ok when i try to render an entity created it disappears, i notice this happens only when i set the enitity to pev_aiment. any idea why?

[unnyquee]

Show the code, please.

The pev_aiment entity is invisible for player who it is aimed to

[whosyourdaddy]

create_ent(id)
{
		engfunc(EngFunc_SetModel, ent[id], g_ent)
		set_pev(ent[id], pev_classname, "fake")
		set_pev(ent[id], pev_movetype, MOVETYPE_FOLLOW)
		set_pev(ent[id], pev_aiment, id)
		fm_set_entity_visibility(ent[id], 0 )
}

// called to make ent invisible or render it to 100
stock fm_set_entity_visibility(index, visible = 1)
{
	if( !visible )
	{
		fm_set_rendering(index, kRenderFxGlowShell, kRenderNormal, 0)

		return;
	}
	
	fm_set_rendering(index, kRenderFxGlowShell, kRenderNormal, 100 )
}

stock fm_set_rendering(entity, fx = kRenderFxNone, kRender, amount = 16) 
{ 
    
    set_pev(entity, pev_renderfx, fx)
	set_pev(entity, pev_rendermode, kRender)
    set_pev(entity, pev_renderamt, float(amount))
}

You're kidding or just blind?

[whosyourdaddy]

i have it being called 1 somewhere else in the code, thats when i want it being shown but it just makes it go invis when i try render and when i comment out the render it shows

Use the flag "EF_NODRAW" to hide it.

[whosyourdaddy]

my problem tho is rendering it, when i try rendering it when it shows then it completely goes invisable

Try to copy renderamt, renderfx, rendermode, rendercolors from aiment entity.

kRenderFxGlowShell is not the way to make it translucent...
