Help With Model Animations

[chaim]

I'm trying to make it so when a person gets headshotted he flys backwards instead of just dying. I am just going to use one of the default hl player models probably the grunt, but I want to change it so that the die_backwards animation's name is changed to the one for headshot. What program would I need to do this? Could I do it somehow in HLMV?

Are you doing this for a mod by chance?
Is there already a built in animation for a headshot?

Just to warn you, you might not want to do that, if you say, head shoot someone from behind, they'll still fall backwards into you and it'll look odd :)

If you're doing this for a mod, you could probably edit the source code and search for "die_headshot", then replace that with "die_backwards" to have them fall backwards, though, that assumes that there is a built in headshot animatin.

Right on walrii.

You could probably orient the victim to be in the correct angle right before playing the animation too :)
