Render hook for prop_physics?

[kretorus]

Hi all!

I always really feel un edged asking a question about something. But I looked everywhere on the wiki :(

I need a hook of some kind, to hook into the rendering, of everything.

A sEnt has a ENT:Draw() function, but what hook/function can I hookinto for things like prop_physics?

Thanks in advance!

You want to draw on ent_physics???

No, that would be easy.
I want to execute code clienside, within the draw of the prop_physics

Like the ENT:Draw() function that you can deploy on SENTS.

You can't. You can use PostDrawTranslucentRenderables hook though.

But I need to do things like drawing the model inside this. I don't see a way of retrieving info for every ent?

[lua]
hook.Add("PostDrawOpaqueRenderables", "DrawOnProps", function(depth, drawSkybox)
for k, ent in ipairs(ents.getAll()) do
if (ent:GetClass() == "prop_physics") then
--ent is a prop_physics, do your drawing shit.
end
end
end)
[/lua]

The prop_physics ondraw will overwrite my render frame, as it will always draw a model, even if I don't.
I need to have a way to not draw the model :P.

I dont think this is possible guys.

Can't you do this?

ent.RenderOverride = NewDrawFunction

Use SetNoDraw when you want to hide it.

Unless I'm misunderstanding what it is you want to do, it works fine.

local mat = Material( "models/debug/debugwhite" )

concommand.Add( "testdraw", function ( ply )
	local trace = ply:GetEyeTrace().Entity
	if IsValid( trace ) and trace:GetClass() == "prop_physics" then

		trace.RenderOverride = function ( self )

			render.SuppressEngineLighting( true )
			render.ModelMaterialOverride( mat  )

			self:DrawModel()

			render.SuppressEngineLighting( false )
			render.ModelMaterialOverride()

		end

	end
end )

That's serverside.

I need to be able to draw it only for some players, not all.
