Saw something like this on a private server and was turned down by the author to be allowed to use it. So, I wrote my own. Big time thanks to
SAMURAI16 for all his help in learning to use the BeamFollow command.
The hidden will be
Green when they have little to no damage,
yellow/orange when they have take around half to 60%, and
Red when things are getting bad.
Known Bugs:(Might be fixed) Occasionally the trail will follow a player after they are hidden and become Iris. I've tried to combat this by using the KillPlayerAttachments function, but even though the Timer creating the trail is toast and the trail really should fade, it does not. It eventually does go away, but can be a distraction sometimes.
