This is a very simple tutorial explaining how to replace the crowbar with a stunstick in your single player Half Life 2 mod. The stunstick model exists in HL2 deathmatch, so we are just going to get the textures and model from there and place them in our mod.

===Extracting the model files===
Switching the crowbar to use the stunbaton is as simple as opening your scripts/weapon_crowbar.txt. Inside, find these 2 lines:
* Create the following directories in your single player mod:
<pre>
''The stunstick's skin will go here:''
"viewmodel" "models/weapons/v_crowbar.mdl"
:<code>Steam\SteamApps\SourceMods\YOURMOD\materials\models\weapons\v_stunstick</code>  
"playermodel" "models/weapons/w_crowbar.mdl"
''The model will go here:''
</pre>
:<code>Steam\SteamApps\SourceMods\YOURMOD\models\Weapons</code>
And change to:
 
<pre>
* Using [[GCFScape]], open the <code>Steam\Steamapps\half-life 2 deathmatch.gcf</code>.
"viewmodel" "models/weapons/v_stunbaton.mdl"
* Navigate to <code>root\hl2mp\materials\models\weapons\v_stunstick</code> and copy all the files in this directory to the equivalent directory in your mod.
"playermodel" "models/weapons/w_stunbaton.mdl"
* Then navigate to <code>root\hl2mp\models\Weapons</code> and copy the following files to the <code>Weapons</code> directory in your mod:
</pre>
:<code>v_stunstick.dx80.vtx</code>
{{note|This will not get you the glow effect, but only the model. The one in Half-Life 2 is also not finished. Use the one from Half-Life 2: Deathmatch.}}
:<code>v_stunstick.dx90.vtx</code>
:<code>v_stunstick.mdl</code>
:<code>v_stunstick.sw.vtx</code>
:<code>v_stunstick.vvd</code>
 
===Replacing the Crowbar In-game===
* Finally, to actually use this model we need to tell our mod that the stun stick is actually a crowbar. Rename <code>Steam\SteamApps\SourceMods\YOURMOD\scripts\weapon_stunstick.txt</code> to <code>weapon_crowbar.txt</code> (you might want to back up the original first).
* Now, to make it occupy the same slot in the weapons list open the new <code>weapon_crowbar.txt</code> file and change the <code>"bucket_positon"</code> to 0 instead of 3.
 
===See it in action===
* Create a new map and drop a <code>weapon_crowbar</code> item in it along with a bunch of crates to smash...
* Run your new map and pick up the stunstick, use it just like you would a regular crowbar.
* Enjoy.
