Save custom player model and retrieve

I have a mod which set the player's model to custom models if you select that in the menu

An example from the ui_mp/objects1.menu

PHP Code:

---

execKey "a" { play "mouse_click"; scriptMenuResponse "xmodel/brush_desertshrubgroup01"; close objects1 }

itemDef 
        {
            name            "button_a"
            visible            1
            rect            0 0 128 20
            origin            ORIGIN_CHOICEA
            forecolor        GLOBAL_UNFOCUSED_COLOR
            type            ITEM_TYPE_BUTTON
            text            "@OBJ_OBJ1_1"
            textfont        UI_FONT_NORMAL
            textscale        .3
            textstyle        ITEM_TEXTSTYLE_SHADOWED
            textaligny        20
            action
            {
                play "mouse_click";
                scriptMenuResponse "xmodel/brush_desertshrubgroup01";
                close objects1
            }
        }

This is set a custom player model on mouse click or button_a, if I'm right.

Now I want to make this model to invisible I found a script which was made by IzNoGoD:

PHP Code:

---

makeInvisible(arg)
{
    if(!isdefined(self.isInv)) self.isInv= false;
    
    if((arg) && (!self.isInv))
    {
        self detachall();
        self setmodel("");
        self.isInv= true;
    }
    else
    {
        if(!isdefined(self.pers["savedmodel"]))
            maps\mp\gametypes\_teams::model();
        else
            maps\mp\_utility::loadModel(self.pers["savedmodel"]);
        self.isInv= false;
    }
} 


---

Okay, this is make the model to invisible if I'm calling makeInvisible(true); but after that I can't set the model back which was before... (xmodel/brush_desertshrubgroup01) I'm always getting back the default allies model

I see in the maps\mp\_utility.gsc have 2 functions which save and load model but how can I save these models like that if the script changing the custom models in a menu file?

PHP Code:

---

saveModel()
{
    info["model"] = self.model;
    info["viewmodel"] = self getViewModel();
    attachSize = self getAttachSize();
    info["attach"] = [];
    
    for(i = 0; i < attachSize; i++)
    {
        info["attach"][i]["model"] = self getAttachModelName(i);
        info["attach"][i]["tag"] = self getAttachTagName(i);
        info["attach"][i]["ignoreCollision"] = self getAttachIgnoreCollision(i);
    }
    
    return info;
}

loadModel(info)
{
    self detachAll();
    self setModel(info["model"]);
    self setViewModel(info["viewmodel"]);

    attachInfo = info["attach"];
    attachSize = attachInfo.size;
    
    for(i = 0; i < attachSize; i++)
        self attach(attachInfo[i]["model"], attachInfo[i]["tag"], attachInfo[i]["ignoreCollision"]);
}

Do you savemodel after you setmodel at spawn?

I don't set the model at spawn as I said this script is setting the model when I click on a button in the menu... a .menu file handling the setmodel or I'm wrong?

PHP Code:

---

execKey "a" { play "mouse_click"; scriptMenuResponse "xmodel/brush_desertshrubgroup01"; close objects1 }

itemDef 
        {
            name            "button_a"
            visible            1
            rect            0 0 128 20
            origin            ORIGIN_CHOICEA
            forecolor        GLOBAL_UNFOCUSED_COLOR
            type            ITEM_TYPE_BUTTON
            text            "@OBJ_OBJ1_1"
            textfont        UI_FONT_NORMAL
            textscale        .3
            textstyle        ITEM_TEXTSTYLE_SHADOWED
            textaligny        20
            action
            {
                play "mouse_click";
                scriptMenuResponse "xmodel/brush_desertshrubgroup01";
                close objects1
            }
        }

1. try search code from .gsc like:

PHP Code:

---

    /* ... */
    
    self waittill("menuresponse", menu, response);
    
    if (menu == "objects1")
        self setmodel(response);
    
    /* ... */ 


---

2. try

PHP Code:

---

makeInvisible(arg)
{
    if(!isdefined(self.isInv)) self.isInv= false;
    
    if((arg) && (!self.isInv))
    {
        //save model before invi
        self maps\mp\_utility::saveModel();
        
        self detachall();
        self setmodel("");
        self.isInv = true;
    }
    else
    {
        if(!isdefined(self.pers["savedmodel"]))
            maps\mp\gametypes\_teams::model();
        else
            maps\mp\_utility::loadModel(self.pers["savedmodel"]);
        self.isInv= false;
    }
}
