Foot Steps

    So I am trying to make foot steps for a faction when they walk but one thing I am confused on is this line of code,

    Code:
    if (string.find(model, "metrocop") or string.find(model, "shockcp") or string.find(model, "ghostcp") or string.find(model, "police")) then
    I do not get where it gets the metrocop from! I am guessing it is like taking out the models/ and .mdl but when I search for metrocop on gmod no results come up for me.

    I am trying to insert the model of models/zombie/fast.mdl

    If I'm thinking correctly, metrocop is the default Metropolice model when you first get a character. It's in one of the Clockwork content packs, by Mr.Brightside.

    I don't see metrocop in the pack. Just looked.

    Not too sure then. It is just part of the string name, so anything that has "metrocop" would work, I suppose. I can't really help you any further, sorry.

    string.find is a function that searches for a certain string in another string, in this case "metrocop", "shockcp", "ghostcp", or "police". The 'model' variable is declared earlier in the function with player:GetModel(), which returns the string of the player's current model. These strings are probably in the model paths of most if not all the metropolice models that are out there, which is probably why they were chosen.

    So what it is doing is taking the model string, then seeing if it has any of those keywords in the string, and if it does, then it gets past the logic gate and runs the code. Keep in mind that the keywords it is searching for is not the entire model path.
