A long time ago, with C-Script, I used to make weapons as a view entities. Everything worked perfectly, but weapons really missed dynamic lights... in the time back then, I used to use downwards trace with SCAN_TEXTURE, and then I was setting "entity.blue" to "tex_color". So, weapon was changing it's colors depending on the ground under player's feet. That worked perfect for me. Now, I was trying to convert my old script from c-script into lite-c, everything works perfect, but not that "tex_color" thing... I simply can't make weapon to change it's colors depending on the color below the player, may be it doesn't work with lite-c? How to make this? Plus, I found out that view entity's lightning is affected by suns light, so my second question is that possible to get static and dynamic lightnings on view entity?

You can use tex_light instead, I believe. It's undocumented however.
What I don't believe is someone is actually still using view entity to show weapon, why not world entity?

I'm using world entities for my project, I'm just playing around with this one
Plus, the movement of the weapon with my view entity looks so attractive for me ^^

Edit: kk, so "tex_light" doesn't work as "tex_color" used to...
I have one small dynamic light (light blue) on the block with default texture.
But weapons color is always dark blue.. whatever I move...

So? Does anyone have an idea how to solve this? tex_color doesn't seems to work any more.
