issue with referencing an image in a plugin

Flynn_bat · **Author**

hello, i am currently making a plugin (witch is going to be really funny

) but i am stumped on referencing a gif so it will play when you use the command. i also want to play a sound file at the same time. I know it is probably pretty straight forward but i couldn't figure it out. sorry for my inexperience. Thanks!

Not sure you can use a gif, but the file must be a .vtf

PHP Code:


			
ClientCommand(client, "r_screenoverlay \"%s\"", overlaypath);

Remember to cache the file.

For the sound:

Like video? Only in MOTD and only as HTML5 video.

You will also need to precache the sound, I've used both .wav and .mp4.
What is the game?
