How do you make a Hologram Orbit around another Hologram?

[Drunkie]

Change the Z value.

That just moves the Orbiting Hologram up and down for me. It still Orbits at a perfect horizontal.

Also, How do you add a trail to a hologram?

[Drunkie]

You need to set the X, Y, and Z. Not just the Z value. If X and Y are 0, it will only go up and down. If you're talking about rotating it, then you need to use holoAng()

As for trails, look here: Wire Expression2 - GMod Wiki

E:setTrails(N,N,N,S,V,N) - StartSize, EndSize, Length, Material, Color (RGB), Alpha

Please look at the wiki before asking questions like this. It takes about 3 seconds to use Ctrl + F (Find) to search for a keyword on the E2 wiki.

I'm sorry, I'm really new at this and I have trouble understanding it at times.

Just Figured out how Vertical Orbit works! Thanks for the tips Drunkie.

Isnt this slow? You are recreating the holos every 10ms while you can just change their position if you want you can look at this: http://www.wiremod.com/forum/express...rformance.html

I'm doing it the simple way. I'm sure I'll learn all that stuff later but for now I only know the basics.

[awdrgyjil]

Its not a matter of a simple-complicted way;Its just that there are commands to set the position of the holos so you dont recreate them every time.It's just simply better to do..

[iSpork]

I just don't understand most of them, I'm an E2 newb.

[iSpork]

I still can't figure out Trails. I know the code and all but I dunno where to put it or what variables I need to set.

[Drunkie]

E:setTrails(N,N,N,S,V,N) - StartSize, EndSize, Length, Material, Color (RGB), Alpha

so...

holoEntity(1):setTrails(4,1,2,"trails/laser",vec(255,255,255),255)

Don't hesitate to experiment with these things on your own, you will learn alot that way.
