[Furious^ONE!]

Hello,

It's simple, take ID weapon (https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/Weapons)

And create file "replace.lua" and copy code:

function replaceModel()  
  
  txd = engineLoadTXD("filename.txd", modelID ) -- Filename, if you file (deagle mod) name desert_eagle.txd. 
  engineImportTXD(txd, modelID) 
  
  dff = engineLoadDFF("filename.dff", ModelID ) -- Model ID, if you change skin deagle, use ID: 348 
  engineReplaceModel(dff, ModelID)  
  
  
end 
addEventHandler ( "onClientResourceStart", getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()), replaceModel) 

And meta.xml

<meta> 
     <info name="Weapon Mod"></info> 
     <script src="replace.lua" type="client"></script> 
     <file src="filename.txd"></file> 
     <file src="filename.dff"></file> 
</meta>

So you want to completely replace the shovel and use it as a physical gun which shoots? There are several things you can do to achieve this but it may be quite difficult for you:

• Start by replacing the shovels DFF and TXD with your choice of gun (for example the deagle).
  
• You can use bindKey to bind left-click and using getPedTarget you can get a target player.
  
• When the player shoots you can deduct health from the target using setElementHealth and getElementHealth.
  
• Then to make the sound effects you can use playSound and setSoundVolume for all nearby players.
  
• For the blood effect (when they're shot) you can use fxAddBlood which will simulate when the player is shot with a real GTA gun.
  
• For the crosshair you can use getKeyState (to check if they're aiming) and then render some dx shapes.

Take a look here: https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/SetWeaponProperty

According to this you cannot modify the shovel using this function so the method I posted above would be most appropriate in your case. Good luck.
