Projectile Gravity
Version 0.1.0

Description
This plugin is, so far, a quick and dirty workaround to automatically set the gravity of projectiles in TF2. These currently include:

• Stunballs
• Grenades
• Sticky bombs
• Jarate

Huntsman arrows are ALSO affected, but unlike the list above, they are affected by the server's current gravity. The above list is affected by the gravity set at the time of the map loading. This plugin exploits that by setting a specified gravity before the new map reloads and sets back the current gravity after it has loaded.

Also note this is my first publicly released plugin, but not my first plugin I've wrote or modified for my own purposes, or is this anywhere near my first experience with programming. So any tips for things I may have overlooked when making (other than commenting) this would be appreciated as well.

Cvars

• sm_projectile_gravity_version - Pretty obvious. Don't touch. :P
• sm_projectile_gravity_enabled - Set to 1 if you want the plugin enabled on map change. 0 to disable. (Default: 1)
• sm_projectile_gravity_value - The gravity value to use on projectiles. Works the same as sv_gravity. (Default: 400)

Updates

it might be nicer to use
native Phys_SetMass(entity, Float:mass);
from VPhysics for this.
you wouldnt have problems with huntsman arrows anymore, and you could do it per player and stuff.

if it affects trajectory at all :]

Might be a better idea, but this is a very cheap and quick work around for now as I just noticed this. I did debate some other calls, but I believe I'd need to latch on to when a new entity gets created, check if it's one of the proper types that I'd be dealing with and then set the gravity of it. There's already a native SetEntityGravity for this rather than the Phys_SetMass call, and from what I can tell that call should be sufficient for this.

I am curious as to how well this plugin works. I have found occassionally on our server that the projectile gravity seems to break and by changing sv_gravity to 800 it doesn't always change it back properly. If this plugin works well then I could use it for the opposite reason for it's design. Is the default value of the cvar something fun to use or is that the projectile gravity normally?

EDIT: Nevermind it only works during map change. I was hoping for something that could fix the projectile gravity upon command. Sorry for wasting your time.
