Precache stuff should be in OnMapStart() forward. I saw you get model path from a cvar; Don't worry, you can create cvars in OnMapStart() also

Yeah, I always do it in OnMapStart, but the cfg wasn't being executed by then so it was requiring two map changes to update the model after the convar changed.

Technically you can precache them anytime as long as you aren't adding them to the downloadables table.
