Random skin groups?

[Henry Townshend]

Is there a line to make a model spawn with a random skin group every time it's spawned?

[c-unit]

table.Random.

[Kaleb]

Example:
[lua]MaleModels = {
"models/player/Group01/male_01.mdl",
"models/player/Group01/male_02.mdl",
"models/player/Group01/male_03.mdl",
"models/player/Group01/male_04.mdl",
"models/player/Group01/male_05.mdl",
"models/player/Group01/male_06.mdl",
"models/player/Group01/male_07.mdl",
"models/player/Group01/male_08.mdl",
"models/player/Group01/male_09.mdl"
}

ply:SetModel( MaleModels[math.random(1,#MaleModels)] )[/lua]

[c-unit]

or...

[lua]MaleModels = {
"models/player/Group01/male_01.mdl",
"models/player/Group01/male_02.mdl",
"models/player/Group01/male_03.mdl",
"models/player/Group01/male_04.mdl",
"models/player/Group01/male_05.mdl",
"models/player/Group01/male_06.mdl",
"models/player/Group01/male_07.mdl",
"models/player/Group01/male_08.mdl",
"models/player/Group01/male_09.mdl"
}
ply:SetModel(table.Random(MaleModels))[/lua]

That's actual models though, if he wants multiple skins on a model, you could use Keyvalues + the skin value, though I don't know if there's a way to get the highest number of skins on a model. (Anything over the highest reverts back to the default)

[_Undefined]

You can get the number of skins clientside with NumModelSkins(mdl), but it's called from the engine on the client, so I aren't sure how you'd get it on the server.

Here's a snippet though if anyone figures out how to get the NumModelSkins function working serverside.

[lua]
hook.Add("PlayerSpawnedProp", "RandomSkin", function(ply, mdl, ent)
local iSkins = NumModelSkins(mdl)
if iSkins > 0 then
ent:SetSkin(math.random(0, iSkins))
end
end)
[/lua]
