I'm pretty sure this plugin isn't the cause of Versus always lagging (for me though). In fact, I'm using it in my servers and I already tested on a local dedicated server with or without this plugin. Seems to me the lags when playing Versus are part of the game's bugs.

Tested by me on 2 servers (local (friend and me) and public with 18 players). The reason it was.
After I disabled the plugin, the players did not complain about the lag.

Well, if that's the case, I'll update this plugin and find out what's causing the lag during "player_death" or "charger_killed" events.

Which version of sourcemod? Have you updated L4D2 or sourcemod, which could cause the problem?

Maybe theres an event missing to clear up the objects which are created for the glow. I think it creates an entity to make it glow rather than making the object itself glow (due to engine limitation/restriction).. I can't remember and haven't looked through the code. If that's the case it could spawn too many and cause lag. Hopefully you can find out cravenge, I don't have the game setup etc.

Latest version game, sourcemod and metamod.
This problem has always been (and this is 2 years my server). Just before I did not attach importance to this, I thought it is a glitch of the game.

P.S.: I think the server simply does not have time to execute code quickly for one frame, which causes lag. I tried:

CheckClient(client)
{
	if( g_bShowProp[client] == true )
	{
		g_bShowProp[client] = false;

		RequestFrame(ResetHook, client);
	}
}

public ResetHook(client)
{
	new entity, done;
	for( new i = 0; i < MAX_ALLOWED; i++ )
	{
		entity = g_iEntities[i];
		if( entity && (entity = EntRefToEntIndex(entity)) != INVALID_ENT_REFERENCE )
		{
			SetEntProp(entity, Prop_Send, "m_nGlowRange", 1);
			SDKUnhook(entity, SDKHook_SetTransmit, OnTransmit);
			done++;
		}
	}

	if( done )
	{
		CreateTimer(0.1, TimerHook);
	}
}

public Action:TimerHook(Handle:timer)
{
	new entity;
	for( new i = 0; i < MAX_ALLOWED; i++ )
	{
		entity = g_iEntities[i];
		if( entity && (entity = EntRefToEntIndex(entity)) != INVALID_ENT_REFERENCE )
		{
			SetEntProp(entity, Prop_Send, "m_nGlowRange", g_iCvarRange);
			SDKHook(entity, SDKHook_SetTransmit, OnTransmit);
		}
	}
}

Later, I will inform you about the results.

Update (1.2)
: Transitioned to new syntax.
: New method of applying glow to chargeable entities.
: Hopefully fixed the lag part which I, unfortunately, can't reproduce/replicate.

Report for bugs if there are any.

Is that what my version is doing? If so, I might check again.
