TF2 Weaponmodel Override

A custom attribute that lets you change a weapon's worldmodel and viewmodel; the arms model and its animations.

I didn't make any of these models you're seeing. Credits go to: the sentry pistol original creator, the wolverine claws original creator and VSH Rewrite for the merasmus wand and arms models

Information

Attributes explanation

Name	Class	Description
set weapon model	set_weapon_model	It changes both the viewmodel and worldmodel of the weapon to the specified model.

How to apply

You can apply these attributes via config with whatever plugin you're using ( if there is enough demand I can create one ).

Since this attribute acts like a TF2 attribute, you can utilize TF2Attribute's TF2Attrib_SetFromStringValue or any other native to set it. You can also retrieve the value with the given API.

Example:

1. "set weapon model" "models/weapons/custommodels/wolverine/c_machete.mdl" <-- It sets the weapon model to this
2. "set viewmodel arms" "models/weapons/custommodels/wolverine/c_sniper_arms.mdl" <--- It sets the arms ( including animations ) to this
3. "set viewmodel bonemerged arms" "models/weapons/c_models/c_pyro_arms.mdl"<-- It sets the visible arms model to this but it keeps the animations of set viewmodel arms ( or the original arms model if it's absent )

Known Issues

• You can't change the demoshield model.
• Mediguns and flamethrowers don't work properly.
  • Mediguns: The beam won't appear ( that's because it's client-side ). [ This can get fixed by making a beam ourselves and parenting it ]
  • Flamethrowers: The hands won't appear. [ This can get fixed by spawning the arms ourselves ]

Requirements

• Nosoop's Econ Dynamic ( It injects custom attributes to act like real ones )
