::MonsterMod Models Changer::

This plugin changes the models of the monsters from monstermod

::Update::
v1.1:
Now you can use any number of random models
all you have to do is open the .sma file and edit the defines at the top
but remember that each line of the .ini file has to consist of the maximum number of random models plus the original models
so if you want to use 10 random models as maximum then each line has to consist of 11 arguments

::How to Use::
Create a folder in "amxmodx\configs" called "mmmodel"
In this folder add an .ini file with the map name (ex. "de_dust.ini")
In this file add all the custom models you want to use for this map
For example:

"zombie_2"
"zombie_3"
"gargantua_red"

After that add another .ini file in this form "mapname_models.ini" (ex. "de_dust_monster.ini")
In this file you will determine what models to use for each monster
This plugin can use a defined number of custom models for each monster and it chooses randomly from these models
Form:

"original model name" "custom model 1" "custom model 2" "custom model 3" "custom model 4" "custom model 5"

Note:
(Read the v1.1 update for more details)

Examples:

"zombie" "zombie_1" "zombie_2" "zombie_3" "zombie_4" "zombie_5" //This will pick a random model from the 5
"headcrab" "headcrab_1" "headcrab_2" "" "" "" //This will pick a random model from the 2
"gargantua" "gargantua_red" "" "" "" "" //This will only pick that model

Nice

PHP Code:

new model1[31]
    new model2[31]
    new model3[31]
    new model4[31]
    new model5[31]
    new model6[31] 


->

PHP Code:

new model[6][31] // Start with 0

parse(buff, model[0], 30, model[1], 30, model[2], 30, model[3], 30, model[4], 30, model[5], 30)

        format(old_model[models_num], 30, "models/%s.mdl", model[0])
        format(new_model[models_num][0], 30, "models/%s.mdl", model[1])
        
        for(new i = 2; i < 6; i++) {
            if(!equal(model[i], "")) {
                format(new_model[models_num][1], 30, "models/%s.mdl", model[i])
                rmodels_count++
            }
        }

Can you explain why are you using a think forward to change the model ?!

I tried ham_spawn and it wouldn't work
You have any better ideas?

How about FM_SetModel ?

[Tirant]

Doesn't monster mod just create the individual monster entities, like monster_zombie and stuff? I think you could hook that with Ham_Spawn, or FM_Spawn, you just need to know the entity type that monster mod uses (if it isn't the HL1 ones).

The entity type of the monsters is func_wall
I already hooked that up with register_think
I tried all the spawn functions and non worked
I think the monsters actually spawn with no model then they get the model after the spawn function ends

Can I detect if an entity's model was changed?
