I try to show player positions with TE_BOX and it seems there is some client side limitations on this message. In the attached screenshot you can see that box covers only 4 players and 1 box edge was not rendered (player "Killer Apple"). At the same time when I use TE_GLOWSPRITE I can show many more than 16 sprites (player positions) but I kind to like this box effect. Is there any client side cvar or anything that can disable or increase limitations applied to TE_BOX?

Sorry, posted wrong script.
Try this:

PHP Code:

nice code @georgik57, tested, few lines in code must be added


lines must be added, example of sprite:

new model

public plugin_precache()
{
    model = precache_model( "sprites/zbeam4.spr" )
}
//
and later for using this stock:

set_task( 0.1, "fwTaskEntShowSize", YOUR_ENT_ID, .flags = "b" )
