[HELP] Change Duration of Smoke

Greetings! How's everyone doing these days?

Anyway getting right into it. Is it possible to shorten the smoke's life from a smoke grenade? I've searched high and low for this,and tried different keywords. There was one thread that asked exactly the same but it was unanswered...

EDIT:

PHP Code:


		
			
set_pev(iEntity, pev_nextthink, get_gametime() + 3.0);

I saw this code that might be able to remove the smoke faster. But I don't know how to get smoke entity itself, or if the smoke is even an entity...

Re: [HELP] Change Duration of Smoke

The smoke is created using a message(TE_SMOKE or something, can't check rn). You have to block the original message and send your own. This way you can customize the duration.

Will try that. It just occurred to me to look into the Colored Smokes plugin. There it uses TE_FIREFIELD. I'll try that first then TE_SMOKE if it doesn't work. I also found out if I remove the grenade world model the explosion doesn't happen. That's one way to block it I guess. Thank you for replying...
