I want to make a model where players are able to pick up and place it somewhere in the map so that it can open a door or drawer. How would I be able to accomplish this?

convert hud icon you want put this name for it
pick_up_icon
must be that name
change number here to put on hud where you want
(WEAPINFO_X -20) (WEAPINFO_Y +15) the -20 & +15
the 40 40 is the size of the icon

now in your mapname.gsc

fill in you stuff here in the gsc you just made look for this stuff that i put edit only this stuff
stuff needs your input

Spoiler: click to open...

self setClientDvar("cus_text", "you text b4 pickup"); // what to say

self setClientDvar("cus_text", "you text b4 putdown"); // what to say

level.pickup = GetEnt( "you set it", "targetname" ); // model targetname to pick up must be model

level.putdown = GetEnt( "you set it", "targetname" ); // model targetname to put down must be model

place models where you want the pick up one and put down model where its going to be put with different targetname

no use triggers
my script dont need them
check new files off and add new icon to mod csv all dun

and if you did it right you have a new hint string setup you can use any time
with this
self setClientDvar("show_cus_text", "1"); // show cus hint string == 1 hid it with 0 // self setClientDvar("show_cus_text", "0");
self setClientDvar("cus_text", "you text here can have collor"); // what t0 say

the will hid the putdown model on game start and show it after you pick up pickup model and take it to where its going hud icon will show when you pick up the pickup model and hid after put down

you can add something in above this to make door open or what ever

self setClientDvar("show_hud_icon", "0"); // hud icon set to hise == 0
