The model used in the $includemodel line must exist, otherwise the game cannot give your MDL animations.

The $includemodel QC command is used to add an MDL file that this model will include at run-time. All new sequences and animations will be appended to the model.
- Animations and sequences are processed in-order, so subsequent animations/sequences that have name conflicts will be ignored, and any references to .mdl local entry by the same name will be overwritten with the reference to a first one declared.
- Included .mdl's can have different bone ordering, but they need to have the same bone hierarchy and ikchain declarations. Currently there's no run-time checking to verify they match.
- Only animations and sequences are used from included .mdls. Currently models, textures, faces, attachments, etc. are ignored.
Example
- This creates a viewmodel for the
Left 4 Dead 2 Boomer's hands, while taking the animations from anims_v_claw_Boomer.mdl.
Note:$includemodel only points to the MDL file containing the animations to be used. It does not copy animations from that model and paste it into yours.The model used in the $includemodel line must exist, otherwise the game cannot give your MDL animations.
