Simple Weapon / Item Highlights

** Note: This addon is discontinued and will no longer receive updates. **

What is this?

Some simple highlight system to mark the position of close items and weapons. Supply items, like healthkits or batteries will appear green, ammo blue and Half-Life 2 weapons slightly yellow. Scripted weapons will appear blue-ish and scripted entites (spawnables only!) will appear cyan. (hud NOT included)

FAQ

Q: Can I somehow change the highlight colors? A: For now, check for "ihl_" console commands. I'll add more advanced options soon.

Q: Why do items have no name displayed? A: Because gmod sets the name in the UI, not in the item. I'll maybe add them manually...

Q: Why are some scripted entities like cut-off limbs highlighted? That's just weird... A: Because the creator of that gore mod you're using tagged the gibs as menu spawnable, for whatever reason.

Q: What is the hud you're using? A: I made that one up about half a year ago. It's not available for download.

Q: What maps were these screenshots taken on? A: d2_lostcoast ( Half-Life 2: Lost Coast ) and dm_steamlab ( Half-Life 2: Deathmatch )

Q: What is that weapon shown on one of the screenshots? A: It's from one of my other addons.

I can't believe this made it to the frontpage in 24 hours. Thank you :)
