Auto-reconnect for particles [ZR]

Hey, as you guys may know, if a player downloads map for first time, you can't see particles till you rejoin the server

I've seen servers like PSE have auto-rejoin, where a player joins server and auto-rejoins the first time you reach the server.

Does such a plugin exist in public or can someone code it? Seems fairly simple

Re: Auto-reconnect for particles [ZR]

The best solution is to use ExtraParticleFilesTable which can force the client to load all custom particles on the first time download, but I couldn't make it work for two or more players at the same time, maybe you will figure out. Good luck

#include <sourcemod>

#pragma semicolon 1

}

public Action Reconnect(Handle timer, any client)

        ClientCommand(client, "retry");
    }
}

stock bool IsValidClient(int client)
{
    if(client <= 0 ) return false;

    if(IsClientReplay(client)) return false;
    if(IsClientSourceTV(client)) return false;
    return IsClientInGame(client);
}

I tried but I think SetClientCookie is not working properly. Correct the code if you can please :)

I imagine this is a very slow an unoptimized way of checking each client.

Also with enough maps added into a single cookie it would probably hit max length and stop working?

Could you post the code for this?
