Rendering color for non-brush entities

[jocasrb]

Hi guys! Does anyone know is it possible to render a entity by their MINS and MAXS if entity is not brush. Meaning its like info_target created after starting the map.

I really hope someone knows the solution, thanks in advance!

What do you mean? You want to change color of entity?

 

[jocasrb]

Yeah, by its mins and maxes (not by the set model)

SNMetamorph, I guess he wants to make the bounding box of an entity visible.

There's no easy way to achieve this, but you can do it by sending TE_BEAMPOINTS messages(google "walk guard" plugin for example)

I want to make it like on picture 1 (whole block color) and not like on picture two (like beams)..i cant explain better

jocasrb, do you want to see your non-BSP entity in a colored box or just to recreate that effect for "model"?

 

[jocasrb]

gordon9k yes bro, non-BSP entity like on first post i stated: ' info_target created after starting the map. '

You want to use it only for self or for all players on server? If you want to see entity bounding boxes only for self, you can use GoldSrc Monitor.

jocasrb, you can use sprite and scale (pev_scale) it with synchronizing with its bounding box like it's done in Mode 2x2

Xelson i was thinking of it, but how i understood it will be only good looking for enetities like plane surface...for big boxes im not sure it will work

In theory, you can obtain information about bounding boxes in entity model data structures, but I don't actually know, can this be implemented using AMXX or not.
