Just inquiring about how I can go about creating a modified "creator" tool that simply ghosts a selected prop.
I have a simple tool category that contains tools that are more or less just storing lists of models via PropSelect // selecting the model simply assigns it to creator_name
Using the creator tool is simplistic enough, but I'd love to learn how I can go about having it replicate the ghosting feature you see in the standard construction tools, however I've been unsuccessful in replication any of that and really only have it as reference. Just want to apply this to spawning props and not entities.
Do ClientsideModel("name",RENDERGROUP_TRANSLUCENT) to create a clientside entity and use LocalPlayer():GetEyeTrace() to set a position and rotation. You can make the clientside entity transclucent with SetRenderMode(RENDERMODE_TRANSALPHA) and SetColor(Color(255,255,255,180)).
