Really like this type of plugin, thanks Matt

Genial!
Could you add an option to activate it only in third person? This would compensate that in third person the smoker's smoke has no effect

I see no reason to add this as a feature, I tested and is working in both first/thirdperson.

Ok, no matter. Perhaps simpler is a command to turn this effect on/off for individual players, similar to sm_cloudfade. Could you add it when you do the Team filter that you have in ToDo?

[HarryPotter]

another cool plugin

[Maur0]

Very Nice!

[alasfourom]

Excellent plugin Marttt

[HarryPotter]

Shoud we set model to "trigger_multiple"?
Because I modify "l4d_cloud_screen_fade_size 200" and I feel like trigger area size is not changed.

PHP Code:

    int entity = CreateEntityByName("trigger_multiple");
    ge_bTriggerFade[entity] = true;
    DispatchKeyValue(entity, "spawnflags", "1"); // Clients
    DispatchKeyValue(entity, "allowincap", "1"); // Yes
    DispatchKeyValueVector(entity, "origin", vPos);
    DispatchSpawn(entity);
    SetEntityModel(entity, "models/props/cs_militia/silo_01.mdl");
