Setting a user's visibility

Was wondering if anyone was able to do this? Rendering effects on the player?

m_pEntity->SetRenderMode(kRenderNone);

should work - if not None for some reason try some of the lower ones - they're pretty funny, and I know a few of them don't render at all

Where would I find all the render modes?

Sorry for the double post, but kRenderNone doesn't seem to do anything. Visually at least.

No, it doesn't do anything visually to *you*, should you test it on you, but players can't see you. They can see your weapon, but you can set that to rendernone too. Also, in MSVC, right click kRenderNone and click 'Go To Definition'.

Ah, I see. Well, when I kill myself I see the model rendered, but maybe it changes back to kRenderNormal after death.

Will have to look at RenderFx now.

Edit: Do you know of any way to reproduce the way Phantom CT looks?

When you kill yourself a new ragdoll entity is created. It is not really the same entity as you were.

ohh... that explains it.

Hey guys,
What the hell I need to get this simple example to work?

Code:

#include "baseentity.h"

virtual void test(edict_t *pEntity); //in the header

void test(edict_t *pEntity) { 
CBaseEntity *pPlayer = pEntity->GetUnknown()->GetBaseEntity();
pPlayer->SetRenderMode(kRenderNone);
}

Code:
