The way the physgun does effects is perfect for what I'm trying to accomplish. I'd prefer to have the client differentiate the effect instead of using an entity on the server as I would have better control over the actual attachment. The problem is I haven't found a way to create a particle effect that would resemble flame that would suffice client side.
Essentially I'm creating the ability for the player to throw fireballs. Since there is no weapon in hand, I'm using a modified version of the old gravity gloves mod for garrys mod as a weapon. Basically just Gordon's animated hand with attachment points that are the same as the physgun...for first person POV anyway. Right now for world view I'm just using melee player animations with no weapon, to simulate throwing. Using a modified RocketTrail works perfect for the actual projectile, but what I want to end up doing is have a "burning hand", both in first person POV and in world view. As I'm at work and havent had a chance to test this, is I used animated VTF's (similar to how sprays can be animated) as sprites attached to a weapon, would they still animate?
