When player get flashed twice or more exactly same flash duration, it not increase player blind time or worse, not get flashed!



What this plugin do:
- it hook event player_blind to get player who get flashed
- It change flash duration time little each time, random between +0.01 - 0.1

cvars

sm_fix_flash "1" //Enable plugin fix flashbang flash duration

Comment
if this plugin conflict other plugins or get trouble. So others can know.


*edit
Another version = css_fix_flash_bug_log version 0.15 For those who want follow would this bug happen.
- This version check player previous flash duration to new one.
When durations match, it log in file ...addons/soucemod/logs/css_flash_fix.log
L 12/06/2011 - 07:41:13: Player Bacardi BF3<62><STEAM_0:1:14xxxx><> blinded same flash duration 3.827183
Then make little fix.

Nice find (and correction) Bacardi.

This is really rare situation after all.
But clever players could find good place where he flash itself first time then throw second flashbang when someone is coming.

I could add one feature...
m_flFlashDuration storage previous flash duration before new one, and when player get killed or spawn it reset 0.000
So check when old and new flash duration are same and log these action, then fix.
For curiosity look would this happen.

OMG this is the reason why in some cases some people don't get flashes.

Thanks for the great fix Bacardi. Oh VALVe... -.-

what's not so funny is it isn't that uncommon to get hit with a flash that has the same duration as a previous flash... it's happened to me numerous times where just the pop near the flashbang went off but I wasn't flashed...

thanks again for this fix
