Description

Creates a colored beam ring on player jump.

Found a similar plugin in a L4D2 community server once, but since I couldn't find the author source code, I made a similar one.

May be useful since sometimes players used to jump to draw attention to something, or to track clients jumps on speed running and bhop challenging maps.

Features

• Allow clients to configure their color by menu or RGB args. (stored in cookies)
• Allow configuring which teams should trigger the jump beam ring.
• Allow configuring the beam model/color/alpha/duration/start & end radius/width/amplitude/offset.
• Allow configuring by client flag.
• Beam only transmitted to teammates.

Cvars

A configuration file named "l4d_jump_beamring.cfg" will automatically be created for you upon the first run in the "\cfg\sourcemod\" folder.

PHP Code:

// Beam alpha transparency.

Nice plugin, good job!
