Wow,
My goodness,
Mr Matt,
I just saw a similar plugin yesterday, no longer updated many years ago
but
You created him today,

I actually want to add a similar effect to the smoke after the tongue dies,
and even take a little damage when choked by the smoke

Does this disable the glows?

You don't need to quote the whole thread to report a bug. It pollutes the readability of the whole forum.

If you can provide more info about in which scenarios it happens, I can try look into.

In general, a Jockey saddled me and he died immediately, I do not know who killed him in KillFeed, it did not seem who did it, but that's how in this screenshot my black screen did not disappear.I had to return it to its place through the admin panel

P.S - I'm still trying to figure out how to trigger it.I tried to have a Tank throw him off my back, I tried to kill him through the admin menu, because I thought it was related to suicide.Unsuccessfully.If you catch him, then by some random chance

Marttt - What's up, I had downloaded a plugin that I really liked and it helped me.

But it turns out that there is a problem with your plugin in which when the Jockey grabs me, the other plugin blocks the first attack for a few seconds and at that moment the screen bugs, getting stuck.

The other author lent me his edited plugin and now everything works fine. That's why I wanted to see if with that edited plugin from the other author you can update it.

Ty for reporting, I'm going to try to fix that. Have been busy these days, so I may provide a solution in a month.
