Allow screeneffects to be used in firearms, and maybe add a few variables to have it only display when fired etc.

Discuss how everyone wants this.

To make a gun glow use the colors that naturally glow(Gold and SMG shots). To get glow to appear when you fire, use muzzleflashes.

If you know how it works, glow can be used in anything. The only that that we can't add glow to is when it appears naturally. So he would have to add some way to let us define what colors glow. Course this would mess with everything in the game, so I doubt that will happen. There's probably a clever way of making a custom MOPixel that has it's own glow that you can attach to anything via some clever atom stuff.

Yes but a less hacky way of doing it would be preferable. And you can't attach screeneffects to HDfirearms etc.

^Yeah, I tried that on my rifle and no dice. It would be awesome for energy based weapons so they would glow. : 3

Is there a way of making bullets and trails glow any other colour than the standard yellow and blue?

Only the bullet, trail glowing is hard coded AFAIK.

Actually, I believe you can get individual pixels to glow. Take a look at Thantos's plasma mortar gun. I took the light blue pixel that made the gun glow, and replaced Robot1's eye color with it, and then it's eyes glowed light-blue.

This is true... How'd you think the Gold glows and how my 'Glowsticks' glow?

Since it can be colour defined, e.g. in the code, check the Tracer for the SMG, and certain coloured pixels glow too, you just have to find the right ones.

I think if there were just a light red and a light green glow then everyone would be set.
