model swap

I have a scene in my map where the player will be inside when an explosion happens. I would like to be able to trigger a change in the outside area that would switch undamaged models/brushes for their damaged counterparts. The player would not see it, so it doesn't have to be nicely animated. Any ideas?

prop_dynamic, it has a disable/enable command.
You can disable the original prop, and enable the damaged model.

Also change the texture of the dock. Docks are rarely tile. -Facepunch

Does HL2 still use the env_render entity? That tends to work pretty well.

Nice! Prop dynamic will work perfectly for the props. I also discovered that func_brush will work for the brush parts. Once again The Snarkpit comes through in the clutch. Thanks.
