darkrp force model

[dpoolas]

is there a way to force a custom model on a player. What i want to do is give my friend a custom skin without giving him a whole class i know this is most likely a simple if statement

I don't remember where, but put this somewhere(appreciated if someone remembers where)

[lua]if( ply:SteamID() == "friends steamid" ) then
ply:SetModel( "modelpath" )
end[/lua]

If anyone could help him out more, I'd appreciate it.

i dont even know why i made this post

[cheiftiger]

[lua]
hook.Add( "PlayerSetModel", "FriendsModel", function( pl )
if pl:SteamID() == "Your friends steam ID here." then
pl:SetModel( "model/path/to/model.mdl" )
end
end )
[/lua]

I don't know if DarkRP calls the PlayerSetModel hook in it, but if it does then that should work.

What i did was i put this code if not pl:SteamID() == "steamidhere" then
if CfgVars["enforceplayermodel"] == 1 then
for k,v in pairs(RPExtraTeams) do
if ply:Team() == k then
if type(v.model) == "table" then
local ChosenModel = ply.rpChosenModel or ply:GetInfo("rp_playermodel")
ChosenModel = string.lower(ChosenModel)

local found
for _,Models in pairs(v.model) do
if ChosenModel == string.lower(Models) then
EndModel = Models
found = true
break
end
end

if not found then
EndModel = v.model[math.random(#v.model)]
end
else
EndModel = v.model
end
break
end
end

but whenever anyone else spawns put that player they are some weird stick figure thing what do i have to do

If you add that hook, go find GM:PlayerSpawn() and make sure it is calling GM:PlayerSetModel(), if it's not add:

[lua]
hook.Add("PlayerSpawn","CallingSetModel",function(ply)
GAMEMODE:PlayerSetModel(ply)
end)
[/lua]

[Busymonkey]

function PlayerSpawn(ply)
if  ply:SteamID == ("SteamID Here") then 

ply:SetModel ("models/name.mdl")
end
end

Wouldnt this work?

ill try what you said i just thought my big problem was that the cfgvar didnt let anyone when the value was one. I don't want everyone changing their model as then rp will be totally messed up with people being gangsters but appearing as a swat officer
