The sandbox spawn effect (the little refraction effect that you see when you spawn an entity) works by setting ent.RenderOverride to a function within the effect itself. It doesn't do anything to the entity, it doesn't set it every think, it just sets it. However, whenever I set RenderOverride for an entity, nothing happens. Any ideas on how to make this work?
This is what I do for my vehicle spawn after I do local vehicle = ents.Create... :
[lua]local effectdata = EffectData( )
effectdata:SetOrigin( vehicle:GetPos( ) )
effectdata:SetStart( Vector( 0, 0, 255 ) );
effectdata:SetAttachment( 1 )
effectdata:SetEntity( vehicle )
util.Effect( "propspawn", effectdata )
effectdata = nil;[/lua]

yes, this is how you call the GMod spawneffect.
What I was asking was [U]how to use ENT:RenderOverride on a non-scripted entity[/U] ([I]like the spawneffect does.[/I])
Pretty sure that, per definition, if you're scripting an entity it becomes a [I]scripted[/I] entity.

I am trying to change the way [I]any[/I] entity, whether an entity scripted in GMod Lua or an entity built into Source, renders using the RnderOverride function. Whenever I try to use it on a non-scripted entity, nothing happens.
