Description:

• Protection provides a simple method of providing spawn protection utilizing SDKHooks to prevent all damage done to a player up until their protection expires.
• Notice: Requires SDKHooks

Features:

• Protection can decay over time, so that clients who spawn late do not receive the full length of spawn protection.
• If enabled, a client's protection will be disabled immediately after firing their weapon.
• Depending on the setting, a player with/without protection may be protected from all fall damage, no fall damage, or all non-fatal fall damage.
• Depending on the setting, a player may be protected from all damage, no damage, or damage dealt by other players after the round has ended.
• Ability assign a pre-protection and post-protection render/color combination to all clients. (This has dozens of uses, such as making protected clients invisible, changing their color to match their team, and many more).
• You can assign a punishment to inflict upon the attacker who attacks protected clients, such as instant slaying or losing x amount of health.
• Disable protection for a specific team, making it great for Zombie type servers!

Coloring / Rendering:

• Please see the following post for information about the render/color combinations.
• Notice: several of the effects and render combinations do nothing in CS:S, while others have some of their full effect. You will have to conduct a bit of trial and error to find a unique effect should you wish, as I've listed no additional information concerning them.
