This can not be done, sorry. You would have to completely mod the game and change files and it would just be too much work, too complicated and could even get you vac banned :\

So no, this cant be done :S I only know because I also wanted to do this but found out it was not possible about a year ago.

Well easiest way is always alt+tab to windows and copy requaired texture to folther, cause source engine is always reloading textures, when it is alt+tab ed to windowns and back... =D

I know that this is not what u wanna do, but as Maximillian said: it is not possible ... =/

I suggest u search a scripter but than u need to make a whole new mod it would be great but not possible for the real game hl2dm

if u pass and sucied for a mod i will need to contact u beacuse i find it a great idee to do this with those hands ( meaby also add a third the normal hazzard soute for player model gordon meaby ) but if u succied plz contact me it would be great

Pros: Nice idee but not dowebel meaby for a mod but not hl2dm Cons: search a good scripter and make a mod with it Improvements: search a good scripter and make a mod with it Notes: contact me if u sucsied
