Can't see my v_model in game

[thegammaghost]

Hello, I put a sword model that i made in place of the HL2 crowbar, It appears in HLMV, but not in Garrys mod, It just appears as if my weapon and hands are invisible. I have fixed this with static models by deleting the LOD's text in the .qc, Thing is this one doesn't have any LOD's, Can anyone help me out with this? Here's The .QC and a pic of it working in HLMV.

Anyone have an idea what im doing wrong here? thanks!

Bump

Any ideas????

For the sequences, you need to add in the rotate command. Here's an example:
Your idle sequence as it is now

$sequence idle01 "idle01" loop ACT_VM_IDLE 1 fps 30.00

Your idle sequence as it should show

$sequence idle01 "idle01" loop ACT_VM_IDLE 1 rotate -90 fps 30.00

After applying the rotate command into your sequences, you should be able to compile it and have it show in-game just fine.

It worked! thanks a lot Katra804, really apprecaite it, I can now see the blade.

Is there any way i can make the model appear a bit higher? i cant even see my hands or the handle at this point.

Thanks again!

You want to use $origin, tweak it to a vector of your liking

[thegammaghost]

Alright, How would i add it, could you give an example maybe?

like this?
$origin 0 0 2 to raise it up ( xyz, z is up and down )

ill mess around with it a bit, and report back.
