$modelname

$modelname is a c0 available in all Source games. It is required, as it specifies the path and filename of the compiled model.

• In GoldSrc, this is either a relative path (relative to $cd) or an absolute path. Absolute paths must be encapsulated in quotes, but relative paths do not.
• In Source, this is always a relative path, relative to the \models folder of the mod.

Note:Studiomdl builds prior to Alien Swarm's won't create folders that don't exist. The path specified by $modelname must exist before compiling begins.

Bug:In Alien Swarm, models compiled into the root \models folder cannot be loaded.  [todo tested in ?]

Example

$modelname		"weapons\shell.mdl"

$staticprop

$body		body	"shell.smd"

$cdmaterials		"models\weapons\"

$sequence	idle	"shell_anim_@idle.smd"

$collisionmodel		"shell_physics.smd"

This model will be created at <game path>\models\weapons\shell.mdl.
