I'm trying to figure out how I can make the sprite's duration a little longer but I am not sure how to do that. Can anyone explain. Thanks

PHP Code:

public show_sprite(iKiller, doublenade_kill)
{  
    if(!is_user_connected(iKiller))
    return PLUGIN_CONTINUE
     
    static origin[3]
    get_user_origin(iKiller, origin)
     
    message_begin(MSG_PVS, SVC_TEMPENTITY, origin)
    write_byte(TE_SPRITE)
    write_coord(origin[0])
    write_coord(origin[1])
    write_coord(origin[2]+65)
    write_short(doublenade_kill)
    write_byte(10)
    write_byte(250)
    message_end()
     
    return PLUGIN_CONTINUE
}

#define TE_SPRITE                   17       // Additive sprite, plays 1 cycle
// write_byte(TE_SPRITE)
// write_coord(position.x)
// write_coord(position.y)
// write_coord(position.z)
// write_short(sprite index) 
// write_byte(scale in 0.1's) 
// write_byte(brightness)

I'm not 100% sure what the 17 means on #define TE_SPRITE. Care to explain a little more.

For your answer i believe it means that you can't change the sprite duration, it will play the animation itself and then will dissapear.

So if I can't change the sprite duration, is there another way I could do this?

I never played with sprites, just give a look here and test them as you can.

I think you can edit sprite and increase count of frames.

Have you tried increasing the scales?

PHP Code:

   message_begin(MSG_PVS, SVC_TEMPENTITY, origin) 
    write_byte(TE_SPRITE) 
    write_coord(origin[0]) 
    write_coord(origin[1]) 
    write_coord(origin[2]+65) 
    write_short(doublenade_kill) 
    write_byte(50) //  scaling from 1 to 5 times
    write_byte(250) 
    message_end() 


Or use this effect if you are trying to play a cyrcle

PHP Code:

/**
 * Screen aligned beam ring, expands to max radius over lifetime
 *
 * @note
 * write_byte(TE_BEAMTORUS)
 * write_coord(position.x)
 * write_coord(position.y)
 * write_coord(position.z)
 * write_coord(axis.x)
 * write_coord(axis.y)
 * write_coord(axis.z)
 * write_short(sprite index)
 * write_byte(starting frame)
 * write_byte(frame rate in 0.1's)
 * write_byte(life in 0.1's)
 * write_byte(line width in 0.1's)
 * write_byte(noise amplitude in 0.01's)
 * write_byte(red)
 * write_byte(green)
 * write_byte(blue)
 * write_byte(brightness)
 * write_byte(scroll speed in 0.1's)

#define TE_BEAMTORUS                19

Thanks for the help. I just decided to edit the sprite itself and make it longer.
