Tooltip on a entity

[wamilou]

Hello,

I search but I don't found how make tooltip on a entity.

Could you help me ? Please.

I don't quite understand what your asking. What are you referring to when you say entity? Because tooltips are made on panels. This might be what you are looking for though: [url]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/?title=Panel.SetTooltip[/url]

That's not what he's talking about, he's referring to some entities work where when you hover over them a white outline appears and a tooltip.

I think you have to use a specific base for your entity (defined by ENT.Base) [del]which I think is "gmod_entity"[/del].

Upon further investigation, the correct base is "base_gmodentity". It's only available in Sandbox.
