i know that
but i was wondering if you can import an animated mesh

for example:

[Spike]

the only animated meshes you can import into a bsp are those using shader vertex modifiers.

that said, some mods do support a 'func_model' entity, which would allow you to place a model of some kind in the map. if it has a framegroup instead of descrete frames, it'll automatically animate.

but you do need more than the base id1 progs/qc.

Make a model and turn it into a static entity.

^^^ Would love to see that in game

[metlslime]

probably want to use makestatic() if possible, to reduce edict count and packet size.

you can't change the .frame if its a static entity. you'd need to make a framegroup to get such an ent to animate (and not all engines that support interpolation interpolate between framegroup frames).
