I am creating a custom game mode, to increase immersion of course I require to have a a specific player model set to all the characters. Unfortunately I am still quite new to scripting with LUA and do not know how to set this. I have tried searching around on the forum but nothing that realy helps comes up.
What I need to know.
1. What code should I use to set a player model.
2. In what file (init.lua/shared.lua/player.lua/whatever.lua)
3. Is using a custom player model like using a custom weapon? DO you just put the files you need into the conent foler?
Thanks!
EDIT:
Alright I have a custom model working for it but unfortunately when I die and then shoot my dead corpse sudenly the ragdoll goes into slow motion and splits into 6 more ragdolls. So then there are 6 slowmo ragdolls lying there. Anyone know why?

Works on players as players are derived from entities.
Alright, that answers number one. And i thank you for the quick help but what .lua file should i set this in? Also, how would I find out the exact name of a model.
It's a serverside functions, so place it in the init.lua file. You can find the models with the modelviewer in source sdk, and i think you can use GCFScape too.
edit: Here's the table i use for the models for my gamemode. The models are sorted into different tables. You can merge the tables together. I just have them seperated due to the way the player pick a model.
[lua]

Playermodels[1] = {}

Alright, im still a bit confused, as I said im still quite new to LUA.
I probly screwed up the code a bunch but...
Entity.SetModel( "models/humans/Group03/male_02.mdl" )
Thats what I had. In this whole init
Entity.SetModel( "models/humans/Group03/male_02.mdl" )
function GM:PlayerSpawn( ply )
self.BaseClass:PlayerSpawn( ply )
ply:SetGravity( 1, 900 )
ply:SetMaxHealth( 75, true )
ply:SetWalkSpeed( 165 )
ply:SetRunSpeed( 355 )
end
function GM:PlayerLoadout( ply )
ply:StripWeapons()
ply:Give( "kermite_pist_m23" )
if ply:IsAdmin() then
ply:Give()
end
end
function GM:PlayerInitialSpawn( ply )
self.BaseClass:PlayerInitialSpawn( ply )
if ply:IsAdmin() then
ply:PrintMessage( HUD_PRINTTALK, "Call of Gmod welcomes you admin!")
end
end
This should work:
[lua]
function GM:PlayerSpawn( ply )
self.BaseClass:PlayerSpawn( ply )
ply:SetGravity( 1, 900 )
ply:SetMaxHealth( 75, true )
ply:SetWalkSpeed( 165 )
ply:SetRunSpeed( 355 )
ply:SetModel( "models/humans/Group03/male_02.mdl" )
end
function GM:PlayerLoadout(ply)
ply:StripWeapons()
ply:Give( "kermite_pist_m23" )
end
function GM:PlayerInitialSpawn(ply)
self.BaseClass:PlayerInitialSpawn( ply )
if ply:IsAdmin() then
ply:PrintMessage( HUD_PRINTTALK, "Call of Gmod welcomes you admin!")
end
end
[/lua]

Thank you so much, that worked.
