Lightning on a local model

Hi everyone

I'm making a first-person-shooter game and in all first-person-shooters you need a weapon hanging around like a panel on the screen. The easyest way to show this weapon is to make a runtime created entity. The problem is: There are no lightning effects on such an entity. Tell me one modern shooter with no lightning-effects on the weapon.
So: Is there a way to add a bit of lightning or brightness effects to a runtime created entity through shader materials?

Please help. I can't sell a game without those effects.

An easier solution to this is create a model via ent_create and have it attached to say the player hand...

This behaves like a normal model then

Greetings

the local player weapon (seen by the player) is more detailed than the normal one (seen by other players in a multiplayergame)

attaching the local weapon to the hand means that the local weapon = the normal weapon

and: how can I protect the program from in the wall sticking local weapons than?

question 1: use lod at extreme stages

try this in the multi-player shooter:

create the detailed "View" weapon with ent_createlocal and then the Player weapon with ent_create.

doing this, you create a weapon that only belongs to your computer and a weapon that all player see.

In AUM there is a script that checks how bright is where your model is(the player) like for hiding in the shadows , use this with setting brightness of the weapon maby ?

Maybe the advanced ffp tutorial in the wiki helps.

I don't think so in this case.

Something he could maybe try doing is passing the players lighting to his weapon.

This thread seems like it belongs in either the scripting forum or the multiplayer forum and should be moved.
