Notes
- The default plugin sprite is visible through walls, this is because of an attribute on the original .vmt file ($ignorez 1).
If this bothers you, try setting the following cvar to one of these materials:
PHP Code:
l4d_spot_marker_sprite_model "vgui/hud/icon_locator_generic.vmt"
PHP Code:
//can't recolor, default color: white
l4d_spot_marker_sprite_model "vgui/resource/downarrow.vmt"
Thank you!
