To Do Add a convar so you can change how long the wait time is between spawning shields.

Cache the entity reference of the shield when you create it.
When the player dies, check if its still a valid entity, and kill it if it is

PHP Code:

new g_entCurrentShield[MAXPLAYERS+1] = { INVALID_ENT_REFERENCE, ... }

EventHook_OnPlayerDeath(Handle:event, const String:name[], bool:dontbroadcast)
{
    new client = GetClientOfUserId(GetEventInt(event, "userid"));
    if (client != 0)
    {
        if (IsValidEntity(g_entCurrentShield[client]))
        {
            AcceptEntityInput(g_entCurrentShield[client], "Kill");
            g_entCurrentShield[client] = INVALID_ENT_REFERENCE;
        }
    }
}

//[OnShieldCreated]
{
    new shield = CreateEntityByName("entity_medigun_shield");
    if(shield != -1)
    {
        g_entCurrentShield[client] = EntIndexToEntRef(shield);
        // do other stuff
    }
}

I'd give you a blowjob if that was socially acceptable behaviour and not gay in the slightest.

First priority should deffo be restricting the shield based on the active weapon
It seems that holding the ubersaw while damaging someone with the shield has...unforeseen cosequences...

O_O Like what.....

As you know, the ubersaw grants 25% ubercharge whenever it deals damage.
This behaviour seems to be replicated by the shield if the ubersaw is being held (AKA instant ubercharge)

Oh boy. That I did not expect. Any potential issues then with any of the other mediguns? I can't remember if any of the other Mediguns have any "on deal damage" related attributes.

I do have to leave for work now, but I'll try to get as much work on this done as I can when I get home.

Here's an updated one (?Better?) one:

Requires 75% uber and activates when you press reload.
