Unwanted duplicate headcrab

[kgkraeer]

Hey everyone. I made a custom zombie, with a new head attachment. The model is a robot with a head that you should be able to shoot off just like the headcrab. The attachment works, and the head spawns in the right place. I also have it popping off and rolling around when it's shot off.

The only problem is, the attachment head stays in place instead of disappearing. So the visual effect is a duplicate head flying off when the robot dies, since his attached head remains in place and collapses with the rest of the dead bot. Is there something I'm missing in the C code someplace? Or could my attachment be wrong in the QC?

Thanks for stopping by - any advice would be greatly appreciated. Here's my QC:

[cfoust]

instead of

$model "headcrab1" "biped_bot_a_head.smd"

put

$bodygroup headcrab1 
{
blank
studio "biped_bot_a_head.smd"
}

That should allow the code to turn the head on and off.

Awesome thanks! Will try this over the weekend.

(Sorry for the delayed reply, I thought I had "instant notification" on, apparently not)

[kgkraeer]

Thanks again, that worked!
