How to Use

Users should bind a key to "+grab" and "+throw" to use.

For example, type this in console:
bind "mouse4" "+grab"
bind "mouse5" "+throw"

Convars

- version

sm_grabber_speed
- multiplier for how fast the object moves (default 10.0)

sm_grabber_distance
- how far away from the player the object stops (default 64.0)
(too small a value prevents the user from moving forward
when holding multiplayer props used in CSS)

sm_grabber_team_restrict
- 0=all teams can use, 2 or 3 to restrict that team (default 0)

sm_grabber_sound
- sound when item is held (use a looping sound)

Good job!

On the one I did for EventScripts last summer, I attached the prop to the player with SetParentAttachmentMaintainOffset.But I like the timer/teleport idea better. It stays in front of the player whereas the attachment method may look good from the players point of view, but to other players it looks like a chest of drawers or whatever is following them!

Think we can use this for a soccer mod? Can another play knock it out of your grip and can u throw it when released?

That's a good point about other players using the same item. I may need to add some code. Right now I think that the player with the highest entity index will be the one to have control if both people lock on.

I also probably need to add a "maximum distance from player" convar so you can't pick up stuff from miles away. A "throw" command would be nice also.

For a soccer mod, you'd probably want to change the position calculation to use the player's absolute origin instead of the eyeangles and implement a very short maximum distance to grab from.

The whole soccer would be terribly greatful if you made a plugin like this. Ever play soccer jams for 1.6? This would get us one step closer to that. Right now, folks use their knife to kick the ball into a goal with no passing or limited control. Your plugin would allow folks to pass a ball, kick it.

How about making this admin flag (ex: z (root)) only through an extra cvar?

Awesome, works like a charm.

Works good. To bad there is nothing to use this on in my icerworld server = (

If it isn't already usable by spectators, can that be made possible?
