ValveBiped.muzzle

[MrRocketShooZ]

Hey everyone this is my first post, sorry if this has been asked before, I searched and coudln't find anything.

I've been trying to compile a weapon model as a viewmodel. Since I'd just made a gun, I merged the "v_hands" (or similarly named) model with my pistol. When I go to compile my model, it gives me an error saying:

ERROR: unknown attachment link 'ValveBiped.muzzle'

It then aborts. I'm assuming that since I used the v_hands model, this is why it wasn't present. How do I add this in?

Thanks.

post your .qc

Im just trying to replace the in game pistol model for hl2 atm, so I used its qc file. Don't think I changed anything. Here it is:

It's looking for a bone in your model named ValveBiped.muzzle.
This should be a bone at the end of your gun where the muzzle is.

Cool thanks, does the bone have to be attached to anything, or can I just make a new bone and name it ValveBiped.muzzle?

You just need the bone. The .qc creates an attachment at the location of the bone. The code then uses this attachment to
determine where to put muzzle flashes.

Cheers I'll give that a go later on. :thumbs:
