So, in L4D1 Campaigns, it is possible to use L4D2 survivors thanks to Left4Downtown2 being able to force the L4D2 set, however this does not load the L4D2 survivor arms icons, so I tried to make a plugin to get around this issue, keeping in mind that the actual ViewModel entity of the player is obtained via the Viewmodelindex netprop.

PHP Code:

#include <sourcemod> 
#include <sdktools>

#define PLUGIN_VERSION        "1.0"

static const String:MODEL_NICK_ARMS[] = "models/weapons/arms/v_arms_gambler_new.mdl";
static const String:MODEL_ROCHELLE_ARMS[] = "models/weapons/arms/v_arms_producer_new.mdl";
static const String:MODEL_COACH_ARMS[] = "models/weapons/arms/v_arms_coach_new.mdl";
static const String:MODEL_ELLIS_ARMS[] = "models/weapons/arms/v_arms_mechanic_new.mdl";

public Plugin:myinfo = 
{
    name = "ViewModelTest", 
    author = "DeathChaos", 
    description = " ", 
    version = PLUGIN_VERSION, 
}

public OnPluginStart()
{
    RegConsoleCmd("sm_v", ViewModelTest);
}

public OnMapStart()
{
    CheckModelPreCache(MODEL_NICK_ARMS);
    CheckModelPreCache(MODEL_ROCHELLE_ARMS);
    CheckModelPreCache(MODEL_COACH_ARMS);
    CheckModelPreCache(MODEL_ELLIS_ARMS);
}
public Action:ViewModelTest(client, args)
{
    if (!IsSurvivor(client))
    {
        return;
    }
    
    new ViewModelIndex = GetEntProp(client, Prop_Send, "m_hViewModel");
    new String:model[PLATFORM_MAX_PATH] = "";
    GetEntPropString(client, Prop_Data, "m_ModelName", model, sizeof(model));
    new String:message[PLATFORM_MAX_PATH] = "";
    Format(message, sizeof(message), "Your Current Model Index is : %i and your model is %s", ViewModelIndex, model);
    PrintToChat(client, message);
    
    if (IsValidEntity(ViewModelIndex))
    {
        DispatchKeyValue(ViewModelIndex, "CharacterViewmodelAddon", MODEL_NICK_ARMS);
    }
}
stock bool:IsSurvivor(client)
{
    if (client > 0 && client <= MaxClients && IsClientInGame(client) && GetClientTeam(client) == 2)
    {
        return true;
    }
    return false;
}
stock CheckModelPreCache(const String:Modelfile[])
{
    if (!IsModelPrecached(Modelfile))
    {
        PrecacheModel(Modelfile, true);
        PrintToServer("Precaching Model:%s", Modelfile);
    }
} 


However, For some reason, the viewmodel entity is reported as an invalid entity.

Any ideas as to why?

I'm looking for the plugin to change ViewModel, like using character as Nick and the Nick's fp arm change to rochelle,bill,ellis and others characters stuff.
