Arguments
Returns
1 table
The model info as a table with the following keys:
- number SkinCount - Identical to Entity:SkinCount.

- string ModelKeyValues - Valve key-value formatted info about the model ($keyvalues command in the .qc of the model), if present
Example
Example usage of the function. We use util.KeyValuesToTablePreserveOrder in order to preserve multiple keys with the same name.
local ModelInfo = util.GetModelInfo("models/combine_gate_vehicle.mdl" )
print( ModelInfo.SkinCount ) // The skin count
PrintTable( util.KeyValuesToTablePreserveOrder( ModelInfo.KeyValues ) ) // Physics data
