[reinert]

Well, that looks pretty cool, How much was deathsmoke_size when you took screen, It looks pretty big and not so awesome ;D

[Pastout]

It was at 100 which is default, but you can certainly change that a lower value

Suggestions:

-Clarify some of the cvars more (the adminsonly one and the teams one also). Does that mean that only admins see the effect when they kill somebody else? Or does that mean that other people see the effect when the admins die? WOuld be very helpful if clarified

-Why are you using set_cvar_string( "Smoke_Death", VERSION ), when you already register the cvar to be VERSION?

-Don't get the values of the pcvars in the plugin_init, so that server owner's/admins with CVAR flag can change it mid-game.

-In the DeathMsg, when checking the teams, use a switch statement instead of 3 ifs for both g_iSpriteColor AND for g_iSpriteTeam. Also use switch to check g_iSpriteTeam.

deathsmoke_adminsonly 1
Everyone can still see it, but only admins would have this effect on them when they die....
deathsmoke_adminsonly 0
Everyone has this effect on them when they die...

As For the cvars i left it like that so it wouldn't change the game play that intill map change....

For the deathmsg event i put switches instead...

I hope this help you answer your question on all of this...

[nikhilgupta345]

Oh, I don't think you uploaded the fixed version yet, but also in UTIL_SMOKE or w/e the function is called, you should REALLY use a switch there instead of 4 if statements. Also, FYI, when you are checking different things like checking what number a num is. instead of:

if( num == 0 )
if( num == 1 )

You could either do:
switch( num )
{
case 0:
case 1:
}

OR

if( num == 0 )
else if( num == 1 )

put the else there so that if one of them is true, it skips the other checks.

The switch is more efficient, but if you're checking that for strings for instance, you should use the if/else if combination.

Updated Optimizing the Code a bit.
Added Cvars now load on round start instead of map change...

[nikhilgupta345]

Why are you using cs_get_user_team in teh deathmsg after you already set it to variable 'Team'? You can just use 'Team' now instead of cs_get_user_team.
BTW: Im talking about the switch( g_iSpriteTeam )
