Models in Counter-strike maps? Created 19 years ago2004-06-18 17:39:52 UTC by RabidMonkey

Okay, I've got a CS map and I want to put this car model I have in there for detailing. Just this nice car over at the gas station. Is there a way? I can't seem to find a way to do it.

download hammer 3.5 (verc) and get the fgd that comes with it (otherwise hammer will crash if you try and create the entity required).

place the model in counter strike/cstrike/models.
create a cycler and browse to your model in it's properties. select/highlight the model pathname and copy/paste it into the sprite line of a cycler_sprite

you can now see the model. you will need to clip certain models, but that's simple.

any probs?

ie:
you first create the cycler in order to see where to put the model. (which is why you d/l hammer 3.5 )
then you change the cycler entity into a cycler_sprite (through properties menu) and paste the model's path name into the cycler_sprite. which renders the model in-game.

Ok, so I just use a model in the field of a cycler_sprite?

yes. the cycler simply helps you to position it correctly in a 3d real time image in your map.

Ah, I see. Thank you.

not a problem. good luck, any q's just ask
