The idea of AtomicStryker is a good beginning.
If you pickup a weapon with lasersight or you equip your weapon with it, you change the user cvar or let pop up the question.
If you want to force that, then you have to watch over the cvar again and again, because you cant block the change on the client side.

Um...

Also, could you use

PHP Code:

ClientCommand(client, "crosshair 0");

Did you read the comments? http://forums.alliedmods.net/showpos...7&postcount=16

"cl_" commands are client commands and those can't be forced on a client, hence it woulden't work since crosshair is a "cl_" command.
I might be wrong on this one, but this is how I've always seen it.

wel i can't realy agree with you here
cuzz when you got a laser on L4D 1 the croshair was removed by the game itself

so why not on L4D 2 ?

That was in L4D1, L4D 2 is completly different on the other hand. (valve hardcoded the crosshair to stay with the laser sight)
Read my message above please.

[GM-Scorp]

wasnt the crosshair in L4D 1 also a CL

but still the game could force the crosshair to disapear right

i dont think they changed that in L4D 2 i can be wrong afcourse i didnt make the game

[Visual77]

Well, cl_crosshair is used on all source games (L4D1/L4D2/CS:S/TF2/HL)
And those cannot be changed on clients. You can change them yourself in your config.cfg to customize your crosshair with different colours, size, etc. But What differs in L4D2 is that valve made the laser completly different, so if valve would have made the laser remove the crosshair, it would have worked, but we cannot manually remove someones crosshair, can we?

In L4D 1, valve was using a completly different coding for the laser, to remove the crosshair. That was changed in L4D2 (survivor_upgrades command do no longer exist)

It is nice to see that my idea is getting off with a good start.

Yeah lol

but i still think its possible, but thats just me

Before L4D2 i worked at a realistic mod like the one in 2.

PHP Code:

//Hide glow from survivors and item that are far away, strength glow of near items
    ClientCommand(client, "cl_glow_survivor_r 0.0");
    ClientCommand(client, "cl_glow_survivor_g 0.0");
    ClientCommand(client, "cl_glow_survivor_b 0.0");
    ClientCommand(client, "cl_glow_survivor_hurt_r 0.0");
    ClientCommand(client, "cl_glow_survivor_hurt_g 0.0");
    ClientCommand(client, "cl_glow_survivor_hurt_b 0.0");
    ClientCommand(client, "cl_glow_survivor_vomit_r 0.0");
    ClientCommand(client, "cl_glow_survivor_vomit_g 0.0");
    ClientCommand(client, "cl_glow_survivor_vomit_b 0.0");
    ClientCommand(client, "cl_glow_item_r 1.0");
    ClientCommand(client, "cl_glow_item_g 1.0");
    ClientCommand(client, "cl_glow_item_b 1.0");
    ClientCommand(client, "cl_glow_item_far_r 0.0");
    ClientCommand(client, "cl_glow_item_far_g 0.0");
    ClientCommand(client, "cl_glow_item_far_b 0.0");
    ClientCommand(client, "cl_glow_ability_r 0.0");
    ClientCommand(client, "cl_glow_ability_g 0.0");
    ClientCommand(client, "cl_glow_ability_b 0.0");
    
    //Hide crosshair
    ClientCommand(client, "crosshair 0"); 


And this code snippet was working

You can change client side variables, but you can't block, that the user will open his console and type "crosshair 1" in. Therefor you have to check that x seconds/minutes.

Edit:
I just tried it in L4D2 and its working.
See yourself:

PHP Code:

#include <sourcemod>
#include <sdktools>

#pragma semicolon 1

public OnMapStart()
{
    HookEvent("upgrade_pack_added", Event_upgrade_pack_added);
}

public Action:Event_upgrade_pack_added(Handle:event, const String:name[], bool:dontBroadcast)
{
    new id = GetEventInt(event, "userid");
    new client = GetClientOfUserId(id);
    
    new upgrade = GetEventInt(event, "upgradeid");
    
    new String:class[256];
    /* upgrade_ammo_explosive, upgrade_ammo_incendiary, upgrade_laser_sight */
    GetEdictClassname(upgrade, class, sizeof(class));
    
    //Laser Sight
    if (StrContains(class, "upgrade_laser_sight") > -1)
    {
         //Hide crosshair
         ClientCommand(client, "crosshair 0");
    }
}
