just did some short testing and issue seems to be fixed. genius! thank you!

however, while testing i did notice some things:
1. i can't get the instructor hint for items to work. not sure why. anyone else or just me? instructor hint for spot marker works fine.
2. when "l4d2_spot_marker_sprite_model" cvar is empty, it bypasses the cooldown cvar (can use infinitely) and the spot marker sound doesn't trigger.

i already use priority patch long time, problem just cause on incapped
by the way sometime i got twice instructor on once mark? wrong usage?

Nice update! Great job fixing the double hint bug

Could you add a convar for controlling how many instructor hints present at one time or hard coded the limit? As it is right now the screen can get a little bit overcrowded.

For example, there are Special Infecteds and items on your screen.
Mark infected first if your crosshair is aiming at infected body.
If not succeed, then mark item nearby you.
If not succeed, then create spot marker at your crosshair.

Great, thank you! This plugin will be one of my most useful plugins for my server now
