Model in Map

[JayTheSheep]

Hi guys,
ive downloaded a model from garrysmod.org.
Now i want to make a scripted sequence with the model.
How can i do this? Because i only know, that i can make these sequences with "npc_x" ?
I tried prop_ragdoll and prop_dynamic, but on both i can't make something like "wave"

Try making a little more sense, what model did you download?

How can i make a new NPC/change the model of a NPC.
I've tried to open the npc_gman in VS++ and change the model directroy.
I compiled it but it isnt working :(

You still didn't elaborate as to what you're actually doing, what model did you download, was it a ragdoll, did it have animations or are you importing this model over the bones of another model and then re-compiling it?

[JayTheSheep]

It was just a model from garrysmod.org, a ragdoll.
It have animations and now i want to make a NPC with this "ragdoll", which can move or apply an animation

better to make a whole new NPC, that way you kill two birds with one stone, learning Lua and getting what you want.

[JayTheSheep]

Is there any Tutorial to make a new NPC? :>

There's this website, see?

We're not going to hold your hand the whole time you're here.

[JayTheSheep]

Oh guy, I already googled it, but i cant find anything.
Is this way possibile?
Change the model directory from npc_gman and compile it?

[Sphinxa279]

if the model you downloaded has the same animations as the npc_gman you can just place it in gman's relative paths.
