GravGun transparency mod

[MoD]

Inspiration

being a newbie coder as I am, it took me a lot of trial and error, and eventually hellcat_ from #hl2coding figured it out for me, still was a fun project...

//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Purpose: 
// Input  : *pObject - 
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
bool CWeaponPhysCannon::AttachObject( CBaseEntity *pObject, const Vector &vPosition )
{
...
...
...
// make it 50% transparent - MoD
		pObject->m_nRenderMode = kRenderTransColor;
		pObject->SetRenderColor( 255, 255, 255, 128 );
		pObject->m_nRenderFX = kRenderFxNone; ;
	return true;
}

void CWeaponPhysCannon::DetachObject( bool playSound, bool wasLaunched )
{
...
...
...
// MoD - make it visible again
		pObject->m_nRenderMode = kRenderNormal;
		pObject->SetRenderColor( 255, 255, 255, 255 );
		pObject->m_nRenderFX = kRenderFxNone; ;
}

Just to let you know, you have to many semi-colons in your code

Interesting idea though

that is actually really awsome, I always was irritated by those damn large objects and not being able to see.... I need to learn C++

Are you sure you want to set the renderfx?

Extra semi-colons are not dangerous, at least in this case.
