So, I'm extremely new to Gmod (just got it today to try and go on Breezy's server) So excuse me if I'm a noob or if this is some simple problem, I really have no idea what I'm doing lol

Anywho, I can set my model just fine, and every time I start the game the player model is the custom one I set it to, however whenever I test it by killing my player, I respawn as just a plain white pony with absolutely no custom settings, and have to go back to my other model by hitting C and loading it from the editor again.

Not really sure what I'm doing wrong here ;~;
