Hey guys,

it seems that in HL2DM I am not able to change the model of a weapon I just spawned. I've tried it with this code:

Syntax: Select all

from players.entity import Player
from events import Event
from engines.precache import Model
from entities.entity import Entity


@Event('player_say')
def say(ev):
    player = Player.from_userid(ev['userid'])
    ent = Entity.create("weapon_crossbow")
    ent.model = Model("models/crow.mdl")
    ent.origin = player.view_coordinates
    ent.spawn()

I also tried to first spawn it and then set the model which had the same result.

I'd be happy about any ideas :)

If I remember right, you cannot set the model prior the weapon being physically spawned (the engine lookup the model from the scripts) and that changing m_szModelName/m_nModelIndex (properties wrapped by Entity.model) won't affect its rendering once spawned. I think the following should works:

Syntax: Select all

ent.spawn()
ent.set_property_int('m_iWorldModelIndex', Model('models/crow.mdl').index)
