its your choice!

Trembling with fear of decompile threats I give the answer:

Use env_sprite instead.

Hammer users need a fixed .fgd file to prevent the editor from crashing in an attempt to display the model as a sprite, but otherwise it works fine.
And, as QuArK shows me, is how it's done in NS_hera.

Yep, here's how to do it:

Open your FGD in Notepad (or any other text editor of your choice), search for "env_sprite", you should see a line that looks something like this:

<!--c1--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>CODE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='CODE'><!--ec1-->@PointClass sprite() base(Targetname, RenderFields) size(-4 -4 -4, 4 4 4) = env_sprite : "Sprite Effect"<!--c2--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--ec2-->

Remove the sprite() part, so it looks like this:

<!--c1--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>CODE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='CODE'><!--ec1-->@PointClass base(Targetname, RenderFields) size(-4 -4 -4, 4 4 4) = env_sprite : "Sprite Effect"<!--c2--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--ec2-->

Of course, you won't be able to see the sprite or model in the 3D view anymore.

I think you might have to change another line as well but I'm not sure.
