Heyo.

I'm looking for a plugin that will ping the bomb after a (maybe set by cvar?) seconds at the dropped location, and stop once it's picked up. My friend is running a map without a radar (which many custom maps don't have), and some times it can be difficult to find the location of the bomb.

I don't know if it's possible to control the amount of pings per seconds as well, but if possible, it should ping with a 5 second interval.

I hope somebody can help me out. Good day.

Like a beacon that blinks every 5 seconds?

Looks promising, I'll give it a try and let you know, ty.

Edit: Compiled it, doesn't seem to work.

Anybody got a clue on why the above isn't working?

Nothing pops up in the error logs, and the plugin loads on the sm plugins list.

Ok it worked for a round (random round) and not again, but the beacon was below ground for some reason.
