SWEP ent model

[MrRalgoman]

I created a fire extinguisher swep using the swep construction kit. The only issue left is that the swep returns to the original model when dropped.. I've tried a few different things but none of it seems to be working. Any ideas?

if (SERVER) then
	util.AddNetworkString("rprint_setCSModel")

	function SWEP:OnDrop()
		self:SetModel("models/props/cs_office/fire_extinguisher.mdl")
		net.Start("rprint_setCSModel")
		net.WriteEntity(self)
		net.Send(player.GetAll())
	end
else
	net.Receive("rprint_setCSModel", function()
		local ent = net.ReadEntity()
		ent:SetModel("models/props/cs_office/fire_extinguisher.mdl")
	end)
end

The SWEP will automatically keep setting the model to the SWEP.WorldModel parameter when dropped. You can change this in the [img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img] [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/WEAPON/DrawWorldModel]SWEP:DrawWorldModel[/url] and [img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img] [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/WEAPON/DrawWorldModelTranslucent]SWEP:DrawWorldModelTranslucent[/url] hooks.

And setting it servaide should be good enough right? Or should I set it client and server side

[c👌de_g🎷]

You can't set it serverside -- those are clientside hooks. But your earlier code's networking was useless, anyway, since SetModel is networked internally.

The downside is that the physbox will still be of the old worldmodel. You might experiment setting it in a Think hook, as well, to see if that updates the physics.

if (CLIENT) then
	function SWEP:DrawWorldModel()
		self.WorldModel = "models/props/cs_office/fire_extinguisher.mdl"
	end

	function SWEP:DrawWorldModelTranslucent()
		self.WorldModel = "models/props/cs_office/fire_extinguisher.mdl"
	end
end

With this, it is still the original model..

[c👌de_g🎷]

You run SetModel. You should never have to change SWEP.WorldModel.

[MrRalgoman]

I meant to add that here as well, it didn't work either...

if (CLIENT) then
	function SWEP:DrawWorldModel()
		self:SetModel("models/props/cs_office/fire_extinguisher.mdl")
	end

	function SWEP:DrawWorldModelTranslucent()
		self:SetModel("models/props/cs_office/fire_extinguisher.mdl")
	end
end

You still have to call self:DrawModel() after like normal.

Still no luck :(

[MrRalgoman]

I've figured out a work around, I created an extinguisher ent with the model I want, in swep:OnDrop(). I call a function that spawns this entity and I have a OnEntCreated hook that checks if the last entity created was my extinguisher ent, if it was then I remove the current ent which is the entity created by swep:OnDrop (the old model). In the extinguisher ent on use I just give the player the extinguisher swep.

Anybody have any ideas of a better way to do this? Is this the best way?

I just tested with this code in single-player, then spawning the weapon with the toolgun:

SWEP.Spawnable = true

function SWEP:DrawWorldModel()
	self:SetModel("models/weapons/w_smg1.mdl")
	self:DrawModel()
end

Result:

Like I said, physbox is off since the model is still the prior one serverside, but it shows fine clientside.
