Since the Glow component was removed from S&box, I decided to make my own version using just C# and VFX (Valve Shader Language) It's fairly simple to use and should take much work to use.
For use within a game, place the contents of this repository into the root folder of your game.
using Sandbox;
using Landis;
namespace Example
{
/// <summary>
/// Just an Entity with some cool glow!
/// </summary>
public partial class EntityWithGlow : ModelEntity
{
/// <summary>
/// The actual glow component used in the entity.
/// </summary>
[BindComponent] public GlowEffect Glow { get; }
public EntityWithGlow()
{
SetModel( "models/elan/rooms/props/door_panel.vmdl" );
SetupPhysicsFromModel( PhysicsMotionType.Static, false );
// Component must be created after the model is set.
Components.Create<GlowEffect>();
Glow.Active = true;
Glow.Color = Color.Green;
}
}
}I'd like to have a mention crediting me somewhere if you use this in your game, it doesn't have to be big text but somewhere have text that can be displayed (or a label in a mainmenu) containing something like this

You can tweak the wording if you want, as long as the message is conveyed.
