As Jorge Says it's a little complicated as most of the code assumes that the weapon is in the right hand but it is possible.
Some pointers in the right direction are: GetViewModel() defaults to 0. Call CBaseViewModel *vm = pOwner->GetViewModel( 1 ); in the SetViewModel function of the weapon so that you add the new model to another ViewModel position in the list of view models. You can specify which model to call functions like SetWeaponVisible() and SendViewModelAnim() by making sure that SetViewModelIndex() has been set to the correct model (0 for right, 1 for left) Hope that helps David (PulledPin) Shaw www.hl2ctf.com On 16/03/2008, Cale Dunlap <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hello All, > > It's time for a stumper.... > > I've got a case where I need to have the player hold two weapons--each > weapon animating independently.
