Since 57a8b64, the Sentry Gun's shield became a client entity that is moveparented to the Sentry Gun, which made it inherit the glow, entirely occluding the Sentry Gun's own glow. This prevents the shield from having a glow.

Though an unintended side effect of a change, it isn't necessarily a bad one I feel. Is there a particular reason the original behavior should be maintained? |
Since the shield masks the sentry model's glow outline, the player loses information on what level the sentry is, which IMO is more important than knowing whether it is wrangled or not. |

Is there a chance there could be a toggle, or perhaps a way to display both Wrangler shield and Sentry Gun? I quite like the big circle, but I do see how not having the level visible is an issue. |
