The <code>[[$body]]</code> [[QC command]] is used to specify a 'reference' SMD that contains [[vertex]], [[UV map]], [[skeleton]] and [[envelope]] data for the model. Without it, the model has no physical appearance and there is no context for animation data.
The [[$body]] [[QC command]] is used to specify the ''reference.smd'' file that will become the [[$modelname]].mdl.


A name is given to a $body because it is possible for a model to have several - like the [[npc_metropolice|metrocop]], who has one with a [[npc_manhack|manhack]] attached and one without.
* Use [[$body]] for all models unless you need to specify special animation parameters like eyes, flexes etc.; in which case use [[$model (QC)]] instead.


{{tip|More complex models with eyes, facial animation, etc. use <code>[[$model (QC)|$model]]</code> instead of $body.}}

The $body QC command is used to specify the reference.smd file that will become the $modelname.mdl.

  • Use $body for all models unless you need to specify special animation parameters like eyes, flexes etc.; in which case use $model (QC) instead.

Parameters

$body	"<name>" "<reference>.smd"
<name>
Can be anything you like. It is used as a convenient label by HLMV to distinguish the main mesh from other $bodygroup meshes.
<reference SMD>
Path to and name of the 'reference' SMD, relative to the QC file's current directory.

QC syntax example

$modelname		"weapons/shell.mdl"
$cdmaterials		"models/weapons/"
$body		"Shell"	"shell_ref.smd"
$sequence	idle	"shell_idle.smd"
