each time the npcs shoot the particles keep shooting if that makes sense its lagging my game pls fix

Glad you fixed it. And yeah, life steals precious Gmod time sadly...

sorry for the wait, it was finals week, but I fixed it

getting the same issue i believe from the muzzle one

Missing IsNPC/IsPlayer() check?

Things should be fixed now, and work better. Let me know how it works.

Yeah- the check for metal surfaces kinda sucks anyways so I’ll rework it and fix that.

@Jiyū to anzen
im also getting that error, just a missing nil check?

I'm getting weird particles shooting NPC's. I'm using full dynamic animated blood as well so maybe there's an incompatibility between the two, but could you check it out?

I cannot port this to Hl2- as HL2 does not support lua code.

do you think you could port these to hl2?

Oh, perfect! Appreciate you fixing it

Dude I just got that error myself earlier and was about to fix it, what a coincidence

This gives an error when hitting some surfaces, probably needs some kind of surfaces fallback if I had to guess... The surfaces are stuff like L4D2 props. I'm getting this from hitting a couch and a light with a default HL2 pistol.

lua/autorun/pt_impactlight.lua:68: attempt to index local 'SurfaceData' (a nil value)
1. v - addons/projected texture lights/lua/autorun/pt_impactlight.lua:68

Neat!

I’ll try it out when I can. Thanks for the suggestion.

can you try doing one for weapons that have glowing or bright parts on them? like the ar2, gravity/physics gun, crossbow, bugbait, stunstick etc.

This is aweome!
