[L4D2] Random Glow Item [v1.0.7 | 29-May-2022]
 
112 Attachment(s)
L4D2 ONLY

L4D1 version here

Description

This plugin applies a random glow to some items to make them easier to identify on the map.

I used to run this plugin to find places that spawn items.

Features
  • Allow configuring the glow by classname.
  • Allow configuring the glow color (random or specific).
  • Allow configuring the glow type.
  • Allow configuring the glow flashing.
  • Allow configuring the min distance to glow.
  • Allow configuring the max distance to glow.
  • Allow configuring the glow brightness (not accurate).
  • Allow ignoring scavenge gas cans.
  • Fix spawner entities glow.
  • Remove health cabinet glow on open when enabled.

Change Log

Notes
  • Not all entities are able to glow.
  • There isn't an option to make the glow team-based (and I won't support it, only works with cl_fullupdate command when changing teams).
  • The color brightness algorithm maybe need a better calculation. It is used to minimize the number of entities with a weak color that you almost can't see.
  • Hand-equipped items can only glow in the default glow, so the glow is removed while equipping it and restored when dropped.

Thank you!

Answering some questions:
Quote:

1) You can change the glow type attribute to "2", which will glow only when you are able to see the entity, but that doesn't work for all entities, is a game behaviour, nothing that I am able to fix.
2) You can decrease the glowing range with the minrange and maxrange attributes. You still will be able to see through walls but with a decreased range.

Hi, marttt. You didn't judge whether /g_hCvar_ScavengeGascan/ is enabled in /OnNextFrame/ .:)

When players or bots use weapons that you grabbed before- these weapons will glow on it's hands is this normal?
Also how can i disable glows on mounted guns?

Re: [L4D2] Random Glow Item [v1.0.7 | 29-May-2022]
 
There is such a mistake. I am taking the object, but its color still doesn't disappear. It seems like it's there, but there is actually no such object.

IMAGE :

https://ibb.co/WvzH8hf

Note : "// "type" -> Glow type. "0" = OFF, "1" = OnUse (doesn't works), "2" = OnLookAt (doesn't works well for some entities), "3" = Constant (better results but visible through walls)."

I am using Type 2 because I don't want objects to be visible through walls. Have you tried Type 3? Is there no such error there? However, I didn't choose Type 3 because objects would still be visible through walls.

Re: [L4D2] Random Glow Item [v1.0.7 | 29-May-2022]
 
Try with "3" and check if the issue persists, unfortunately glow stuff in L4D2 is very glitchy (specially the type 2).
If still bugs, I will need the map and position to "simulate".
Can't do much to fix the 2 type because the engine was badly coded.
