Dynamic Gunship Glow

Description
READ THE DESCRIPTION!

Pasted description from GameBanana.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I love the glowing effects that is present on most of the Combine's tech
and Synth units, but i always found it strange that even after being killed and
blown to pieces, the gunship always kept glowing, despite the fact that mechanical
things tend to stop working after being destroyed. After playing MMOD i noticed the
Combine Soldiers had a new effect where the goggles would turn off when killed,
I took a look at the VMT files to see how to recreate the effect, and since phong needs
to be activated in order to make the effect work, i did a little facelift to the shading
effects, and to add more, the texture i used as a base for the "turned off"
version came from the Beta Leak, wich features a texture double the size from the
one on retail HL2. I also improved the insect-like propellers visible when the Gunship is
immobile, based on the effects from the EP2 antlion worker's wings, its normal map is all new.
Sadly, im not too experienced in the more advanced parts of modding, so i couldn't create
a new normal map for the base gunship model and theres only so much i can do editing
shader parameters, so this will have to do.

The glowing effect works whenever the gunship is an active NPC, wether it be
attacking the player or doing a scripted sequence. The effect will stop whenever
it is applied to a non-NPC object, like a ragdoll, gibs or map props.

This adds gunship glow almost like the one with Combine Soldiers in HL2: MMOD.
This is a gamebanana reupload, i uploaded so it could be used for GMOD. If the author wants to take this down, or wants to be listed as a contributor, i will do.

I wish someone would make this for the soldiers, the mmod reskin on the workshop is too shiny for me.

does this only make so that the gunship glows when alive but stops glowing when dead or just improves the texture and also does the dynamic glow? since in some of the pics, it seems like it also makes the gunship look with better textures

Idea: when they get damaged they glow red

You guys remember the giant gunship in the citadel?

Is there a way to make the ragdoll glow?
