[TF2] Medic Secondary Fire With Heal Gun
 
I'm not a skilled coder (yet) but I was thinking of an idea where the medics could use right-click to supply ammo to their teammates. Is this something that is within the abilities of sourcemod? If possible also adding maybe a grey colored beam that leads to the player just like the blue one when you heal someone. This is just an idea for any of you go-getter coders.

Good news, its possible to do, but I don't know about the grey beam. Theme messed around with supplying a medic beam in his randomizer plugin. Looks like it was possible. (Nevery personally tried the plugin) I'm not sure whether you can change the render color of a particle.

You can always create a new particle and send it to the clients via the downloads table.

Oooh that sounds cool. And useful. But it should take away from your uber.

You cant precache a beam with a plugin, it wont precache on the client. Only available methods are a) have the clients all add it to their manifest or b) create a custom map, and pack it into the maps manifest.

Either way is not a good solution, so they gray beam is pretty much out. You could figure out other cool effects to do though.

It's possible but once the client downloads your particle manifest that's it you can't add or change any more particles but anyways this is how you would do it.

Have a particle manifest with the map name:
It would be saved in the maps folder
Code:

cp_dustbowl_particles.txt
In that manifest place the particle(s) name:
Code:

particles_manifest
{
  "file"  "!particles/toxictrail.pcf"
}

Use this plugin to have it download when a new client connects:

Modify SM_Downloader's Download.ini:
Code:

//Don't modify or remove the Comment Lines ( // )
//Files (Download Only No Precache)
maps/cp_dustbowl_particles.txt

That'll be all, this is the end effect:

Come to think of it I really don't know if SM_Downloader is necessary, bah I don't feel like messing with it but that method has worked for me for about a month.

Seems pretty weak. You have to hope your the first plugin to do that to the client, or else they wont see it.

Yeah that's a good idea too. For every positive there should be a negative to keep it balanced.
