Alternate Shading for Retail Grenades

Also in GMod!

Thrown grenades in HL2 have a selfillum applied that gives it a fullbright-like appearance. It's seemingly a leftover from another iteration that may or may not have been intended to stay with the design we currently have, but made it anyways.

Only active grenades have this kind of radiating light; inactive grenades from supply crates have envmap shading instead, which is more consistent with most of the other weapon worldmodels.

This replaces the thrown shading with the item shading. Maybe it's more challenging, but I think the neon red light with a trail on it already calls out the grenade enough...
