Hi all, well as the title says how I can make a sprite follow the player? and how do I make it repeat several times? What I want to do is make the effect of the led sprite of the c4 (ledglow.spr) but in a player, I try using an infinite task and TE_GLOWSPRITE. The task works well, I mean the sprite is repeated several times but the sprite does not follow the player, when the sprite appears and I go it stays on the last current origin... thx in advance

Try TE_SPRITETRAIL or whatever it was called and you won't need a task.

That temp entity what it does is that the sprite looks like a tail and it's not what I want, what I want is to simulate the glow led on the player (like the c4) and I want it to come out in a certain event then I want it to be removed, Does anyone know how I can do that?

PHP Code:

#include <amxmodx>
#include <zp50_core>

#define TASK_SPRITE 300
#define ID_SPRITE (taskid - TASK_SPRITE)

new spr_bomb 

public plugin_precache()
{   
    spr_bomb = precache_model("sprites/ledglow.spr") 
}

public zp_fw_core_cure(id, attacker)
{
    remove_task(id+TASK_SPRITE)
}

public zp_fw_core_infect_post(id, attacker)
{
    set_task(2.0, "bomb_led", id+TASK_SPRITE, _, _, "b")    
}

public bomb_led(taskid) 
{         
    static origin[3]
    get_user_origin(ID_SPRITE, origin)    
    
    message_begin(MSG_PVS, SVC_TEMPENTITY, origin)
    write_byte(TE_GLOWSPRITE)
    write_coord(origin[0])
    write_coord(origin[1])
    write_coord(origin[2])
    write_short(spr_bomb)
    write_byte(1)
    write_byte(6)
    write_byte(255)
    message_end()
} 


I did it like this works but the sprite does not follow the player.
