Why CloseHandle a cvar?

Also I think that you can set flags to 1 for show to all players (read this) instead of do a loop.

EDIT: Ok you fixed it in the latest version.

I tested in my servers and didn't work the way I did, but I'll try.

Make sure to use OnClientPostAdminCheck rather than OnClientPutInServer if you want it based on flags.
