How to make yourself glow - Garry's Mod

So, I go on a darkrp or a sandbox server and people say "Woah! That's cool how you made yourself all bright and glowyishery." People wanna know how do I make myself look like this? It's really simple let me show you! So here's a few images of what it might look like, you can also play around with the colors and get something other than blue red or green, like orange or purple!

Join any game or make a single player game. Step 2! Open the context menu and select Player Model Step 3! Select "Colors" Step 4! Select a color, and instead of using the thingy with all the mixed colors, where the boxes are showing the number, click on those boxes! Step 5! After clicking on the boxes just go ahead add or take away any numbers! Experiment! You can do the same thing to you're physgun colors! it'll show on any server that allows it!

Do you have any idea why this has different results to the colour picker?

Player colors are stored as a value between 0 and 1 as a decimal. The color tool there converts the traditional RGB values into decimals. This method probably doesn't convert it properly directly making the colors higher than 1, giving it that supersaturated glow. Try entering the colors manually in the console using cl_playercolor and you will achieve the same effect.

Thanks, I look stylish in Gmod now haha.

First post on facepunch got some pretty good results.

That's pretty cool.

This happened to me once when I was in the first version of colorable playermodels back in 13 beta, good to see I'm not the only one that knows you can fuck over the colors

Move the thing around and slide the bar. 4. Copy paste when you have found what you like 5. Stop using emoticons on Facepunch Or, it might be fixed if someone on the dev team thought it was horrible that people could glow, I haven't really tried it in awhile.

I found this out when on Gmod Tower and changing the R, G, B values to 100000000000000 and making my hair glow. But nice Tutorial :downs:
