I got this idea from Despirator's plugin, who got the idea from Bacardi - Anti-NoFlash (A ripped feature of SMAC's smac_css_antiflash. The plugin wasn't otherwise compatible with this one. ) > Entity information isn't sent to clients who're completely flashed. Players with NoFlash cheats won't know where enemy players are located. If you're using this plugin don't use smac_css_antiflash. - Flash Duration Bug Fix (A bug discovered by Bacardi) > I've integrated his fix into this plugin. The bug affects flashes which have the same flash duration as the one prior to it. These flashes won't affect the player at all. This plugin circumvents the bug by slightly changing the flash duration. - ConVars: None. Installation: Place sm_flashprotection.smx inside of /sourcemod/plugins/ ChangeLog: 0.0.4: Updated Anti-NoFlash & added some checks to prevent a potential error. 0.0.3: Added NoDeafen and renamed Anti-Flash to Anti-NoFlash. 0.0.2: I forgot to include a conditional statement. 0.0.1: Initial Release. Note(s): I've created this plugin because teamflashing is done considerably often by griefing players. Unfortunately, the existing methods of removing all team flashes can be abused to offer an unfair advantage to the players team (They can flash enemies and have their teammates run in unaffected.) Additionally, I've noticed that thetwistedpanda's plugin can be abused by players since they can overwrite any existing flashbang effects by team flashing each other. If there's something to abuse, someone will eventually abuse it.

Hopefully this plugin can be of use to people.

Anti-Flash it is Anti-No-Flash

[TheAvengers2]

Alright, thanks!

I've changed the line which reads Anti-Flash to Anti-NoFlash.

I'm also going to incorporate the no deafening into my plugin for unaffected teammates as well. Your plugin is interesting as I've never thought to use traces.

I'm not English, I find it hard to understand, are that it is a plugin (Anti Team Flash) ? or it is an additional plugin used with this plugin instance ?

Thank you in advance

These are two very different plugins attempting to solve the very same problem: Team Flashing. They are thus incompatible with each other. I mentioned thetwistedpanda's plugin because I coped some of his code.

My plugin will block flashes that only hit teammates. If an enemy and a teammate get hit by a flash, they will both still get flashed. However, in this case, it will output a message to the teammate saying they were team flashed by so and so player. Additionally, due to the nature of this plugin, it was incompatible with the SMAC anti-cheat module smac_css_antiflash. So I decided to integrate the modules features into my anti-flash solution.

thetwistedpanda's plugin will null all team flashes. The plugin has two problems: Firstly, players can unblind their teammates by throwing a flash at them. Secondly, players can throw dangerous flashes in front of their teammates to blind their enemies. Normally, their teammates would be flashed as well; but since the effects of the flash are nulled for their teammates, this means they can run in unaffected to kill the blind enemies. This negatively affects gameplay in my opinion and so resulted in me making this plugin.

Ok thank you for clarification ;)

TheAvengers2 If you are still browsing these forums could you please contact me via my website listed below of via PM. There are some issues with this plugin I would like to sort out. For some reason people are being unblinded and no getting a flash when they should.
