To QuakeC is irrelevant if an entity uses an alilas (.mdl) or brush based (.bsp) model in most of the cases (the main exception being how to set the MOVETYPE_* and SOLID_* flags).
You can of course make an entity using a .bsp model destructible. Here's an example from a mod I've been working ...

If didn't work copy and paste the .map file here so we can take a look.

Still doesn't work.

maybe wrong key and value parameters or model name?)

key: model
Value: progs/Quake.mdl
try mine :D
void() model_touch =

local vector v;
local float yaw;

if (other.classname != "player")
return;
if (other.groundentity == self )
return;
if (other.origin_z + other.mins_z + 8 >= self.absmax_z ...

Hello.. again :D I'm here worrying about place_model

I'm using this tutorial here: "http://www.quake-1.com/docs/quakesrc.org/48.html"

(A quite simple tutorial). But My model doesn't appear in game. I follow everything to a T. I set my key, and value in the map editor. When I get in game the ...

OK, so before I ask for everyone's help.. again.. I just wanna say sorry for being a leech on here. I will try and help more people with their problems. :P

Anyways, I'm working on adding destructible items into QC. See, my mapper need it to be a function. So, I was thinking of just making whatever ...

Well, I have to admit. I LOVE FitzQuake. It's an easy engine to work in. The code is easy to understand (in some places) and most of the code is efficient. BUT I do not like it for one thing.. The way the guns are rendered has been COMPLETELY rewritten from Quake. How is this bad? Well, because if ...

If you search for r_drawviewmodel it should lead you to some clues.

Your own gun models should be placed below the 0,0,0 origin, not directly in it (in the modeling program that is). It'd be in your face for it and be worse for the lower viewsize weapon nudging.

Ahh, this opened up so many doors ...

OK, so this is more of a general question more then a coding question. Basically when I get in game the guns that I made seem to render in the middle of the screen. It's not where they're positioned because if I drag them back I only see the very front of the barrel of the gun in the middle of the ...

Basically my mapper needs ladders coded in for the map to work properly, and I don't even know where to start. :/ I know that it should be pretty straight forward, but I'm just stuck. Any help would be appreciated.

If you're programming for Windows with Visual Studio (likely), try sprintf_s(). It's similar to sprintf, but takes a extra parameter for the buffer size.

I'm using Code::Blocks since I like the UI a lot better. But I decided to draw the HUD using images instead and it looks a lot better. Thanks ...

%i/%i is two arguments. but you only provide one. the first number printed have the value, but the second will be pseudo-random (whatever value was in memory at the time).

sprintf does not bound the string, thus (C console program):
char buf1[64];
char buf2[64];
puts("Please enter your name!\n ...

regarding sprintf, you'd get into a much better habit from using snprintf (or equivelent) instead.
the bug would be apparent if you tried running it.
indenting is important, though I realise that pasting it into a browser can mess it up for you.

Sorry if I am annoying you with all of these replys ...
