The clientside doesn't know that the legs are broken, or the hook isn't running clientside.

Anyone who knows how i can attach an effect to an entity? I thought i could use ParticleEffectAttach but it it only works for particles. Im trying to make an entity have the standard ar2 tracer. Figured i needed to use util.Effect but i don't know how to make the effect spawn and attach to the entity.

I'm trying to make a poison zombie torso. and the code is at the bottom. and my problem is that first off the torso is slightly floating? and when disable ai is on it goes to T animation instead of idle animation. Help?

function ENT:RunBehaviour()

timer.Simple(1.7,function()
end)
local ent = ents.Create("npc_poisonzombie")
ent:SetPos(self:GetPos() + Vector(0,0,20))

ent:Spawn()
ent:SetModel("models/zombie/poison_torso.mdl")
ent:SetKeyValue( "crabcount", 0 )

Just replace

halo.Add( vorts, Color( 0, 255, 0 ), 1, 1, 2, true, true )

with

halo.Add( team.GetPlayers(TEAM_VORT), Color( 0, 255, 0 ), 1, 1, 2, true, true )

(Does the same as your code, but why dont use a function that exists?).
And place the

if LocalPlayer():Team() ~= TEAM_VORT then return end

inside the hook before the halo.Add().

And you're still resetting the table for every player, you'd have to place it outside the loop.

I'm trying to make an entity but whenever I spawn it in sandbox I get an error model, though when I spawn it in through my gamemode the model shows up. I've got no idea how to fix it, this is the code but I feel like it's probably because of where I saved the entity or something:

function ENT:Initizialize()
    self:SetModel( "models/props_borealis/bluebarrel001.mdl" )
	self:PhysicsInit(SOLID_VPHYSICS)
	self:SetMoveType(MOVETYPE_NONE)
	self:SetSolid(SOLID_VPHYSICS)
	
	self:GetPhysicsObject():Wake()

end

I'm trying to make a poison zombie torso. and the code is at the bottom. and my problem is that first off the torso is slightly floating? and when disable ai is on it goes to T animation instead of idle animation. Help?

function ENT:RunBehaviour()
while ( true ) do
timer.Simple(1.7,function()
end)
local ent = ents.Create("npc_poisonzombie")
ent:SetPos(self:GetPos() + Vector(0,0,20))
ent:SetAngles(self:GetAngles())
ent:Spawn()
ent:SetModel("models/zombie/poison_torso.mdl")
ent:SetKeyValue( "crabcount", 0 )
ent:SetSaveValue("m_fIsTorso", true)
ent:SetName("Poison Zombie Torso")
undo.Create( "Poison Zombie Torso" )
local k, v
for k, v in ipairs( ents.GetAll( ) ) do
if v:IsPlayer() then
undo.AddEntity( ent )
undo.SetPlayer( v )
undo.Finish()
SafeRemoveEntity(self)
coroutine.yield()
end
end
end
end

This is literally spamming my console..
Bad SetLocalOrigin(-17068.048828,-15015.128906,-30.203926) on gmod_hands
What could cause this?
