Rendering text only SOME times...

[bobthe2lol]

I am making an extention for E2, and its a holo-text extention, as in 3D2D, but the problem is that is renders only some of the time, and i cant understand the peramiters on which it DOES render...

Tell me what part of my code you need, because theres a lot of it. For starters, ill post my ENT:Draw() function
[lua]
function ENT:Draw()
cam.Start3D2D(Info["Position"],Info["Angle"],Info["Scale"])
draw.DrawText(Info["Text"],"DefaultFixedOutline",0,0,Info["Color"],1)
cam.End3D2D()
end
[/lua]
All those are defined by:
[lua]
function ENT:Load()
Str = self.Entity:GetNetworkedString("wire_textholo")
Info = glon.decode(Str)
end
[/lua]
and that is set by something in init.lua
[lua]
function ENT:send()
print("sv_send called")
self.Entity:SetNetworkedString("wire_textholo", glon.encode(Info))
end
[/lua]
and info is set by more functions in init.lua called by the E2 extention file.

so ENT:PostDrawOpaque() instead of ENT:Draw()?

With PostDrawOpaque() is just makes an error model at origin... That is by replacing ENT:Draw() with ENT:PostDrawOpaque()

Whadya mean, i get it. with PVS it only sends if it changed, with ALWAYS it sends even if it hasnt changed.
How was i to know that it had renderables in the end if its name?
Also, thats a gamemode function... do i hook into it from the ent or something?

[bobthe2lol]

Fixed, so do i hook into it from the entity or something?

[bobthe2lol]

I did, but that would overwrite the function, and it has GM: instead of ENT: and i dont know if that means it can be made from the ent, or just hooked or something...?

Thanks iRzilla! It works now :D
[lua]
function PostDrawOpaqueRenderable()
if Go == 1 then
cam.Start3D2D(Info["Position"],Info["Angle"],Info["Scale"])
draw.DrawText(Info["Text"],"DefaultFixedOutline",0,0,Info["Color"],1)
cam.End3D2D()
end
end
hook.Add("PostDrawOpaqueRenderables","textholohook",PostDrawOpaqueRenderable)
[/lua]
