virtual

Reimplemented from ncRenderableEntity.

ReceiveEntity()

void env_glow::ReceiveEntity ( float flNew, float flChanged )

virtual

Client: Handles network updates from the server for the associated entity.

Reimplemented from ncRenderableEntity.

ReloadVideoResources()

void env_glow::ReloadVideoResources ( void )

virtual

Client: Called when video resources need to be allocated or reloaded for the entity.

Reimplemented from ncRenderableEntity.

RenderGlow()

Respawn()

void env_glow::Respawn ( void )

virtual

Server: Called when the entity first spawns or when game-logic requests the entity to return to its original spawn state.
