This common stock

PHP Code:

stock void TE_SetupBSPDecal(const float vecOrigin[3], int entity, int index) 
{
    TE_Start("BSP Decal"); 
    TE_WriteVector("m_vecOrigin", vecOrigin); 
    TE_WriteNum("m_nEntity", entity); 
    TE_WriteNum("m_nIndex", index); 
} 


Will add a decal to any vector position...but they seem to just stack up and once the users decal limit (mp_decals) is reached, understandably, no more decals will show up unless you rejoin/restart. Is there a way to remove the decals created with this stock?

Here is a great example using this stock. From what I can tell it doesn't actually remove it from the map, just the array.

Thanks all!

You could add a life span for x amount of seconds to the decals and maybe a repeating timer to spawn them after they expire. Then later stop the timer if you don't want a specific decal. Just an idea

Thanks LenHard, I have no idea if that is even possible given the provided stock. If this is doable, I am all ears because that would be the perfect solution. The source engine by default when the decal limit is reached will remove the oldest decals first when a new one is spawned. I have no idea why this call in SourceMod seems to bypass that feature and they just stay there.

I see, well I just did quick research and it seems that you can't put a life limit on decals nor get rid of them easily. I'd recommend you to use an entity of some sort, depending on what you're using the decals for, try env_sprite_oriented (that would allow you to be able to kill the entity later on)
