Im almost done with my Omaha beach map, but all the vehicle models are of the default sportscar... how do I fix this? I don't need to models to move I just need some higgens, jeeps and destroyed shermans to use as cover...

Use models with _static at the end.

Well...I know that is one option...but destroyed shermans and higgens boats and several undestroyed jeeps don't have _static. Is there any way to get models without _static?

One way would be to make real vehicles and destroy them via script.

vehicles = maps\_vehicle::scripted_spawn(4);
for(i=0; i<vehicles.size; i++)
    vehicles[i] notify("death");

Other way is to put vehicles as script_models in radiant, make collision brush around them, give it some KVP, for example "script_noteworthy" "higgins" and set model via script:

#include maps\_utility;

main()
{
    maps\_load::main();
    precachemodel("xmodel/vehicle_higgins");
    higgins = getentarray("higgins", "script_noteworthy");
    for(i=0; i<higgins.size; i++)
        higgins[i] setModel("xmodel/vehicle_higgins");
}

Thanks! just one thing. what is a collision brush? and what is KVP?

Collision brush- invisible brushes that dont allow player go through. Use tool textures, playerclip or something.
KVP- key value pair. Select script_model, press N and then add the values you want.

Much thanks!

About these clip textures- clip_player dont let player go through
clip_ai dont let AI go through.

I know. Thanks.
