[E2] Holograms Done.

[McLovin]

Hey, I know a lot of people have been waiting for a while and I apologize. I went on a vacation, started a game mode and some other things. Anyway here are the E2 functions i plan on releasing the Entity version in a few weeks, after I finish my game mode. I hope you guys enjoy, I was kind of in a rush to release so it might have bugs. If it does just PM me and I will do my best to fix and update. Also, a special thanks to Zeik. Without Zeik these holograms would not be, he helped me A LOT with these along with learning lua . Anyway here you are.

Hope You Enjoy and thanks again Zeik .

UPDATE

NEW FUNCTION ADDED! holoScaleUnits( ) allows you to scale the holograms to garry's mod units. Also concommand codes cleaned up. display_owners command now updates every 0.5 seconds and only sends data when needed.

wire_holograms_block_id is now wire_holograms_block_name and same for unblock. FIND CODE USED FROM find.lua. Also if you create a new hologram at the same index it no longer spawns a new prop but just updates that prop.

holoReset Added. holoEntity(INDEX) Added (returns hologram entity). holoDeleteAll() Added. And holoParent(n,n) fixed.

POSITIVE INDEXES ARE CHIP RELATIVE. NEGATIVE INDEXES ARE PLAYER RELATIVE. So one chip cant use another chip's positive indexes! holoCreate() functions now return entities. Holograms now have their own class "gmod_wire_hologram". Any bugs let me know!

Looks pretty good, can't wait to try it out.

[Zanik]

Works great, i set it on an interval with a scale of 5,5,5 and set it to the vector of my aimpos, got spammed with
...ities\gmod_wire_expression2\core\custom/hologram.lua:8: Tried to use a NULL entity!
in console :/. Also, doesnt seem to work right with owner():eye()

Btw, whats the max size on these? i tried vec(100,100,100) and got the above error also.

Also, i keep getting a shitload of those errors, randomly, whenever i try to mess with scale.

:O hm... weird. As I said i was in a bit of a hurry so let me take a look... sorry.

EDIT: I think its because it may not have enough time to spawn... Ill try to fix sometime tomorrow.

EDIT2: Oh woops forgot to put the timer in :P. The server simply hasn't had enough time to create the entity. Hang on give it 5 minutes for me to upload and then download and try again.

[Zanik]

Yeah, as soon as i make it, i usually get the error.

[McLovin]

Yeah, as soon as i make it, i usually get the error.

Yup sorry about that try re downloading now. If it still fails ill fix it tomorrow.

[Zanik]

One more thing, it seems to hate intervals with a burning passion, and trying that now. Btw, can you post the code for the speedometer, cant see it.

EDIT-- As soon as i spawn it, i still get the error.
