Adding Models Created 20 years ago2004-07-31 16:43:24 UTC by rat808

i try and try and try to insert a car model into cs using cycler_sprite like i was told but it doesnt work! can any of you test it out and see what i have to do to get a model into hammer for cs.. [P.S. it would kick ass if you could tell me the steps and what you did.]

thanks again

Try using a cycler instead?

I've did some searching and it seems cycler_sprite, cycler, monster_furniture and env_sprite can all be used to display a model in your map. Not all of them seem to behave always correct, so it's best to try them all.

There is no cycler in CS. You have to use cycler_sprite. To do it, enter the following into the "Sprite name" field of the cycler_sprite (I'll call the car model "car.mdl" jn this example):

models/car.mdl

Make sure car.mdl is in the cstrike/models folder.

Even though there is no cycler in the cs.fgd, it is supported by the game code. A cycler_sprite works better and easier however, as it does appear in the .fgd and is therefor easier to work with, and it does not have a 'clip' box in the game, e.g. it's fully passable.

i get the same thing it says
"Mod_NumForName : C:/blahblah/counter - not found"
and the model i want is in the model folder.

k i got it to work but how do u make the model a solid figure (cant walk through it) anyone?

Clipbrush...

Wich means, create a brush (or several brushes) in the shape of the model and cover them with the 'clip' texture. Then they'll be invisible and they'll block your movement.

a the model doesnt show iin the editor its just a little box

You need the Hammre 3.5 beta version for models to show in-editor.

http://collective.valve-erc.com/index.php?go=hammer

has a download and instructions to enable model support.

i just dont get how to set up the .fgd file because i tried to add them and it didnt work as said.

Download their updated HL FGD and use only the cycler_sprite from there.

Make sure youve unpacked all the models to the modmodels directory.

ok i got it to work in hammer, but it says it cant find the model "Mod_NumForName : models/car021.mdl" and i put it in there.
