Halo, ents.

[Borris_Squad]

So i was looking at: [url]https://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/halo/Add[/url]

And was wondering, does it always make the ents glow, i.e through walls, or just when you look at them (not through walls) as i want to add a glow to usable ents on my server.

Thanks.

if you read the 7th argument:

boolean ignoreZ=false

Renders the halo through anything when set to true.

What you are asking is toggled by argument number 7.

Of course, you have to keep in mind the PVS stuff.

 hook.Add( "PreDrawHalos", "AddHalos", function()
	halo.Add( ents.FindByClass( "prop_physics*" ), Color( 255, 0, 0 ), 5, 5, 2 )
end )

If i write this in lua/autorun, can i have more than just props. Or do i need to recode it for every ent (i assume that "prop_physics" is a list and i can add more via a comma?)

	for k, v in pairs( player.GetAll() ) do

			table.insert( staff, v )

	halo.Add( staff, Color( 0, 255, 0 ), 0, 0, 2, true, true )

halo.Add takes a table of entities to draw the halo around. As long as you have an entity, halo.Add will work as intended.
