to replace a players model but they are unanimated (they just float stiff as a board).

I found another post that said to use SDK Calls but that was replaced by a newer function. Not sure if it is a bug in the function or if I am just calling it wrong:

if( PrecacheModel("models/combine_soldier_prisonguard.mdl",true) != 0 ){
	SetEntityModel(target,"models/combine_soldier_prisonguard.mdl");
}

I also noted people refering to a clientmodel.games.txt but I was not sure what that was, where I would upload it to, or what it was for.

You need to use models that are based on the same skeleton/animations as the player. For example, if you are using CSS, you can't use the standard HL2 player models because CSS expects a slightly different set of bones and animations. You would need to decompile the model, and rig it to a CSS skeleton in modeling software such as XSI, and recompile with the CSS bones and animations.

Ahh thanks for the heads up. These were ported from garys mod, so I guess I can live with the issue until i get time to recompile them.
