Adding Models

Wolfenstein · December 2003

<div class="IPBDescription">Having problems with the enities</div> Alright, I've heard that you can add models to the NS maps, which I have seen in ns_origin now. I also heard that env_sprite can take in models, but I'm not sure what I need to do to it to force it to take in models without it crashing.

As an idiot I am, I just give the path of the model to the sprit valve and when I hit the close bottun on the properities box it crashes.

- Being a programmer I looked at the code and saw the difference between a sprite code, and a model code.

This is my second time comin' back, and as before, gave you the information I hope that you'll need to figure out what I am doing wrong. I am fully open to any ideas.

- I am also not sure if its just my computer or what not.

Try using cycler_weapon and remember to clip properly the model, if you're using Hammer 3.5 this shouldn't be a difficult task at all <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

I thought you used 'cycler'.

If I use cycler you can't walk through it, and you can hit your use key on it to reset. Which is two things I don't want. cycler_weapon the RR people can pick it up, but when a player from a team picks it up, crash. I don't want to pick it up, and I want to be able to walk through it. Somehow env_sprite is used to do this, but I'm still not sure how.

- I looked at ns_origin, its there; but I was using Quark, and I don't know how to use that program very well so I had a hard time even finding the model itself in the map (navigating isn't easy)

Edit: I just went through and looked at the enity code for ns_origin

{
"origin" "-2681 133 -144"
"model" "models/holo_base.mdl"
"framerate" "10.0"
"rendercolor" "0 0 0"
"spawnflags" "1"
"classname" "env_sprite"
}

- one of the mdl files being used by env_sprite

The one I'm more intrested is:

{
"origin" "-2552 1689 -240"
"framerate" "1"
"model" "models/ns_origin/plant_shroomtree2.mdl"
"rendercolor" "0 0 0"
"spawnflags" "1"
"classname" "env_sprite"
}

I look at it as a programmer and I think I see it, but I still need just a little help making sure I'm doing the right thing.
