Change model for one client

wsky · **Author**

Hi,

is it possible to change the model of an entity just for one client?
Example: The Admins get a different playermodel but only other admins can see it.

SendProxy perhaps?

changing the model OnThink is a bad idea, right? XD

Seems too much work and a lot of headaches.

Anyway you can attach a model to the body and make the original invisible for the others with SetTransmit, but still will have to replicate all sequences to the body and use Think hooks.
Also is a bit buggy sometimes, is not a 100% solution.

using SendProxy may be better.

wsky, you can copy any default.mdl (any standart skin) to custom.mdl and upload only those single file to your clients instead of the real model pack.
Then, you can create .vpk for your admins, that will override custom.mdl with a real model.

Thanks for the suggestions!
I'll try messing around with SendProxy once I have some time.
