I suppose this is more of an SDK question but you guys might know the answer as well.

I'm trying to figure out which properties of the player entity I can change in Hammer, that will transmit properly at runtime.

For example, I know changing 'modelindex' works, as well as 'rendermode' and things like that. I attempted to modify 'm_flModelScale' but that did not work (while it did cause some glitchy animations to start happening so I guess something changed).

Is there a way I can check which player/entity properties are modifiable in Hammer like the two mentioned?

I asked about doing such things through Hammer.....

All you can do in hammer mis send inputs, so whatever the player entity has inputs for...
Setcustommodel, igniteplayer in tf2
alpha, color in most games...
Health .. Addhealth.. SEthealth.. I some games,, dump datamaps and chck what inputs the player has.

why don't you make map specific sourcemod plugins to do such custom feature?
@edit: or you could create a trigger_multiple with a name like "modelscalerxxx", hook the touchs of all modelscaler and set player's model scale based on the parameter xxx.

That's the good choice also
But would be quite diffrent if he wanted to do it for vanilla TF map without sourcemod

I use the trigger method on my custom maps, kr create them from coords from config files, but its somewhat convoluted for what he's trying to accomplish here (not use sm)

Hammer really isn't set up to manipulate player netprops directly. Which is why koth_lakeside_event needed wheel_of_doom as its own server class.

The TF2 Update today might be useful:

Added modelscale and SetModelScale input to Studiomodel so map authors can use them to scale models.

Coincidental URL id. Well, close enough.

Okay? So now you don't need to recompile models to get the desired size for your maps. It's mostly a convenience feature for map developers//people who don't know how to make models but want to make maps.
