[CSS] Spark effect on player

altex · **Author**

I was trying to implement this ES code in sourcemod

Code:

        cmdFormat = 'es_xgive %s env_spark; ' % attacker
        cmdFormat += 'es_xfire %s env_spark SetParent !activator; ' % attacker
        cmdFormat += 'es_xfire %s env_spark AddOutput "spawnflags 896"; ' % attacker
        cmdFormat += 'es_xfire %s env_spark AddOutput "angles -90 0 0"; ' % attacker
        cmdFormat += 'es_xfire %s env_spark AddOutput "magnitude 8"; ' % attacker
        cmdFormat += 'es_xfire %s env_spark AddOutput "traillength 3"; ' % attacker
        cmdFormat += 'es_xfire %s env_spark StartSpark' % attacker
        es.server.queuecmd(cmdFormat)

That's how i was doing that

Code:

        new String:target[128];
        Format(target, sizeof(target), "target%i", client);
        DispatchKeyValue(client, "targetname", target);
        
        // And even so
        // new String:targetString[128];
        // Format(targetString, sizeof(targetString), "targetname %s", target);
        // SetVariantString(targetString);
        // AcceptEntityInput(client, "AddOutput");
                
        entSpark = CreateEntityByName("env_spark");
        DispatchKeyValue(entSpark, "spawnflags", "896");
        DispatchKeyValue(entSpark, "angles", "-90 0 0");
        DispatchKeyValue(entSpark, "magnitude", "8");
        DispatchKeyValue(entSpark, "traillength", "3");
        // And even so
        // DispatchKeyValue(entSpark, "parentname", target);
        DispatchSpawn(entSpark);
        
        SetVariantString(target);
        AcceptEntityInput(client, "SetParent");
        
        AcceptEntityInput(entSpark, "StartSpark");

        // And even so
        // AcceptEntityInput(entSpark, "StartSpark", client, client);

And it does not work
