The viewmodel inherits the skin setting (and everything else except model, frame, and sequence) of the client's viewent, which is typically the player. If you can locally - on the client - change the players skin (and body, etc.) then the weapon should work how you want.

I have a compiled model with multiple skins already set up and i have done skin changes with player models before but it doesn't seem to work with the weapons for me. desert crisis did multiple submodels for each skin change. Am i not able to change the skin colour of a v_weaponmodel without making each skin colour change a submodel of the v_weaponmodel? Anyone got any ideas about this as to whether you can do it? maybe i am doing it wrong but i dunno. All that changes in the v_weaponmodel is the hands skins the weapon itself stays untouched but since the hands are compiled into the weapons its really part of the weapon so it should change :/ i dunno.. help anyone??? it'd be appreciated. _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
