I am having a problem changing the model of the players class

SetEntityModel(target, "models/player/hwm/demoman.mdl");

this is an example of one of my model change code lines. The error I get is not at compile but in run-time. The Server crashes and produces the error



Any thoughts how to stop this? I don't know if it's a code or server side problem,

Thanks in advance.

You need to precache the model first.

Thanks for that, it's stopped the crashes.

However, for some reason my code isn't actually changing the players model.

PrintToChatAll("Start Class Check");
    if (TF2_GetPlayerClass(target) == TF2_GetClass("scout"))
    {
        SetEntityModel(target, "models/player/hwm/scout.mdl");
        PrintToChatAll("done");
    }else{
        if (TF2_GetPlayerClass(target) == TF2_GetClass("soldier"))
        {
            SetEntityModel(target, "models/player/hwm/soldier.mdl");
            PrintToChatAll("done");
        }else{
            if (TF2_GetPlayerClass(target) == TF2_GetClass("pyro"))
            {
                SetEntityModel(target, "models/player/hwm/pyro.mdl");
                PrintToChatAll("done");
            }else{
                if (TF2_GetPlayerClass(target) == TF2_GetClass("heavy"))
                {
                    SetEntityModel(target, "models/player/hwm/heavy.mdl");
                    PrintToChatAll("done");
                }else{
                    if (TF2_GetPlayerClass(target) == TF2_GetClass("engineer"))
                    {
                        SetEntityModel(target, "models/player/hwm/engineer.mdl");
                        PrintToChatAll("done");
                    }else{
                        if (TF2_GetPlayerClass(target) == TF2_GetClass("demoman"))
                        {
                            SetEntityModel(target, "models/player/hwm/pyro.mdl");
                            PrintToChatAll("done");
                        }else{
                            if (TF2_GetPlayerClass(target) == TF2_GetClass("spy"))
                            {
                                SetEntityModel(target, "models/player/hwm/spy.mdl");
                                PrintToChatAll("done");
                            }else{
                                if (TF2_GetPlayerClass(target) == TF2_GetClass("medic"))
                                {
                                    SetEntityModel(target, "models/player/hwm/medic.mdl");
                                    PrintToChatAll("done");
                                }else{
                                    if (TF2_GetPlayerClass(target) == TF2_GetClass("sniper"))
                                    {
                                        SetEntityModel(target, "models/player/hwm/sniper.mdl");
                                        PrintToChatAll("done");
                                    }else{
                                        PrintToChatAll("Class Not Found, No Model Set");
                                    }
                                }
                            }
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }

The output I get is
Start Class Check
Done

I placed the Precashing in the OnMapStart() method

Oh, you're doing this for TF2. Player models are handled client-side and therefore can not be changed by the server (ie a plugin).

[PsychoAlex]

Really? Damn, oh well. Thanks for enlightening me to that. Kind sucks though, a load of people running around without head could be pretty funny
