void CBarney :: Precache()
{
PRECACHE_MODEL("models/barney.mdl");
PRECACHE_SOUND("barney/ba_attack1.wav" );
PRECACHE_SOUND("barney/ba_attack2.wav" );
PRECACHE_SOUND("barney/ba_pain1.wav");
PRECACHE_SOUND("barney/ba_pain2.wav");
PRECACHE_SOUND("barney/ba_pain3.wav");
PRECACHE_SOUND("barney/ba_die1.wav");
PRECACHE_SOUND("barney/ba_die2.wav");
PRECACHE_SOUND("barney/ba_die3.wav");
// every new barney must call this, otherwise
// when a level is loaded, nobody will talk (time is reset to 0)
TalkInit();
CTalkMonster::Precache();
}
...the Spawn() function calls Precache(), then it sets the model...
Code:
void CBarney :: Spawn()
{
Precache( );
SET_MODEL(ENT(pev), "models/barney.mdl");
UTIL_SetSize(pev, VEC_HUMAN_HULL_MIN, VEC_HUMAN_HULL_MAX);
...what your code should be doing is CHANGING that model AFTER the Spawn() function returns back to the engine.
Is that what you are doing?
(edit: stupid smilies)

I have tried to change the model after the Spawn() function and what I get is the regular Barney on the ground and the new model floating above. The new model is like monster_furniture (not killable) and if the default Barney is killed, he will come back with the default model.
