Not sure if this is what you're talking about but... Going to throw my 2 cents in, use a for loop and table. Example: ```lua ents_allowed = {} function GM:PhysgunPickup(ply,...

@Kefta Thats not necessarily what the point of my code was, that was a placeholder value. (`render.DrawBeam`) He should save the physgun ray when shot, then use `ply:FireBullets(physgun_ray)` to shoot...
