Knife Blink v1.1
by pharse

Description:

Allows players to move rapidly towards other players over a certain distance with their knife equipped while holding down the attack button.
Some may know this feature from the plasma sword of the first person shooter 'Halo'.

I called it "blink" following a skill in the RTS-Game Warcraft 3, where one can move "in a blink of a moment".

Usage:
Just aim at another player near you with your knife equipped and press and hold the attack button (specified by the server admin) to blink to that player.

Features:

• ingame help motd
• godmode during blink
• glow effect during blink (customizable glow color)
• notification message when blink performed and when it is ready again
• custom blink damage

CVars:

amx_kb_enable <0/1> default: 1 -- dis-/enables the plugin

amx_kb_distance <integer> default: 350 -- distance over which players can blink

amx_kb_speed <float> default: 1000.0 -- speed with which players blink

amx_kb_attackmode <0/1/2> default: 0 -- determins which attack button invokes blink. 1=primary attack, 2=secondary attack, 0=both
