Hi there, Facepunch!

I've been trying to figure out how to get the model of a vehicle from its entity name.

By entity name, I mean, for example, "sw_forklift_truck".

Help would be greatly appreciated!

Best Regards and thanks in advance!

you have your models in your addon folder in game.

Actually, this did not work, unfortunately.

Let me rephrase my above post.

I would like to get the model of a vehicle that is not yet spawned.
The vehicle is in the spawnmenu and it has not been spawned.

The only bit of data that I have is the vehicle's classname.

Here's what I tried:

for k,v in pairs(Cars) do
	if ents.FindByClass( v.CarClassName ) then
		-- run some code
	end
end

Here's how I did it.

I used the following code to get the corresponding model:

list.Get( "Vehicles" )[v.CarClassName].Model
