I have seen alot of threads about this topic but none of them had the solution.
I got a v_ model, it contains multiple sub-models inside.
I want to choose wich sub-model will be shown.


This is the code to set viewmodel:

PHP Code:

set_pev(id, pev_viewmodel2, "models/server/testwep.mdl") 


It works correctly.


Now, how can i choose wich sub-model will be shown?
I know for body models i just need to do:

PHP Code:

set_pev(id, pev_body, *Number of SubModel*) 


How can i do the same for weapon v_ models?
I saw this code somewhere else

PHP Code:

    set_pev(id, pev_viewmodel2, "models/server/testwep.mdl")

    new yo[32]
    get_weaponname(CSW_KNIFE, yo, sizeof yo - 1)
    
    new weapon = fm_find_ent_by_owner(-1, yo, id)
    set_pev(weapon, pev_body, *Number of SubModel*) 


But it doesnt work.



Can somebody tell me a way to achieve this?
Thank you.

Without the model attached we can only guess. Maybe it is a "skin" part. So try pev_skin

Yes you do, it's cleary a submodel.

However, with models with many "submodel" groups I don't know if it'll work. Since I don't know which one is changing.

I first tryed pev_skin before going for sub-models method, it also didnt work.

You cant set it because of client prediction. v_ models are handled client-side, and no matter how many times you change the v_ submodel, it will always set it back to the first one. Submodels work fine on p_ and w_ models, but they dont work with v_ models.

Oh okey, thank you.

I don't know if this will work, but try this:
Hook UpdateClientData, see if the viewmodel is the custom one one you set.
If it is, then set a task for about 0.5 seconds or more to send an SVC_WEAPONANIM MSG
to the client (You have to delay this for the Update MSG to be sent to the client first).
Set the weapon animation and bodygroup as needed.

stock SendWeaponAnim( id, iAnim, iBody )
{
    if ( !is_valid_player(id) || is_user_bot( id ) ) return 0; // check player validity first with some function (Humans only)
    set_pev( id, pev_weaponanim, iAnim );

    message_begin( MSG_ONE, SVC_WEAPONANIM, _, id );
    write_byte( iAnim );  // sequence number.
    write_byte( iBody );  // weaponmodel bodygroup.
    message_end();

    return 1;
}

First of all thank you for helping me!

see if the viewmodel is the custom one one you set.

How can i check if the viewmodel is the one i set?

to send an SVC_WEAPONANIM MSG to the client

Like this?

PHP Code:

message_begin(MSG_ONE, SVC_WEAPONANIM, {0, 0, 0}, player)
write_byte(iAnim)
write_byte(iHands) // id of hands
message_end() 


Set the weapon animation and bodygroup as needed.

Where?


Btw user Backstabnoob said it will look bad... (https://forums.alliedmods.net/showpo...0&postcount=25)

I guess i should forget this and just make seperated model files.
Too much work and it will not look good.

I know one way, but it's poor way, cpu expensive, and will not look 100% fine. Sometimes it will show the first body of list since it will be frame per frame

I've seen the solution in backweapons plugin.
you need to use pev_body (int) to change the submodel
