Hello, I really need this plugin because I set the brightness (SetLightStyle) to B on all my maps and it's really dark and I want this to be used as a lantern. I want it to be white, to have a medium radius and to follow the player (Only for CT because Terrorists are invisible and that would be an disadvantage).
I tried to make it myself, but no success so I decied to make an request here.
Thanks in advice

This plugin uses light_dynamic, all I need is a light_dynamic that follows the player.I really tried doing it, but it wasn't successful...
Edit: Sorry for bump, the thread was posted 5 days ago

I believe it would work to create an entity (light_dynamic) and set its targetname to the client ID or something like that.

Or you could use SetParent?

edit: Check this link, it doesn't create a light_dynamic, but you could change that.

I tryed, IDK what is wrong..
I hooked Event_OnPlayerSpawn

PHP Code:

public OnPluginStart()
{
/////////////// bla bla //////////////////
    HookEvent("player_spawn", Event_OnPlayerSpawn);
} 


PHP Code:

public Action Event_OnPlayerSpawn(Handle event, const char[] name, bool dontBroadcast)
{
    int client = GetClientOfUserId(GetEventInt(event, "userid"));
    if (IsValidClient(client, true) && GetClientTeam(client) != 1)
    {
///////////// bla bla bla ///////////////////
        else if (GetClientTeam(client) == CS_TEAM_CT)
        {
            MakeLightDynamic(client);
//////////// some other things /////////// (thoose things are working, that means it's good here)
        }
    }
} 


There's the wrong part:

PHP Code:

MakeLightDynamic(client)
{
    decl String:iTarget[16];
    Format(iTarget, 16, "client%d", client);
    DispatchKeyValue(client, "targetname", iTarget);
    decl Float:Origin[3];
    GetClientEyePosition(client,Origin);
    Origin[2] += 25.0;
    new Ent = CreateEntityByName("light_dynamic");
    DispatchKeyValue(Ent, "_light", "0 0 0 255");
    DispatchKeyValue(Ent, "brightness", "1");
    DispatchKeyValueFloat(Ent, "spotlight_radius", 32.0);
    DispatchKeyValueFloat(Ent, "distance", 10.0);
    DispatchKeyValue(Ent, "style", "0");
    DispatchKeyValue(Ent, "rendercolor", "255 255 255");
    DispatchSpawn(Ent);
    TeleportEntity(Ent, Origin, NULL_VECTOR, NULL_VECTOR);
    SetVariantString(iTarget);
    AcceptEntityInput(Ent, "SetParent", Ent, Ent, 0);

    return Ent;
} 


When the CT is spawning, there is no light around him...

int makeLightDynamic(int entity, float pos[3]) 
{ 
    pos[2] += 50.0; 
    int Ent = CreateEntityByName("light_dynamic"); 
    DispatchKeyValue(Ent, "_light", "150 50 200 255"); 
    DispatchKeyValue(Ent, "brightness", "2"); 
    DispatchKeyValueFloat(Ent, "spotlight_radius", 64.0); 
    DispatchKeyValueFloat(Ent, "distance", 3500.0); 
    DispatchKeyValue(Ent, "style", "0"); 
    DispatchKeyValue(Ent, "rendercolor", "150 50 200"); 
    DispatchSpawn(Ent); 
    TeleportEntity(Ent, pos, NULL_VECTOR, NULL_VECTOR); 
    SetVariantString("!activator"); 
    AcceptEntityInput(Ent, "SetParent", entity, Ent, 0); 

    return Ent; 
}

I've edited your snipped to a working one~

I do not recommend to use far light distance as it will cause huge cpu spikes for every player!!

Yeah.. the fps went down from 500 to like 60. But it works^^

He wants it only for making the map more bright on B spot? Then why not putting one of this at the spot instead of every player..
