Hi, long time no post.

This maybe someone had ask about this, I want to make v_handmodel works like garry's mod,
I've seen there's a plugin called backweapons for cs 1.6.
They use Engine method to instance info_target entity and then use pev_aiment & MOVETYPE_FOLLOW to make it attached to player models.

I will show his code and analyze it as far as I know, please review it (since i've longtime not to learn amx again)

PHP Code:

public client_putinserver(id) //this method will called whenever player is connected, uses id variable as entity_id (which is player itself)
{
    static infotarget //why it's static? I don't know, is that because this is declaration dump?
    if(!infotarget) infotarget = engfunc(EngFunc_AllocString, "info_target") //instance an entity
    
    g_weaponent[id] = engfunc(EngFunc_CreateNamedEntity, infotarget) //this is also another declaration but this is create new entity with previous 'infotarget' object
    if(pev_valid(g_weaponent[id])) //does this for checking pev_ ?
    {
        engfunc(EngFunc_SetModel, g_weaponent[id], g_weaponmodel) //g_weaponmodel is attachment backweapons
        set_pev(g_weaponent[id], pev_classname, g_weaponclass) //why need g_weaponclass? they just attached object
        set_pev(g_weaponent[id], pev_movetype, MOVETYPE_FOLLOW) //command to follow target(?)
        set_pev(g_weaponent[id], pev_effects, EF_NODRAW) //no idea
        set_pev(g_weaponent[id], pev_aiment, id) //I suppose this is for positioning target
    }
} 


and that plugins also have backweapons.mdl which is had submodel and bone of player model.
my thought it's for following bones of their target (player itself)
This is similar how p_models works, so I think we can do the same thing for viewmodels but since they're tend to visual purpose only objects which is always on player screen
and not something spawned to game world as backweapons did.

my idea is I make hand model separately and attach it to v_model since backweapons had synchronize hierarchy bones, making they sharing animation clip. This method is closely to gmod.
But I am not sure since entity is something spawned to game world so v_model is part of player entity, this means if my thought correct, I need information how I can attach to entity attribute like v_model.

Anyway I found it on the specialists v_model, they have attachment point.

Attachments are used for muzzle flashes. Most v_ models in all games use them.

I've tried to modify to fit on the specialists and make it attached to v_model entity by calling event CurWeapon on the specialists, but my script does not catch this event.

    //register_forward(FM_SetModel, "fw_SetModel")
} 

public plugin_precache() 
{    
    precache_model(VIEW_MODEL)
} 

public Event_CurWeapon(id) 
{     
    log_amx("this is called!!")
    new weaponID = read_data(2) 

    if(weaponID != TSW_KUNG_FU)
        return PLUGIN_CONTINUE

    static infotarget
    if(!infotarget)
        infotarget = engfunc(EngFunc_AllocString, "info_target")

    g_handEnt[id] = engfunc(EngFunc_CreateNamedEntity, infotarget)
    if(pev_valid(g_handEnt[id]))
    {
        log_amx("this is running!")
        engfunc(EngFunc_SetModel, g_handEnt[id], VIEW_MODEL) //I just want to try that is work to attached model into v_model, so I am attach knife when player unarmed/kung fu
        set_pev(g_handEnt[id], pev_classname, g_handClass)
        set_pev(g_handEnt[id], pev_movetype, MOVETYPE_FOLLOW)
        set_pev(g_handEnt[id], pev_effects, 1)
        set_pev(g_handEnt[id], pev_aiment, id)
    }
    
    return PLUGIN_CONTINUE

Solved: This is nothing wrong with my code, the specialists has different fundamental code or whatever you call this. I try my code to half-life and CurWeapon is works fine.

And my guess was right, v_models are part of player entity and it will render only in first person mode. This making my new entity attached to game world. still can't figure it how to do with first person model

I do not understand it. v_hands is a texture in the weapon model in CS 1.6, are you talking about hands_reference ? What is it you are trying to accomplish exactly?

have u tried cs:go? it's similar.

the game uses different hand, u can check it here: https://gamebanana.com/skins/cats/7640

the point that I want to achieve is implement same method as they do in cs:go or garry's mod.

as I write above, I make it on the specialists. But that game uses different event for weaponswich so I tried to half-life with TS model as a sample.

afaik there's a method implemented in counter-strike online (now become nexon studios) using submodel. But sub-model had limitation

Anyway it's not 100% solved but I figured out my own question

[DJBosma]

Didn't knew that. I know that the texture is laying on the mesh. So in your case, overlap in some way but how is it going to detect the UI map. If you have 10 guns X 4 hands - 40 models wouldn't be the brightest solution either.

I've been thinking about this, I will follow this thread for any further updates.
