Plural of foot is feet, but this is pretty cool. I could see it being used for some other things like location to other entities and props. Don't know if you plan on modifying it for other uses, but I might once i get time ot test it out.

I would use this for dev quite a bit to toggle on stuff like func_brush or other random entities of interest.. Perhaps also draw some tempents like sprites or beams to the objects.. Like a green one to the closest, and red to farthest, or use a gradient that uses a color that increases in intensity for close objects but dulls for far ones.

CreateTimer(0.2, checkPlayers, _, TIMER_REPEAT);

0.5 wouldn't be enough? I think it lags a little on 32 players CSGO server.

EDIT: And could you add command for player to turn on/off showing this?

I noticed the little spelling mistake , but these pics i made before^^. But you can change the text anyway in the translation file.

I don't think a 0.2 seconds timer is to expensive. But i can add a cvar to change the check duration. Because i think 0.2 is more fluent than 0.5.

And i will also add that option to turn it on/off

war3 uses a lot of .1 second timers that do a lot of stuff and do not lag. SM is very fast, if this was ES I would be worried though...

[chuj]

Could you attach the includes?

Edit: Neverming, found it.

[friagram]

Even running ongameframe isnt THAT bad, and that is about as bad as it gets...

Assuming you're using the tony GoD-Tony created, I looked at the code and it doesn't use both(why would it). Also, the Optional link is broken.

Ha, i'm sry, wrong link and broken link

can someone fix it for tf2 where it only shows distance to players that spawns? So it only works on spawn triggers.

When people die and respawn, they don't see other players until they respawn.
When people join server they don't see anyone until someone repawns.
