Excuse my english.

A while ago I saw a plugin that left the aura of the special infected when they died:

I thought it was great to see the aura of color and I wanted to adapt it to the survivors, that each player choose the color they want and even create a menu with very little knowledge that I have.

I don't know how to write plugins, I just played around a bit and was guided by a few things, but the point is that the player's aura disappears after a while and I would like him to stay until the player leaves the game, please someone help me



I attach some images of how it looks on my server

I made one based on Flashlight from Silvers a long time ago, but still has a lot of bugs, not ready to share here yet.

I know that there is some plugins that does that but I don't know the names, usually people call it "aura" or "glow".
What I did is something very similar to what you have done, I also added some features like make the flash blink (m_bFlashing 0/1), rainbow colors and allowing to admins set the glow in other clients too.

I don't know if what I did is right or wrong, but I would like the glow to last longer, if you could share your plugin to try to understand it and maybe I can do something by trying

I found this. It doesn't exactly do what you've requested, but it's something.

I can see that some of the functions are taken from the glow include but why separate them? Just add #include <glow> and use L4D2_SetEntGlow only. Correct me if I wrong but I think the reason why the glow disappears is cuz of the fact that the min and max glow ranges are set to 0, meaning players need to be at point-blank distance with each other.

I already changed it and the type of range I put a higher number but it remains the same, nothing changed and it only lasts about 5 minutes active then it goes away

In mine, I did with a timer plugin (because had a "rainbow" effect) so It runs every "sec", not the best solution but maybe some cases like become incapped is removing the glow, or can be another plugin (like B&W)

ClientPrefs is easiest/quickest way to save stuff for when clients reconnect. If you store in array like int blah[MAXPLAYERS+1] then that would only work over map changes not past server restart or client reconnect. Several of my plugins use if you need to look for examples.
