Hello, a Brazilian server (Skull of maggots) has a plugin that replaces No-Mercy's helicopter by a flying car, during finale escape.
I could not find it. I even searched out of AlliedModders and had no result.
Does anyone it's name?

I tried to recreate it but I couldn't and gave up.

Well, I think they added a mod from SteamWorkShop (or GameMaps) and put that file to the client make download with sv_consistency/sv_pure and whitelist files

you could do this with stripper just change the chopper model KV to the model you want.

I tried it thousand times and nothing worked. Sometimes helicopter keeps still in air or the replacement model keeps still in air.

SDKHooks doens't hook helicopter spawning at all. It just hook some weapons spawning.
I performed a for(new i=1; i<=maxentities; i++) to get the helicopter entity.
But changing model makes helicopter/car invisible or still.

I even tried to ignite helicopter and nothing worked. Neither AcceptEntityInput("ignite") nor IgniteEntity(ent)...

May I be hooking the wrong entity??

I also tried all above with NO-MERCY'S introduction helicopter... and nothing worked.

I thought about that. But I didn't find any workshop for that purpose.

you could try parent a car prop to the chopper using an attachment point.

Hello and thanks you for replying to me.
I have tested but it doesn't seem to work for me.
I'm trying to replace intro helicopter by a police car, but nothing changes.
By the way, I'm testing on LEFT 4 DEAD 1, I'll test the same file you uploaded here in L4D2 just for testing.
Maybe am I working on wrong model?
Shall I place something on /dump/ folder?
This is my file:
[CODE]
modify:
{
match:
{
"model" "models/hybrydphysx/news_helicoptor_map1_intro_v1.mdl"
}
replace:
{
"model" "models/props_vehicles/police_car.mdl"
}
delete:
{
"model" "models/hybrydphysx/news_helicoptor_map1_intro_v1.mdl"
}
insert:
{
"scale" "0.99"
}

}
[CODE]

I also tried:

modify:
{
	match:
	{	
	"model" "models/hybrydphysx/news_helicoptor_map1_intro_v1.mdl"
	}
	replace:
	{
	"model" "models/props_vehicles/police_car.mdl"
	}

}

and:

modify:
{
	match:
	{	
	"model" "models/*heli*.mdl"
	}
	replace:
	{
	"model" "models/props_vehicles/police_car.mdl"
	}

}

Nothing above worked on l4d1 Any idea?
I restarted "left4dead.exe" process on each change to ensure "stripper" loads successfully.

Finally I have replace it but there is a problem.
The car doesn't move. It is still, just like my script.

My alternative idea was making helicopter invisible and attaching a non solid car.
But I couldn't, same problem: Helicopter (and car) don't move.
