I didn't refer to visually rendering it. Just rendering and eating up client performance even if invisible. That's why a small sprite file(which can also be precached as a model) is preferred over a 3d model.

A single entity is also a very good optimization since it's a very limited engine we're working with.

As for the complicated part what i meant is i don't see the point of messing with damage and/or tracelines(as far as i understood, that's how your plug-in works). Sorry if i misunderstood and ignore this part if so.
