Well, i got request from one of my comrades, and made this small utility.

CVARS
l4d_dmeter_version Plugin version
l4d_dmeter_enabled (Default 1, enabled) Enabled/Disabled cvar


Commands for 1.1 version: /distance or !distance in chat will activate distance calculating timer which will print distance into center text (above crosshair) for crouching hunters.

1.2 version works with SM 1.3 only, but is more convenient, as it activates whenever hunter crouching

1.3 version added, see changelog.

Credits
One of my comrades for idea.
Atomic Striker for info.
And p3tsin for this thread http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthr...168#post885168
Everyone on the alliedmods.net.
Valve for great game.

Things to do
Change infected type detection from GetClientModel to class property.

Changelog

1.1 Included trace system, using trace functions (thanx Atomic Striker), try new version. Should get distance between anything.
1.2 SM 1.3 version - autoactivates when hunter crouch.
1.3 Modified by Dragonshadow. Will compile as 1.2 or 1.3 version depending on your SM version. Added enabled/disabled cvar. Take a note - if you compile on forum it will be compiled as 1.2 version. EDIT: To make it more clear - 1.2 version now uses OnGameFrame and autoactivating on crouching.

And, right after this.

One more question - is it possible to calculate distance between client and spot where he is aiming at?
Btw, forgot version cvar

[AtomicStryker]

PHP Code:

    decl Float:vAngles[3], Float:vOrigin[3], Float:vStart[3], Float:Distance;
    
    GetClientEyePosition(client,vOrigin);
    GetClientEyeAngles(client, vAngles);
    
     new Handle:trace = TR_TraceRayFilterEx(vOrigin, vAngles, MASK_SHOT, RayType_Infinite, TraceEntityFilterPlayer);
    
    if(TR_DidHit(trace))
    {        
        TR_GetEndPosition(vStart, trace);
        Distance = GetVectorDistance(vOrigin, vStart, false);
    }

That simple? lol. Thanx. I will include it in code then.

is it possible to hook it to the reload or crouch key or something so that you don't have to stop and type?

Yes, dont know why reload key though. Crouch is better of course, i will release few new versions, and you test.

[Zverina]

arg no i must test this lulz this plugin seems perfect for the hunter brutal pounce plugin

[olj]

Ok, the 1.1 version works and its much better. I will add version for sourcemod 1.3 which will activate this on hunter crouch without need of any commands.

EDIT: Added SM 1.3 version REALLY AWESOME, at least i like it personally and never remove from my plugins

[Guinn]

oh very nice! thanks. i modified it to do feet and added feet to the output. i did this to match my pounce announce output. it might be a good idea to give the option for units, metric, feet

Looks good. Only issue is your public cvar.

You have a public cvar in your code:

PHP Code:

CreateConVar("l4d_distance_meter_version", PLUGIN_VERSION, "Version of Distance Meter", FCVAR_PLUGIN|FCVAR_SPONLY|FCVAR_REPLICATED|FCVAR_NOTIFY); 


...but... it's to long. I think the top is 24chars. That's technically ok, but game-monitor.com will truncate it.

The other problem is you did not include this (your public) cvar in the posts description.

Fix and it will be approved.

Thanks.
