Came in handy about 30 minutes after I installed it. lol.
Some pyro was camping blu spawn on gravelpit just spamming flares.

Please note the addition of v1.2, with the following changes:

• Update flare extinguishing method to avoid removing active flares
• Fixed bug in which multiple timers may be created on non-24/7 servers

If you're running the plugin on a non-24/7 server, I highly recommend updating.

Thx Floor_master

The plugin doesn't seem to work right, when i check the default rate is seems to be 180 min and not 180 sec.

14:47:32 "sm_fe_rate" = "180" min. 0.000000
          - Interval, in seconds, to wait between extinguishing flares

[bl4nk]

That's saying the minimum value accepted is 0.00000, not that it's counted in minutes.

how does this one work compared to the original.

[DontWannaName]

It doesnt remove flares too early I think?

[FLOOR_MASTER]

Yes - v1.2 basically allows newly-created flares up to two seconds to fly and hit their target before being removed automatically. It's still technically possible for midair flares to be removed prematurely, but highly unlikely.

More importantly, v1.2 fixes a timing bug unrelated to the flare-removing technique.

I suggest something like this:

new Float:flareposition[MAXENTITIES][3]

public Timer()
    {
    for(loop all entities)
        {
        if(!isflare(entity))
            continue
        
        new Float:newposition[3]= GetPosition(entity)
        
        if(newposition==flareposition[entity])
            removeflare(entity)
        else
            flareposition[entity]= newposition
        }
    }

So it will simply check if all flares in the map moved. If a flare didn't move, it means it's stuck and has to be removed. It may soundlike it consumes more resources, but the timer frequency can be something higher like 10 or 30 seconds.
