To prevent them from rolling, check if they are immune, block them from dealing damage via goomba stomps, etc.

I figured as much. Including THAT extreme measure of compatibility with other plugins is not a main goal at this time though.

I was thinking some sort of particle effect that follows the player, similar to the slight glow provided by sm_spyvision or the glow that appears when a player rolls the RTD effect Scary Bullets. I don't want to interfere other plugins that change alpha, change models, etc.

That's my next priority; I have a feeling that it's going to be more difficult than anything else so far was.

Already done, that was included in the original version posted by Dyl0n.

Right now they are hooked upon joining the server, I believe. Would I just be able to duplicate that to OnPluginStart?

Change this:

public OnClientPutInServer(client)
{
	SDKHook(client, SDKHook_OnTakeDamage, OnTakeDamage);
	SDKHook(client, SDKHook_WeaponSwitch, OnWeaponSwitch);
}

To this?:

public OnPluginStart(client)
{
	[OTHER STUFF THAT HAPPENS OnPluginStart]
	HookNewClient(client);
}

public OnClientPutInServer(client)
{
	HookNewClient(client);
}

public OnPluginEnd(client)
{
	if (ClientIsFriendly[client]) {
		MakeClientHostile(client);
	}
}

HookNewClient(const client) {
	SDKHook(client, SDKHook_OnTakeDamage, OnTakeDamage);
	SDKHook(client, SDKHook_WeaponSwitch, OnWeaponSwitch);
}

Again, keep in mind that I've only been using SourcePawn for 3 days, lol.
