I want to create an another 'monster_human_grunt' entity in the fgd named 'monster_human_a' .how can I do that ?! :(

I'm gonna place my own model in the models file- 'ha.mdl' (not prb :nuts: )

Why? Just turn off QuickEdit and tap it in. You do realise that FGDs are only for mappers' convenience, and do not affect the actual game, right?

The problem with it is the game isn't going to recognize it. When it sees a monster_human_grunt entity, it loads the code for the grunt and adds one to the map. Since this is a new entity, though, it needs new code, respectively. Not sure how to do it or anything, just kind of explaining the basics. You should be able to set a custom model on a grunt or something, though?

If your new grunt is like the original grunt, you can simply base your grunt off the original grunt. This article could be very helpfull: http://collective.valve-erc.com/index.php?doc=1037152293-25623400

Note that you need a C++ compiler and developer environment like Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0. Or you can try the free Borland C++ compiler.

If you wish, i can TRY to code your new grunt, and give you the dll.

Is it just halflife or is it a mod?
In svencoop you can just choose a custom model in the propertys i think its possible in spirit too.
I dunno anything about coding :P so i cant help you with that.

Ok here is the situtation you know the original hgrunt right?
I'm not gonna change the hgrunt.mdl.
I want to make the same hgrunt with just a different model with an AI

Ok, and do you have that different grunt model?
Posted 19 years ago2005-04-21 11:58:56 UTC Post #105131
yes

Ok. And it is a exact replica of the original grunt, only with a different skin?

I can do this, however, you will need to code the dll. To add the new grunts... If you just edit the fgd file then yes, you will get them in the etities dropdown box, however when the entity is placed in the game it will not appear..

You see I did this with the oposing Force grunts and added there sequences and everything (because I have the latest Hammer {3.5})
but when placed in the map there was nothing because the dll is not edited with the new grunts. This task is very easy to handle, Just get a decompiled dll (sdk source) and copy the hgrunt files but rename them to swat, and edit the cpp and h files (etc) So that there is no "hgrunt.mdl" in it, instead "swat.mdl" Then compile it. and then edit the fgd file.

I would be happy to do this for you, however, I don't have anything to compile the dlls and stuff, thats why I am loking for help as well trying to get someone to add to the dll and compile.. but no luck.

I would be happy to do this for you
that would be good...find those compile dll programs because I'm working on my mod's map details...

and this swat grunt is gonna be friendly but I heard that making guys friendly or not was easy to handle :

It is fairly easy, although I don't have any compile programs, nor was able to find one that worked. I tried alot of programs, but non I could get to compile correctly. So I'd suggest the Microsoft C++ but it must be purchased, which I never came up with the money of doing so yet...
Awaiting Summer Job.. :P
