Programming a 'SkinBlind' effect

[OneManClan]

Hi Guys,

I've just realised that it's possible that the Quake C Gurus here don't check out other sections of this forum, and so may not be aware of

Could I get a confirmation from the Quake C Gurus that this effect (where hallucinating players see a different set of skins to everyone else) cannot be achieved in Quake C, and must be done via the engine.

thanks,

can customize entity for client be used here?

Didn't spike already post a qc solution?

Essentially there's no tidy way to do it, and as Avirox says many servers will automatically filter out the hacks used to manage it.

Actually, isn't .drawonlytoclient a server-only feature? There's no need for it to send drawonlytoclient entities to other clients, so it should be all handled on the server end.

Now, things like movetype follow or attaching one entity to another via engine are maybe not so server-side.
