Im trying to make a plugin that adds a trail of individual animated smoke poofs. But here's the problem, find_ent_by_class only returns 1 entity match per execution and fm_find_ent_by_class doesn't work worth a damn. I also can't multi-task origins in the same code execution. Everything has to be able to handle multiple indexes at the same time to work the way I want it. But as it is now, it can only handle 1 rocket at a time.

For loop doesn't do any good. It just loops over the same entity if there's only 1 causing redundant sprite overlapping.

PHP Code:
new Ent[33]
new 
Float:Origin[3]
new 
iOrigin[3]
public 
RocketTrail(id)
{
    
    
Ent[id] = find_ent_by_class(-1"tf_rpg_rocket")
    
//fm_find_ent_by_class(Ent, "tf_rpg_rocket")
    //get_user_origin(id, Origin)
    
entity_get_vector(Ent[id], EV_VEC_origin,Origin);
    
//Origin = pev(Ent,pev_origin)
    
iOrigin[0] = floatround(Origin[0])
    
iOrigin[1] = floatround(Origin[1])
    
iOrigin[2] = floatround(Origin[2])
    
client_print(id,print_chat"Entity: %d (%d)",EntiOrigin[0])
    
    
message_begin(MSG_BROADCASTSVC_TEMPENTITY);
    
write_byte(17);
    
write_coord(iOrigin[0]);
    
write_coord(iOrigin[1]);
    
write_coord(iOrigin[2]);
    
write_short(DustSpr)
    
write_byte(0.5);
    
write_byte(250);
    
message_end(); 
Here's the problem trying to have multiple origin indexs at the same time.
PHP Code:
new Ent[33]
new 
Float:Origin[3][33]
new 
iOrigin[3][33]
public 
RocketTrail(id)
{
    
    
Ent[id] = find_ent_by_class(-1"tf_rpg_rocket")
    
//fm_find_ent_by_class(Ent, "tf_rpg_rocket")

    
entity_get_vector(Ent[id], EV_VEC_origin,Origin[id]); // This line here it won't allow multi-origin array. Origin[id] gets a compiler error because the [id] is interpreted as part of the x,y,z array yet cant have Origin[0][id] either. This has run me into a dead end for multi-origin indexing.
    //Origin = pev(Ent,pev_origin)
    
iOrigin[0][id] = floatround(Origin[0][id])
    
iOrigin[1][id] = floatround(Origin[1][id])
    
iOrigin[2][id] = floatround(Origin[2][id])
    
client_print(id,print_chat"Entity: %d (%d)",EntiOrigin[0][id])
    
    
message_begin(MSG_BROADCASTSVC_TEMPENTITY);
    
write_byte(17);
    
write_coord(iOrigin[0][id]);
    
write_coord(iOrigin[1][id]);
    
write_coord(iOrigin[2][id]);
    
write_short(DustSpr)
    
write_byte(0.5);
    
write_byte(250);
    
message_end();
