    Make a monster_furniture, select the model and change the Render FX to Hologram and the Render Mode to Additive

    Then, if you want to make player go through it and make it not bleed, make sure you check the "MonsterClip" flag.

    Hope it helps...

    Edit: Ok, you found it anyways

    And for repeating brush based holograms you might try out the .map-file hack. Create one hologram as an entity export to map (but don't compile) open the map in a text editor search for your holo entity and duplicate it by changing the origin values. This way you have only one holo-model at compile time and in the .bsp, but as many as you want in-game ... of course still as many entities.

    This way you could also reuse a func_door as a func_wall or a func_breakable or something, if you find any use for that... <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I like using cycler instead of monster_furniture because the monster one will sink into the ground sometimes and it has weird properties while the cycler is easier and straight forward.
