server didn't like that either... this is where I am not understanding why its acting up.

As I said in my previous reply: "ply" is never defined (basically: doesn't exist) in your code. That is what "LocalPlayer()" is for, since the code is clientside, it will return the player object of the client.

Line 2 in the code should be

Code: [Select]

local trace = util.TraceLine( util.GetPlayerTrace( LocalPlayer() ) )as Neku originally had the code.

Okay So the errors are gone. But the halo still isn't highlighting props. In fact as apposed to my hook on its own. It doesn't highlight anything. The hook as a standalone will highlight everything. I need a happy medium. I would appreciate a revision of at all possible.

Target/aiming at a prop should make it glow the designated color. Perhaps there is a way to make it go

Do This and do that

NOPE I TAKE THAT BACK

IM STILL GETTING A OVERFLOW OF ERRORS EVEN AFTER THE REVISION.

[Neku]

Like I said, it's running much harder than intended.

[ChaosWolf]

Yea I can see that, but how to fix it... That is the question. Even a revised version would be appreciated.

[ChaosWolf]

so everyone just gave up on it?
