Is there a way to highlight a prop?
- Thread starter Asd417
- Start date
tf_glow is a point entity they recently added to put an outline on a prop. There exists some restrictions though: The glow cannot be seen from other map portals (through most map walls), and the glow cannot be set onto a prop that spawns after the map loads (dynamic entities like a passtime ball).
I've sent in bug reports about these two, but I assume valve has other bigger priorities. If you want though you can also send in a bug report!
You are, at this point, still somewhat better off just to parent objects to flags, or use a team_train_watcher to 'watch' a specific prop, and then use tf_gamerules to force the HUD from PL to something else like CP.

Yeah they are. If you set up at least these keyvalues on the train watcher it will highlight a prop that is parented to the func_tracktrain brush, which can be set on a path but with no speed so it doesn't go anywhere.
Probably, if you give some indication as to where the boat would be headed. The greatest concern I would have with that ideas is that two people from opposite teams might stand on the boat, without being able to fire at each other (because there's a part of the boat in the way).
The train watcher will successfully render the glow to all clients (including players) that have glows enabled.

That's a way oversimplification.
team_train_watcher is used to create a Payload track. Everything else is a side effect of how Valve designed the payload goal system.
