Hello.

This is my first plugin for Sourcemod. It's for Hunger Games mod in CS:GO.
Every round there's an event that happens to one of the tributes. On the server I play on it's only blue ION beam and I played once on another server where there was molotov rain. I couldn't find the plugin so I wrote my own. I tried to make it as adjustable as possible. Any suggestions and error reports welcome.

Originator of the first molotov rain plugin is zipcore.

ConVars:
sm_molotovnumber "Set number of molotovs falling from the sky." def. 15 min 1 max 30
sm_molotovgravity "Set the gravity of molotovs." def. 100 min 1 max 1000
sm_molotovheight "Set the height from which molotovs will fall." def. 400 min 100 max 1000
sm_molotovinterval "Set the interval between falling molotovs." def. 1.0 min 0.0 max 10.0
sm_molotovtimerstart "Set the minimal time after which the molotovs will fall." def. 90 min 30
sm_molotovtimerend "Set the minimal time before the end of the round before which the molotovs will fall." def. 30 min 0
sm_molotovradius "Set the radius of falling molotovs." def. 200.0 min 0.0 max 500.0
sm_molotovenable "Enable / disable the plugin." def. 1 min 0.0 max 1.0
sm_molotovstart "Start the molotov rain."

You should convert the plugin fully to the new syntax, you even mix it on the same line.
CreateArray(32) would only be useful to store char[32], 1 is enough to store an int as cell.
Rest looks fine, gz.

Thanks @zipcore and @8guawong!

@zipcore I've changed 32 to 1 and rewrote the plugin in the new syntax. If I forgot about sth, please let me know.

@8guawong Thanks for the blue beam plugin. :-)

i tried your plugin but it seems molotov is detonating in the sky before touching the ground
you think you can fix this?

[zipcore]

He added a cvar to adjust the height to spawn them. I guess they are spawning above the skybox and detonating as they touch the skybox.

He could add a traceray with a upwards angled MASK_SOLID to get the distance to the skybox or to check if the player is inside a building etc. I do this and then search a better target.

@8guawong @zipcore I knew that if you set the height above the skybox, it will detonate in mid air. But why not just set sm_molotovheight to a lower value?
As for molotovs hitting buildings, I think that's a good thing - tributes that found a shelter will be rewarded. And if an admin wants molotovs to always hit tributes, he can set the sm_molotovheight to minimal and it will always spawn just above tribute.
What do you think?

// BTW, I've added 1 more convar - molotov radius.

Could you add a disable/enable cvar ?
