Is this possible without dummy inserts? If so, how?

Pretty sure you can do it with just a CBE, like so: pEntity->SetRenderColor(r,g,b,a);

For this to work, I think you have to set the render mode to world glow with something like pEntity->SetRenderMode(kRenderWorldGlow);

After some trial and error, I figured out that the problem was that the color has to be reset each time a player joins the server for that player to see the effects.
