Target glow
 

I used the "search" button, but couldn't find similiar plugin, sorry if plugin allready exists :)

Description:
While a player (any player) aims at another player (target), target will glow only for aimer (glow color depends on team. CT - blue, T - red), and when a player stops aiming, glow will instantly removed :).
Used AddToFullPack method.

Modules:

You should use static because it's called quite often.

About the fade, it doesn't appear for me at all. Glow is removed instantly when stop aiming.

Also I was wondering if it's not better to get the last hit (TR_pHit ) in FM_TraceLine instead of using get_user_aiming().

Re: Target glow
 

Always?

Re: Target glow
 

Yes.

Just tried FM_TraceLine, works, but not so instant like get_user_aiming(..) in function..

Re: Target glow
 

You basically issue get_user_aiming way too often because you do it on updating against every single player in the game (31 times at max) wich is not necessary if you rely on FM_TraceLine. Even if there is minor difference it should not be noticeable in most cases.

Updated to 1.1:
- Added FM_TraceLine instead of get_user_aiming...

Re: Target glow
 

This check is now redundant since you already require the target alive in TraceLine forward:

If you add

at the end of TraceLine the only necessary check on AddToFullPack would be this:

Re: Target glow
 

In TraceLine, I would do only : g_iGlow[ id ] = get_tr2( trace, TR_pHit ); ; since you (should) filter with is_user_alive() in AddToFullPack.
