Player Outline

Description:

Add outlines on players. This plugin allows players or admins to enable player outlines (viewable through walls) of their HP value. This can be used to have fun or gain an un-fair advantage over a player, it's your decision on how to use it. The player outline re-enables itself over respawn if it were enabled before (Based on cvar). Targetting can be used through server and player console, as well as with admin menu support. At default, all players can toggle it on or off on themselves (See CVar overrides below to change this).

Hmm. Any game that supports the outline feature then. I'll supply a list later.

You forgot to close the quotes around the target command. Also, can you target a player to have the ability to see outlines or does it just give the whole server outline abilities (thats the result I'm getting while testing this for you). Just czeching if it's expected behavior.

If it is enabled for a player, anyone can see the outline, I don't think (at least from my perspective) that there is a way to hide the effect from specific players.

~and thanks for the catch.

I think this is only for L4d1/2 and TF2

why at a distance does the outline just "stay?" also, it would be better if it wasn't based on HP pull, I run a VSH server and i need to have all few last players outlined so the game won't take up time for the map, aka i want the boss to see the player's outline at any distance.

I'll "see" if there is a way to change the color instead of the color relying on the HP pull, but the point in which it just stays in one position is a client bug and can't be fixed unless valve does so. It does that for VSH aswell when a sniper hits hale and hale grows distance from players viewing the outline.

im having a problem putting this on all players. I do sm_outlineon @all and it only puts it on me and a couple other players, though there are 20 people in the server. not sure why it does this.
Also, i like it when your outline changes color depending on health. Maybe you could also add so blue can only see their teams outlines and red can only see theirs or even make it so blue team can only see red and red can only see blue.
