code below:

PHP Code:

int entity = CreateEntityByName("predicted_viewmodel");
if( entity < 1 || !IsValidEntity(entity) )
    return ;
SetEntPropEnt(entity, Prop_Send, "m_hOwner", client);
SetEntPropEnt(entity, Prop_Send, "m_hWeapon", weapon);
SetEntityModel(entity, RIOTSHIELD_V);
ActivateEntity(entity);
SetVariantString("!activator");
AcceptEntityInput(entity, "SetParent", targetentity);
SetVariantString("!activator");
AcceptEntityInput(entity, "SetAttached", targetentity);
DispatchSpawn(entity); 


by use cl_pdump to check entity, it still fix in (0.0.0) pos in the world and never follow the targetentity.
is the code got some mistake or just the predicted_viewmodel enttiy can't be attached to other entity?

thanks, but i don't need to change the model of weapon.
i need another predicted_viewmodel to follow player view to do other job.

Forget the weapons ,the code just shows how to setup <predicted_viewmodel> Entity correctly without missing any part , i thought that was ur problem ;)

I create the entity successfully but it doesn't attach to the entity i want. So i am not sure the attach code is worked.

the entity may not be attachable to another entity!
but i have noticed FollowEntity() in V-developer with predicted_viewmodel like :

PHP Code:

void CEntHost::CreateViewModel( int index )
{
    Assert( IsPlayer() );
    Assert( index >= 0 && index < MAX_VIEWMODELS );

    if ( !IsPlayer() )
        return;

    if ( GetPlayer()->GetViewModel( index ) )
        return;

    CPredictedViewModel *vm = (CPredictedViewModel *)CreateEntityByName( "predicted_viewmodel" );

    if ( vm ) {
        vm->SetAbsOrigin( GetAbsOrigin() );
        vm->SetOwner( GetPlayer() );
        vm->SetIndex( index );

        DispatchSpawn( vm );
        vm->FollowEntity( GetPlayer(), false ); //Your Problem Is Here 
        vm->AddEffects( EF_NODRAW );

        GetPlayer()->m_hViewModel.Set( index, vm );
    }
} 


So This may help :

Re: Entity Parenting detection Success Code for others: new childEntity = GetEntPropEnt(targetEntity, Prop_Data, "m_hMoveChild"); new parentEntity = GetEntPropEnt(targetEntity, Prop_Data, "m_hMoveParent"); if -1 means no entity found otherwise true

Re: Actually you can check if you successfully attached entity for some attachment PHP Code: bool AttachEntity( int entity, int owner, const char[] attachment = NULL_STRING ) {         SetVariantString("!activator");     AcceptEntityInput(entity, "SetParent", owner);          if (!IsNullString(attachment))     {         SetVariantString(attachment);         AcceptEntityInput(entity, "SetParentAttachMent", owner);                  if ( GetEntProp(entity, Prop_Data, "m_iParentAttachment") == 0 )         {             LogError("Failed to set attachment");             return false;         }     }     return true; }

You need to teleport your entity (use TeleportEntity), when parenting the entity will start moving from its origin relative to the player position and angles.
