I want to show the little tnt sprit on the minimap like on glider.

How do you do that, i have tried almost everything....

have you tried pasting it onto the image. I dont think those icons scale, which means they are a part of the .bmp

thats the defaulto thing for the uh rocket launcher or any kind of object you may pick up. i think you can change it by changing the "overhead sprite" on the func_object. something like that anyways.

yeah.

you mean dod_object.

a) You have to have the model name as: hltv_modelname.mdl

b) And It has to be in the model folder.

NOTE: if it ain't visable by the player it won't show in the HUD.

I spent some time sorting it out for my map, dod_carta.

Oh, forgot to say. you also need a sprite called hltv_modelname.spr in the sprites folder.

tbh ... I ain't ever tried it for the tnt. It looks like it's done differently as tnt is a "standard" object used in DoD.

I have a suspicion (but I'm not positive about it) that the game code checks to see if certain models are used by either a dod_object or env_model - I think I've noticed a TNT icon on the map where one of the TNT crates was placed.

That would be dod_charlie then.

I checked the ent list for that map and couldn't find any link to the tnt sprite on the minimap and the entities in the map.
