Nick:
Ryan got it basically. I used SetModel. I made a brush in the map and
tied it to an entity with some name I knew ("dummy_panel" in my case)
and then I just did a gEntList.FindEntityByName to find the panel,
used its GetModelName to get the modelname and then used SetModel on
the new panel I created using CreateEntityByName.Garry: What do bone matrices do if its just a simple brush entity? Its a 128x128x16 box. Tom L: memcpy sounds scary, but hell I'll try it. I dunno if the CBaseTrigger object stores models as pointers or the actual structure...
