Custom Gun Texture

[Tobiasx]

Hello Everyone, does anyone know how to have a gun have a custom texture, without editing the actually gun itself? Thanks

Anyone?

Use [URL="http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/surface/SetMaterial"]SetMaterial[/URL]

For example, I use this:

SetMaterial( "phoenix_storms/chrome.vtf" )

You might be able to do something a little more advanced with the [URL="http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/render"]Render library[/URL] to only apply the material to a certain existing material on the gun.

This doesn't seem to be working

Could anyone clarify with an example on this? I too would like to change the texture of a weapon entity, but don't have a clue where to begin with the render library.
