"Observer" Spy Set SFM Assets

12 items

Description

This is the SFM version of my TF2 workshop submission: The "Backfire"

It's a wire-taser inspired miniature hand-held sapping device. It's designed around various retro spy gadgets found in old school spy movies. It features that tan-gray metal/plastic texture feel you get from old 70's computers and devices. The red button in the center shoots out the sapper wires towards a target, and the big SAP button toggles the sapping ability. It was originally designed to be a weapon sapper, but it could easily be used on buildings. You can always derive your own interpretation about how it is supposed to function.

Notes

-Posing the sapper cables can be rather difficult. I recommend posing the "cable_end" on your target first, and then posing the inbetween segments separate. Because the cable is subdivided into sections, be sure to lock all cable bones before you move segments around. Otherwise you'll end up moving child cable bones and messing up your pose.

I'd assume this also doubles as a Stun gun of some sort.

Sorry, but the map and the model loaded fine. I poked around a bit trying to break the map as well, loading in several different items and props. I also turned off lighting so I could see if the model was disappearing, or simply in the dark. I couldn't find any issues.

Only thing I can recommend at this point is to verify your SFM cache and unsub and resub to this workshop entry. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Yeah, the first step would be to isolate the issue. If it's the item, it shouldn't show up on any map. I tested my copy using itemtest. Feel free to share a link to the map you are using and I can test it on my end. Hopefully we can figure out if there is something urgent I need to fix.

I've pulled down a copy and tested it, and it appears to be working. Is the rig still there, just no model? or is the entire model+rig gone?

My only thought at the moment would be the map. Is the model being imported into the skybox? That generally causes things to disappear. You could try unsubbing and resubbing(can't tell you how many times I've had to tell people that), that sometimes rejiggers it into working.
