What about a path_track image or even a prop_static one?

Amazing.
Now if only we could make some edits to how vertex editing and custom visgroups are handled...

This would be nice, too.
I thought about path_track, but I decided against it for reasons including it already being obvious. prop_static? Surely you jest!What about a path_track image or even a prop_static one?
I knew someone would say that. <_< http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v401/aboojumsnark/long/FGDipt.png
They already have little models showing you their origins.. which is the only bit that matters...
It's just for general scaling reference nothing exact, because in-game they're all shorter due to their animations, and they all have the exact same size bounding box for world collisions. I picked engy because he is one of the average sized characters, along with sniper, demo and pyro. Among those, I picked him cause engy is my favorite and when you're in Hammer you are 'engineering' your map.
If you really want a different one you can change it yourself, just look at the picture I posted a couple posts up.
and yeah, about the ropes. You really want to have the exact origin marker model so you can align them precisely.

I'm thinking of maybe taking a LOD model of one of the classes (probably the Sniper, Engineer, or Soldier as they're the most proportional) and making it all green and wireframey like Gordon. Any feedback?
I was going to do that myself whenever I got around to dabbling in modelling But if you want to do it go ahead. (I still say engy! <.<)

Meh, I'd prefer if you'd give it a shot instead. Surely extracting a static LOD model, slapping on a different texture, and exporting it couldn't be THAT hard.Then again, I'd probably die trying. The only modelling program I ever learned how to use was Blender.
If you do it but don't make it off of the Engineer, I will publicly endorse you with one chocolate chip cookie. I'm sure you'd want a new one, anyway, seeing how that one in your avatar has all them punches through it.

Oohh, yeah... I'll have to make one for that next version. Can't believe I forgot it, given how many things I've come up with that use it.
You can probably make use of the func_nobuild parenting for your BotG boat too. I thought of that when I was adding it in.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I HATE YOU
I JUST finished spending hours making custom entity icons, plus more entity options, with the intention to release to the community.
