(Hammer Editor) Entity Names Changes Model?

I was recently trying to figure out how to manipulate the model of a character, I used some BM maps to figure out what changed there model, as a last resort I changed there name and boom it worked, so is this a thing and if so, how do I know what name to choose to get a certain model, is there a list anyone has laying around xD?

If you go into the scripts/ folder there’s a file called character_manifest.txt which holds all the face presets for the human characters and associated names - I assume that’s the one you’re looking for.
