I'm trying to make my own prophunt script but my server crashes when a prop dies.

dust_models is an 2d array with d2 models

PHP Code:

public void OnPluginStart()
{
    HookEvent("round_start", Event_Round_Start);
    HookEvent("round_freeze_end", Event_Freeze);
    RegConsoleCmd("sm_roll", roll_model);
}

public Action Event_Round_Start(Event event, char[] name, bool dontBroadcast)
{
    for (int i = 1; i <= MaxClients; i++)
    {
        if (IsClientInGame(i) && GetClientTeam(i) == 2) // 2 T 3 CT
        {
            SetEntityModel(i, dust_models[gen_random_number()]);
            ClientCommand(i, "thirdperson");
        }
    }
}

From experience, if you set a players model to an empty model, eg. SetEntityModel(i, ""), the server will crash when they die.

I had this issue for a loooonggg time before figuring out why, however I was only setting players' models to other player skins so it's possible you are not setting an invalid model and it might be an issue with the model itself?

I would assign dust_models[gen_random_number()] to a variable then check to make sure it's not empty before setting their model.

So I did an if to see if string was empty (don't know if that's the way it is done) and also print to the clients chat the model that they are. It works fine every terrorist changes into a random prop but the issue remains, when any terrorist die the game crashes.

PHP Code:

public Action Event_Round_Start(Event event, char[] name, bool dontBroadcast)
{
    for (int i = 1; i <= MaxClients; i++)
    {
        if (IsClientInGame(i) && GetClientTeam(i) == 2) // 2 T 3 CT
        {
            char model[128];
            model = dust_models[gen_random_number()];
            PrintToChat(i, "%s", model);
            if (model[0] != '\0')
            {
                SetEntityModel(i, model);
                ClientCommand(i, "thirdperson");
            }
        }
    }
} 


I also played an offline game with bots and changed into a banana following these steps:

PHP Code:

1. "sv_cheats 1"
2. Spawn a chicken or prop: "give chicken"
Spawn a banana: "prop_physics_create \props\cs_italy\bananna_bunch.mdl"
3. "clear" and "sv_precacheinfo"
4. Locate the modelindex number of the prop.
5. Transform yourself: ent_fire !self addoutput "modelindex (number)" 


And when i died the game crashed aswell.

Are you precaching the models?

Rather than changing the model of the player, you could try spawning a prop_dynamic_override, and set that model to the prop, then parent it to the player and make the player invisible
