Hi, I am currently trying to use a muzzleflash model as an Entity for my gunfire script. The muzzle entity is defined as: 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?

Thanks.
However, when I use there flags:
flags2 = OVERLAY | VISIBLE | BRIGHT | TRANSLUCENT;
The model is still black...

Hey, your right.
I am using now:
flags = BRIGHT | TRANSLUCENT;
flags2 = VISIBLE;
Now it works fine.
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.

you can use ent_muzzle.flags |= INVISIBLE; to set it back to invisible.
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.
