- To learn how to compile a model, see Compiling a model.
A QC file is a script which controls the process of compiling SMDs into a binary model that can be loaded into a game. The extension stands for Quake C, the programming and scripting language from which the Valve Data Format was originally derived.
A QC configures the model's location and name, which SMD files are used to provide geometry, collision meshes and animations, how the model reacts when shot, and so on.
Tip:Shared QC files intended for use with $include are given the extension qci.Example
Here is a very simple QC file for a solid model without any animation or special properties (click on each command for details):
$modelname "props_sdk\myfirstmodel.mdl" $body mybody "myfirstmodel-ref.smd" $staticprop $surfaceprop combine_metal $cdmaterials "models\props_sdk" $sequence idle "myfirstmodel-idle.smd" loop fps 15 $collisionmodel "myfirstmodel-phys.smd" { $concave }
