Hello, I wanted to know another way to add the sprite to a temp entity, at least I know currently 2, I want to use the 2nd option, but, if I have 2 plugins, and I use the same sprite, I would have to precache the same sprite twice , and I don't want to use engfunc, what other option do I have?

PHP Code:

        message_begin(0, SVC_TEMPENTITY);
        write_byte(TE_SPRITE);
        write_coord_f(Origin[0]);
        write_coord_f(Origin[1]);
        write_coord_f(Origin[2]);
        write_short( engfunc( EngFunc_ModelIndex, SPR ) );
        write_byte(Scale);
        write_byte(Brillo);
        message_end(); 


PHP Code:

new SPRITE
SPRITE = precache_model( "sprites/black.spr" );

        message_begin(0, SVC_TEMPENTITY);
        write_byte(TE_SPRITE);
        write_coord_f(Origin[0]);
        write_coord_f(Origin[1]);
        write_coord_f(Origin[2]);
        write_short(SPRITE);
        write_byte(Scale);
        write_byte(Brillo);
        message_end();

The precaching functionality only precaches each file once regardless of how many plugins require it. See this thread for this same question with the answer.
