Changes:
Code:
2.15 (10-Jan-2024)
- Fixed the saved color not restoring on connection when the cookies are loaded early. Thanks to "Voevoda" for reporting.
- Possibly fixed rare invalid handle errors. Thanks to "Voevoda" for reporting.
2.14 (28-Aug-2022)
- Really fixed invalid handles.
- Explanation: the forward "Attachments_OnWeaponSwitch" triggers when someone disconnects and their weapon drops.
- This triggered the plugin to attempt to create a light for that player while they were disconnecting and still in-game.
- At that point another timer handle was being created but never cleared because they were already disconnecting.
- This happens before OnClientDisconnect_Post. Using a bool to store when someone is disconnecting prevents the bug.

- Changes attempting to fix invalid handles. Thanks to "gongo" and "ur5efj" for reporting.
