am I doing something wrong, or does pev_skin not even work with view models?
this is the test plugin I was using:

PHP Code:

#include <amxmodx>
#include <amxmisc>
#include <cstrike>
#include <fakemeta>

new const model[] = "models/custom_v_m4a1.mdl"//models directory and name.

new user_skin[MAX_PLAYERS+1]

new const skin_names[][] = {
    "skin 1",
    "skin 2",
    "skin 3",
    "skin 4",
    "skin 5",
    "skin 6"
}

public plugin_init() {
    register_event( "CurWeapon","Event_CurWeapon","be", "1=1" )
    register_clcmd("say /skin", "skin_menu")
}
public plugin_precache() {
    precache_model(model)
}
public skin_menu(id) {
    new menu_name[] = "choose skin:"
    new mid = menu_create(menu_name, "skin_menu_handler")

    for(new i; i<sizeof(skin_names); i++) {
        menu_additem(mid, skin_names[i], "")
    }

    menu_setprop(mid, MPROP_EXIT, MEXIT_ALL)
    menu_display(id, mid)
}
public skin_menu_handler(id, mid, item) {
    if(item == MENU_EXIT) {
        menu_destroy(mid)
        return PLUGIN_HANDLED
    }
    
    user_skin[id] = item
    if(is_user_alive(id)) {
        new wpn = cs_get_user_weapon_entity(id)
        set_pev(wpn, pev_skin, item)
    }
    menu_destroy(mid)
    Event_CurWeapon(id)
    skin_menu(id)
    return PLUGIN_HANDLED
}
public Event_CurWeapon(id) {
    if(is_user_alive(id) && get_user_weapon(id) == CSW_M4A1) {
        
        set_pev(id, pev_viewmodel2, model)
        client_print(id, print_chat, "%i", user_skin[id])
        new wpn = cs_get_user_weapon_entity(id)
        set_pev(wpn, pev_skin, user_skin[id])
    }
} 


model itself: model

it doesn't. you can only change sub-model but that's complicated too.

why don't u use pev_viewmodel2?

Likely because there is a precache limit and it's quite easy to hit.

it can sub-model be done, but it's takes A LOT of work.
4 months work - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVnjP2YTczQ

Let's be honest. Knives submodels are tremendously easier that doing submodels for the other weapons(because client only predicts in deploy - which can be seen in your video too, that little snap). I did it before in a few hours.
Submodels for guns are more complicated but it's still not nearly 4 months of work.

Yes, Knives/AWP/Scout/Grenades and C4 submodels are tremendously easier. I'm use submodels nearly 5 months (my video old, it's better now). I had in mind not only Knives 4 months of work. I have no complaints from the players. it can sub-model be done for the other weapons, but it's takes a lot of work. I'm testing other weapons submodels over time. sorry for my engish.
