The muzzle entity is defined as: Code: ENTITY* ent_muzzle = { type = "muzzle_2.mdl"; view = camera; x = 285; y = -27; z = -17; pan = 10; tilt = 10; roll = 0; flags2 = OVERLAY \| VISIBLE \| BRIGHT; } But how can I make the model transparent? I was told to make it bright and transparent. But when I use a transparent flag on the entity the engine trows back an error. This is how the model looks like: Does anyone know how to fix this in the script? The best games are the games you create yourself.

Why can't I put everything in 1 flag? Why are there flags and flags2? Also, I have another question... Hoe can I make the ENTITY* visible from somewhere else in the script? This doesn't work: set(ent_muzzle,VISIBLE); Thanks. Last edited by NL_3DGS_n00b; 06/15/08 20:25. The best games are the games you create yourself.

Strange how VISIBLE is part of flags2 yet INVISIBLE is part of just flags? ent_muzzle.flags2 &= ~VISIBLE; doesn't work for me either, hmm?? Why did conitec choose to use this method of setting flags. Personally i prefer the c-script method, it is soo easy and more code friendly in my opinion. Does it offer any extra benefits setting flags this way in lite-c then c-script? I can't see any.
