Hi everyone,

I'm trying to set a new arm model for the T. I'm using this method that everyone seems to use:

PHP Code:

public void OnPluginStart()
{
    HookEvent("player_spawn", OnPlayerSpawnPost);
}

public void OnMapStart()
{
    PrecacheModel("models/player/custom_player/hekut/talizorah/talizorah.mdl");
    PrecacheModel("models/player/custom_player/hekut/talizorah/talizorah_arms.mdl");
    
    AddFileToDownloadsTable("models/player/custom_player/hekut/talizorah/talizorah.dx90.vtx");
    AddFileToDownloadsTable("models/player/custom_player/hekut/talizorah/talizorah.mdl");
    AddFileToDownloadsTable("models/player/custom_player/hekut/talizorah/talizorah.phy");
    AddFileToDownloadsTable("models/player/custom_player/hekut/talizorah/talizorah.vvd");
    AddFileToDownloadsTable("models/player/custom_player/hekut/talizorah/talizorah_arms.dx90.vtx");
    AddFileToDownloadsTable("models/player/custom_player/hekut/talizorah/talizorah_arms.mdl");
    AddFileToDownloadsTable("models/player/custom_player/hekut/talizorah/talizorah_arms.vvd");
    
    AddFileToDownloadsTable("materials/models/player/custom_player/hekut/talizorah/glow_sheet.vtf");
    AddFileToDownloadsTable("materials/models/player/custom_player/hekut/talizorah/mask_normal.vmt");
    AddFileToDownloadsTable("materials/models/player/custom_player/hekut/talizorah/mask_sheet.vmt");
    AddFileToDownloadsTable("materials/models/player/custom_player/hekut/talizorah/mask_sheet.vtf");
    AddFileToDownloadsTable("materials/models/player/custom_player/hekut/talizorah/tali_normal.vtf");
    AddFileToDownloadsTable("materials/models/player/custom_player/hekut/talizorah/tali_phong.vtf");
    AddFileToDownloadsTable("materials/models/player/custom_player/hekut/talizorah/tali_sheet.vmt");
    AddFileToDownloadsTable("materials/models/player/custom_player/hekut/talizorah/tali_sheet.vtf");
}

public void OnPlayerSpawnPost(Handle hEvent, const char[] szName, bool bDontBroadcast)
{
    int iPlayer = GetClientOfUserId(GetEventInt(hEvent, "userid"));
    
    if (IsPlayerAlive(iPlayer))
    {
        switch (GetClientTeam(iPlayer))
        {
            case CS_TEAM_T:
            {
                SetEntityModel(iPlayer, "models/player/custom_player/hekut/talizorah/talizorah.mdl");
                SetEntPropString(iPlayer, Prop_Send, "m_szArmsModel", "models/player/custom_player/hekut/talizorah/talizorah_arms.mdl");
                
                PrintToChat(iPlayer, "OnPlayerSpawnPost T");
            }
            case CS_TEAM_CT:
            {
                
            }
        }
    }
} 


Everything works fine if I die as CT and respawn as T.
The issue is: if I survive the round as CT and switch team using 'CS_SwitchTeam()' --> I will still have the CT arm model after the 1st respawn (Everything works fine after the 2nd respawn as T...)!

The funny thing is: after the 1st respawn, if I fast-switch to my desktop, and then go back to the game: tadaaaaaaa --> The arm model is updated.

What am I missing? CS_SwitchTeam() needs something else?
Thank you

Try switch team then respawn player

[Maxximou5]

This should help you.
More to the point, you are setting it on the client spawning, which CS_SwitchTeam never does.

@Neuro Toxin: I will need to kill the player, right?

@Maxximou5: I don't understand your point.

All the examples I found with 'm_szArmsModel' are done like above, but it seems that it works only when the player has been killed.

What I'm trying to do is: switch the player team (Without killing him if he's alive), then modify its model + arm model (When he respawns is ok --> I switch the players only during the round end).
The model is always fine, but the arm model isn't updated at the 1st respawn.

==> I would like to avoid to use ChangeClientTeam().

I've spent two days trying to find a workaround, but I had no luck.
So yes, you need to kill the player and respawn them in order for the change to get applied.

I tried to solved or reduce that bug in my arms plugin

Thank you for your help.

I will continue to dig with IDA. I found the function 'CCSPlayer::SetViewModelArms', it can help to understand how everything works. I need to search more .
