IM GONNA KISS YOU

Furthermore depending on sprint animation it may clip through the weapon model when holding. If you can get it to lower a little more to the side (or have a slider) or just simply have the model lower out of view and have the player retain the glow, combined with fixing the lighting thing I mentioned before - I would consider this mod 100% no notes perfect

One of the most helpful mods for maze+map exploration.

May I suggest a fade in / fade out for the light element? Maybe separating the light element as its own entity that follows the chemlight/player? Currently, when you pull out the light or put it away, the light INSTANTLY disappears. This is a bit jarring, and when you drop a chemlight with vmanip it disappears for a moment before spawning the deployed chemlight - so you get a flash of darkness, then flashed with light.

If that's my only criticism, you did good, because now we are going into polish territory.

Could you send what lua error says to the "Bugs" discussion?

Saddly Steam has no option to leave some kind of Reaction to answers in the comment section. But yeah. I get sometimes errors because i turned off the Uses Ammunition thing, but it doesnt bother me since it doesn't crash or interrupts my game in any kind. So i can live with small errors. Thank you for everything.

Because with ammo option enabled there is finite number of them in your posession, determined by special ammo type, and each time you drop or eat them it consumes one. You get 5 when you spawn a swep version, but you dont get them automatically when using vmanip. In the entities there is crate that gives you some quantity of them when you use it.

Ok. i want Edit my message, but there is no option for it. if i disable the Consuming costs Ammunition, it gets fixed. thank you. maybe its useful for the others who have the same problem.

I dont know, why it doesnt work. the Equip and UnEquip work with Vmanip, but the rest doesnt. nor Consume or Drop. even after Rebinding it often or updating the Settings in the... Settings menu. what do i do wrong?

i get no errors from Vmanip nor the Addon Sweps itself.

Энтити РГБ глоустика работает совершенно по другому принципу чем обычные глоустики и будет работать не корректно. Вообще кидаемый глоустик должен стать того же цвета что и глоустик в текущий момент в руке, но гмод где-то неправильно считает.

it goes away if you sprint or unequip
