Omit the a in "ae". The link shows you what the letters mean for future reference.

get_players(players,playercount,"ae", glowteam)

"a" - do not include dead clients

Also use MSG_ONE instead of MSG_ONE_UNRELIABLE, if you have to as a last resort. It will work MUCH better but at expense of server stability.

Yet, the same, i die, change team, and i can't use F, no glow, no sprite.

Enable debug with glow_debug 1. Made an adjustment. Updated old post with the code to test.

I tried to compile with 1.8.2 that code u have posted and i get this:

//

I also compiled with 1.9 and i compiled it, and it runs on server but i have same problem with not showing sprite after dying in same round until new comes.

Switch print_radio to print_chat. My bad. Will update script when I get a moment.
I got that and another spot corrected for 182.

I fixed this line and compiled it after but it's same situation with not displaying glow after changing team or dying.

Looking at that. It never compiled. You are inadvertently using old copy on your server. Happens to the best of us. Try the updated code on the post please. There was more than that 1 part that needed finessed once I got to the SMA. It's fine now. I checked from playing the game on 190 to making sure it compiles on 182. I switched teams multiple times and took control of bots but no other real players. Had debug on it said to whom it was sending it to and it matched up. When in 3rd person I could see the red or blue including the teleportation graphics cascading in red or blue to boot.

[sanimare]

I did compiled it and put in server, and it acts the same, i died in same round or switched team and i can't do a signal above my head.

MSG_ONE_UNRELIABLE drops messages. MSG_ONE does not. The trade-off for that mission-critical capacity is less peace of mind knowing that it has a way of kicking clients and shutting down servers if there is no headroom or something else is askew. There are 2 places in script whereby you can try that. When testing with Amx 182 when it did act up last year I had to use the command MAP, to change level, says server is shutting down and kicks everybody to refresh server and get it functioning again. I realize that is not a great plan in the midst of a clan match so do it well ahead of time. You can also seek other less expensive graphics for signaling. Unsure if that was Amx 182 or from me updating script but it was always controllable and temporary. I tested again on Amx 110 and no problem found. Switched from CT to T. Everything works as expected.

Tested again fine with CZ Amx 182.
