Wall Text
v1.09

Description

This plugin converts chat messages to decals and paints them on the wall. You are limited to capital A-Z and 0-9.

Messages are repainted on client connect and new round.

Usage

Commands:

amx_walltext "I am using walltext yay"
If you don't want to use the menu, you can use this.

amx_walltextmenu or say walltextmenu
This brings up a menu to control the plugin.

Note: Deleted or unsaved decals will disappear on new round.

Special Features:

You can do multiline messages:

Put a comma ( , ) to move down to the next line.

You can display dynamic text:

Edit the walltext-mapname.ini file. Instead of your regular message, type the full path of a text file you want the plugin to read. It will only read the first line and use that as your message.

Note: The path to your file starts in the 'cstrike' directory. To display the first line of your motd.txt, use motd.txt as your message.

Files

The plugin will save messages to:
amxmodx\configs\maps\walltext-mapname.ini

This is the format:
( Origin XYZ, Direction XYZ, Text )

-2313.605468;-1173.158447;0.031257;0.000000;12.000000;0.000000;YOUR MESSAGE HERE

This one will print the first line of your motd.txt:

-2313.605468;-1173.158447;0.031257;0.000000;12.000000;0.000000;motd.txt

Cvars (Regular HL Cvars)

mp_decals 300
It sets the maximum decals* visible on the screen. It has to be set before connection to server. It's not the same as r_decals.

r_decals 4096
It sets the decals* limit. If higher than mp_decals, it will be set to mp_decals value (It's reset to mp_decals value when connecting to server). It's not the same as mp_decals.

*Spray logo, bullet holes, grenade scorch, blood on ground

OMG NICE! +k

[joaquimandrade]

Fuck Alejandro. I was about saying: First.

Nice, stupok. Taking a look at the code now.

Edit:

I've looked at the code now. There isn't much to say. Its pretty straight forward, there's nothing to optimize i guess. The only think i can see that you can modify is in "CreateNewMessage()":

PHP Code:

fAimVector[0] = fAimVector[0] * 9999.0 + fPlayerOrigin[0]
    fAimVector[1] = fAimVector[1] * 9999.0 + fPlayerOrigin[1]
    fAimVector[2] = fAimVector[2] * 9999.0 + fPlayerOrigin[2]
    
    // execute traceline, grab normal vector and end position
    new iTr = create_tr2()
    engfunc( EngFunc_TraceLine, fPlayerOrigin, fAimVector, IGNORE_MONSTERS, id, iTr )
    get_tr2( iTr, TR_vecEndPos, fAimOrigin )
    get_tr2( iTr, TR_vecPlaneNormal, fNormalVector )
    free_tr2( iTr ) 


Changing the 9999.0 to a closer, clearly visible, position, check if the trace "happened" and if don't say something like "You are too distant from a wall".

Nothing, really.

Edit 2:

What about cvars to change the colors/backgrounds of the printed characters?
