Env_projectedtexture parenting problem (please help)

[uromastix87]

In a map that I am working on I need an env_projectedtexture which I need to have a parent for and also set a target for it(neither work). I have been looking all over for solutions and all I have found is a VDC page with all of the fixes for that entity. But, they are all coding solutions which I can't do. I have tried looking for env_projectedtexture.cpp so I could just open that with notepad and paste the lines in but I can't even find that! I have GCF scape and looked all over for it for about an hour.

here is the link:
[url]http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Env_projectedtexture/fixes[/url]

please someone make an easier tutorial
or
upload some sort of fix for it so I can paste it in my mod folder.

Please help this is a VERY important feature in my map/entire mod.
Thanks in advance!

I've tried doing the same before, I've never had any luck.

You can find c_env_projectedtexture.cpp in
Your name\mod\src\game\client

so where would that be in the GCF files? so i can extract it edit it then paste it in src\game\client.

NVM I just chose the "make mod from scratch" selection in the SDK and got the file from there hope I can get it to work

wait where would I paste this?

You do know that you can parent a Env_projecttexture to something without and programming right?

Actually, you can, but it wont actually move. That is what the problem is.

Try using a measure_movement.

Just my advice, leave projected textures alone, if you are making that map for gmod.
(all fixes require programming. you cant use the compiled code / dlls with gmod's dlls.)
