How to Assign Viewhands Models for Each Player in Scripting

Guide to assigning hand models for specific characters

Instructions

Step 1: Navigate to your raw/maps/ folder and copy _loadout.gsc into your mods/your_mod/maps folder
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 2: Open _loadout.gsc and locate the following

_loadout.gsc

cpp

else if( GetDvar( "zombiemode" ) == "1" || IsSubStr( level.script, "nazi_zombie_" ) || level.script == "zombie_test_map" ) // CODER_MOD (Austin 5/4/08): zombiemode loadout setup
{
    add_weapon( "zombie_colt" );
    PrecacheItem( "napalmblob" );
    PrecacheItem( "napalmbloblight" );
    set_switch_weapon( "zombie_colt" );
    
    set_laststand_pistol( "zombie_colt" );
    
    set_player_viewmodel( "viewmodel_usa_marine_arms");
    set_player_interactive_hands( "viewmodel_usa_marine_player");
    
    level.campaign = "american";
    return;
}

_loadout.gsc

cpp

set_player_viewmodel( "viewmodel_usa_marine_arms");

// Example
// set_player_viewmodel( "viewmodel_usa_marine_arms");

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 4: Question: Which characters are you currently using? Are they custom or stock?
If you're using the stock Der Riese characters, it should look like this. We won’t modify it instead, we’ll locate it

_loadout.gsc

cpp

switch( self.entity_num)
{
case 0:
    character\char_zomb_player_0::main(); // This is Dempsey
    break;
case 1:
    character\char_zomb_player_1::main(); // This is Nikolai
    break;
case 2:
    character\char_zomb_player_2::main(); // This is Takeo
    break;
case 3:
    character\char_zomb_player_3::main(); // This is Richtofen
    break;
}

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 5: Navigate to your raw/character folder, then copy and paste all files into your mods/your_mod/character folder

Step 8: Once you're finished, open your launcher when you're ready to build your_mod. Check the boxes for both char_zomb_player_.gsc and _loadout.gsc files. Then add these lines to your mod.csv
