Laser Tag for L4D(2)

Hi guys, I'm back just releasing a small plugin I adapted from somewhere quite a while back then saw another plugin (can't remember the name) which had this, but wasn't quite how I'd liked it implemented.

So I remade the plugin and here's Laser Tag for L4D2 (L4D untested but should work in theory)

(Yes I know there's another Laser Tag plugin but that only works for CS:S - I tried)

Shotguns (every single pellet), Rifles, SMGs, Sniper Rifles, Pistols supported and can be disabled by convar.
Melee weapons and grenades are disabled.

Configurable Variables:

• Laser Colour (Red, Green, Blue):

  l4d_lasertag_red
  l4d_lasertag_green
  l4d_lasertag_blue

• Bots' Laser Colour (Red, Green, Blue):

  l4d_lasertag_bots_red
  l4d_lasertag_bots_green
  l4d_lasertag_bots_blue

• Laser options (Width, Life, Transparency, Offset):

  l4d_lasertag_width
  l4d_lasertag_life
  l4d_lasertag_alpha
  l4d_lasertag_bots_alpha
  l4d_lasertag_offset

• Enability (Enabled, Versus/Scavenge, Realism):

  l4d_lasertag_enable
  l4d_lasertag_vs
  l4d_lasertag_realism

• Gun Types (Shotguns, Rifles, SMGs, Sniper Rifles, Pistols):

  l4d_lasertag_shotguns
  l4d_lasertag_rifles
  l4d_lasertag_smgs
  l4d_lasertag_snipers
  l4d_lasertag_pistols

• Bots can Laser Tag?

  l4d_lasertag_bots

Changelog

Yes I've seen the suggestion of having different colours for each character. I feel it'll make the plugin a little more complicated than it needs to be but I'll consider! (:

what does this mean ? i can change the color of the laser sight ?

PS: sorry im a noob

[Whosat]

Nope, everytime you fire a bullet, it will draw a laser from your gun to the point where the bullet hit something.

[dani1341]

ah i got it hope it wont make lags xD

[Whosat]

Hope it doesn't either!

[Searcher64]

Laser pistols? lol

[Whosat]

lol, yes actually haha but it does nothing more than just draw a laser sprite. No extra damage or any vapourisation.

Oh speaking of which, does anyone if the hl2 vapourisation effect is available in l4d2?

could you make a cvar for only grenade trail because i dont like it but would be cool for the grenade

[Whosat]

Ah I haven't got a way to make grenade trails and grenade launcher trails. That isn't in this plugin yet but its planned

Does anyone know whether grenades are entities which can be tagged on by TE_SetupBeamFollow? What about those fired from grenade_launchers?

[NoPaSs[BG]]

could you make please one cvar to this plugin be enabled ONLY for grenades
