[TF2] Respawn Effects

Hello there! This is my first ever plugin i ever made in SourceMod. So don't flame me pls

This plugin adds a particle effect when a player respawns along with a sound. It can be customized to have 2 different particles on each Team the player is (BLU and RED). It also has support for donators! You can use custom sounds too! That's all it's purpose.

Be sure to leave suggestions and if there's a bug leave it below!


ConVars

Spoiler

• sm_respawnsfx_version <version number> - Don't touch this! >
• sm_rsfx_bluparticle <particle_name>(Default: teleportedin_blue) - Sets the particle name for the BLU team when a player respawns.
• sm_rsfx_redparticle <particle_name>(Default: teleportedin_red) - Sets the particle name for the RED team when a player respawns.
• sm_rsfx_donorparticle <particle_name>(Default: eotl_pyro_pool_explosion) - Sets the particle name for when a donator respawns.
• sm_rsfx_sound <sound path>(Default: items/spawn_item.wav) - Sound to play when respawning.
• sm_rsfx_donorsound <sound path>(Default: weapons/teleporter_send.wav) - Sound to play when a donator respawns.

Overrides

Spoiler

• respawnsfx_donator - Marks that the player is a donator (Applies the donation particles and sounds)

Requirements

• Sourcemod 1.7+

Credits

Part of the code has been provided by L. Duke to create temporary particle effects. Code can be found right here. Everything else was made by me!

Changelog

Version 3.2 Spoiler - Fixed console prints for fake particle creations. (a.k.a: leaving the cvars blank) - Code transition to new syntax. (finally) Version 3.1 Spoiler - Fixed code a bit (Thanks ddhoward and Nanochip!) Version 3.0 Spoiler - Removed the default particle convar. - Added support for donators. - Added override for donators. Version 2.0 Spoiler - Added feature to have sounds when respawning. - Changed code to prevent possible crashes (Thanks Drixevel!) Version 1.0 Spoiler - Initial release

This looks cool. One question: Can you add admin flags?

I have a server and would love to be able to give my donators another cool perk!

Updated this to be fully 1.7 SourcePawn Transitional Syntax, also removed some unnecessary code.

Well, I was talking more like.... only donators have respawn effects. But still having the option for donators having a different effect (and sound) is still good.

Thanks a lot

Well, i could make a convar to disable normal respawns but that's dumb.

[ddhoward]

You could just leave the cvars blank? Or would this cause runtime errors? (i haven't read the code at all)

Also, THANK YOU for doing it properly and using an override to specify who is and is not a donator.

Thanks man! I tought of the override since it would not be nice for people who want to mess with the feature a bit.

Nah, I won't leave them blank. It won't cause runtime errors but there has to be a default for them ;)

Again thanks for the feedback

[ddhoward]

No, I mean the server operator who wants to have no respawn effect for regular users can make the cvar blank on his end.
