Can you change a player's avatar to a stock texture thru scrpt? Or maybe add something over the avatar to specify that the player is holding an object? Or would i be better off just attatching a light or a corona to the person?

I dont really think so, not serverside.
But what I did to make a player avatar for one player was to spawn a model and give it the origin of the player. That's how I did it for my player medic mod.

Remeber that glueing makes the glued entity use the entity-it's-glued-to's origin and angles. So, e.g. if you glue a model to a player, it will appear at the player's feet (that's where the player's origin is).

I didn't use the glue command. I used a while loop and inside that I gave the entity's origin the same as the player's origin + ( 0 0 20 ).

soooo....
Code: Select all
while (parm.other.health != 0 )
{
$bomb.origin = parm.other.origin + ( 0.00 0.00 96.00 )
}

Put a waitframe in there or MoHAA will stop loading the map and print a 'possible infinite loop' error in the console. However, I'd try binding or attaching it to the Bip01 Head bone.

This is how I used it:
Code: Select all
while(level.medic.ismedic == 1)
{
$medic_avatar.origin = ( ( level.medic gettagposition "Bip01 Spine1" ) + ( 0 0 0 ) )
wait .1
}

What do you add this ( 0 0 0 ) for? And doing it this way will make the avatar lag behind the player. I'd try attaching it.

I extracted that out of my old one. I started from scratch. I couldn't find my new one.
Edit:
Here's the
new one:
Code: Select all
$canteen.origin = ( level.medic gettagposition "eyes bone" ) + ( 0 0 15 )
