How to make the body of a player visible

[Dante1]

I'm working on a HL2 SP Mod, and I need to know if there is any way to make the body (feet, legs etc.) of a player visible in the game.

Any links or help would be appreciated. Is it related to modeling, coding or a mixture of both?

i dont think so. having no legs is part of the magic of source.

still i dont know for sure. keep waiting

It's possible in L4D, so yes it's possible on the source engine.

I guess you put a camera on the head area of a ragdoll, then turn it into a player character.

I dunno, I'm pulling it all out of my ass.

I'm not exactly sure also but I think one possiblility is that there is a world model of the body placed where the camera is. Like when you are playing online your world model is shown to everyone else but not rendered for yourself and if you do that then I would assume that you would be able to see yourself. Could be wrong (probably are) but it's my best guess

why would you want to? its a waste of time, and people hardly ever look at the ground in a game.
