Could someone make a plugin that would allow admins only to view player tags on Realism VS/COOP servers please?

I admin a 10v10 Realism VS and if we get a TeamKiller or someone we need to kick, tracking them down is a hard job.

Options would be nice like the following.

Admins view team Survivor names on round start for x amount of seconds.
Admins view team Infected names on round start for x amount of seconds.
Admins view team Survivor names on round end for x amount of seconds.
Admins view team Infected names on round end for x amount of seconds.
Admins enable player names on or on both teams.

This would be nice.

Thank you.

this seems like a good idea. I'd like to see somthing like this and it doznt sound to hard to make.... id luv to do it if i had any IQ on making plugins lol.

I don't think you can names appear for only one player?

sv_disable_glow_survivors is a server cvar, not client.
Just flick the disable glow cvar on round start and end, hm?

Well we can make a chat text when someone friendly fires.

Wouldn't that cause all players to be able to see each other?

I guess that would work, but later in the game if something happens, turning it on and off would lose the Realism edge for a little while.

I try this later today, if it works, do you think you could possible make a plugin that does this please?

That would work for teamkillers, but it wouldn't for someone who is using the mic and needs to be kicked, but thats a good start.

The latter part ties in my idea here: http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=122724

What about a plugin that lets admins have a command that, when triggered, shows them the name of the player they are looking at.

Like spray tracer, just with people. When I say "shouldn't be hard" I really mean this shouldn't be hard at all.

That's a good idea.

Only allowing one person to see player names is impossible (atleast if you want to see the names over their heads), but I kinda liked your idea about allowing admins to turn on survivor names for x seconds so I wrote something quickly. Use !checkname, !namecheck, !names in chat.
Use l4d2_namedisabletime for when you want the names to dissapear again.

PHP Code:

#include <sourcemod>

#define PLUGIN_VERSION "1.0.0"

new Handle:DisableDelay;

public Plugin:myinfo =
{
     name        = "[L4D2] Realism Name Checker",
     author      = "V!sual",
     description = "Allows admins to turn on names in realism versus",
     version     = PLUGIN_VERSION,
     url         = ""
};

public OnPluginStart()
{
     RegAdminCmd("sm_checkname", RealismCheck, ADMFLAG_CHAT);  
     RegAdminCmd("sm_namecheck", RealismCheck, ADMFLAG_CHAT); 
     RegAdminCmd("sm_names", RealismCheck, ADMFLAG_CHAT);   
     DisableDelay = CreateConVar("l4d2_namedisabletime", "10.0", "Delay before realism versus name check is disabled (float in sec).");
}    

public Action:RealismCheck(client, args)
{
     SetConVarInt(FindConVar("sv_disable_glow_survivors"), 0);

     PrintToChatAll("\x04(ADMIN)\x03 turned on player names for a short time.");
     CreateTimer(GetConVarFloat(DisableDelay), TimerDisableDelay);
} 

public Action:TimerDisableDelay(Handle:timer)
{
     SetConVarInt(FindConVar("sv_disable_glow_survivors"), 1);
     PrintToChatAll("\x04(ADMIN)\x03 turned off player names again.");
}

Awesome, thank you.
