hi guys. im trying to create beam with an simple sprite. code is executed ingame but nothing is created...here is the code of it:

PHP Code:

new origin[3];
    get_user_origin(id, origin, 3);
         
    message_begin( MSG_ALL, SVC_TEMPENTITY, { 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 }, id );
    write_byte( TE_BEAMPOINTS );
    write_coord( origin[0] ); //start-x
    write_coord( origin[1] );// y
    write_coord( origin[2] );// z
    write_coord( origin[0]+100 );// end - x
    write_coord( origin[1] ); //y 
    write_coord( origin[2] ); //z
    write_short( sprite )    // sprite index
    write_byte(0)        // starting frame
    write_byte(1)        // frame rate
    write_byte(5)        // life
    write_byte(10)        // line width
    write_byte(0)        // noise
    write_byte(255);        // red
    write_byte(200);        // green
    write_byte(0);        // blue
    write_byte(200)
    write_byte(0);    
    message_end()

PHP Code:

message_begin( MSG_ALL, SVC_TEMPENTITY, { 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 }, id ); 


=>

PHP Code:

message_begin(MSG_ONE_UNRELIABLE, SVC_TEMPENTITY, _, id);

Also remove id cause its MSG_ALL

get_user_origin's third parameter is which type of origin you want, 3rd is aiming, zero is just players origin
