So I am working on a bullet tracer plugin but I have reached the limitation of my sm knowledge and need some help filling in the blanks. So far I can detect where a bullet hits and record that location along with the client who fired it. I also have some code that should determine where the location of the clients gun is but I do not know how to get the output from it. I set up an example code that generates sparks so that I knew that temp entities worked. I also know that the model that needs to be used for the effect is "effects/gunshiptracer.vmt"

Below is my code so far, can anyone help me trigger the BeamClient method correctly?

#include <sourcemod>
#include <sdktools_functions>
#include <sdktools>


#define VERSION "0.1"

new String:Weapon[30];
new Handle:hGetWeapon_ShootPosition;
new Handle:hGameConf;


public Plugin:myinfo = 
{
    name = "Tracers",
    author = "ZERO <ibis>",
    description = "Makes tracers follow bullets",
    version = VERSION,
    url = "www.ibisgaming.com"
};

// create convars and hook event
public OnPluginStart()
{
    hGameConf = LoadGameConfigFile("plugin.sdkexamples");
 
    StartPrepSDKCall(SDKCall_Player);
    PrepSDKCall_SetFromConf(hGameConf, SDKConf_Virtual, "Weapon_ShootPosition");
    PrepSDKCall_SetReturnInfo(SDKType_Vector, SDKPass_ByValue);
    hGetWeapon_ShootPosition= EndPrepSDKCall();

    HookEvent("bullet_impact",Fire);
}

GetWeapon_ShootPosition(client, Float:pos[3])
{
    SDKCall(hGetWeapon_ShootPosition, client, pos);
}



//hook the player_hurt event and look for nade damge
public Fire(Handle:event,const String:name[],bool:dontBroadcast)
{
    GetEventString(event,"weapon",Weapon,30);
    
    // if plugin is on and nade was found then ignite client
    if(StrEqual(Weapon,"hegrenade")!= true)
    {
        new clientid = GetEventInt(event,"userid");
        new client = GetClientOfUserId(clientid);
        new x2 = GetEventInt(event,"x");
        new y2 = GetEventInt(event,"y");
        new z2 = GetEventInt(event,"z");
        new Float:end[3];
        end[0] = x2;
        end[1] = y2;
        end[2] = z2;
        
        SparkClient(client,end,end);
    

        
    }
}


SparkClient(client, const Float:pos[3], const Float:dir[3])
{
    TE_SetupMetalSparks(pos, dir);
    TE_SendToAll;
}

BeamClient(const Float:start[3], const Float:end[3], ModelIndex, HaloIndex, StartFrame, FrameRate, Float:Life, Float:Width, Float:EndWidth, FadeLength, Float:Amplitude, const Color[4], Speed)
{
    TE_SetupBeamPoints(start, end, ModelIndex, HaloIndex, StartFrame, FrameRate, Life, Width, EndWidth, FadeLength, Amplitude, Color, Speed);
    TE_SendToAll;
}

Thanks again, I am also attaching the code for those who want to just dl it. Hopefully with your help we can release a public bullet tracer plugin! (I will credit anyone who helps when I release it)

unclear what your asking for. is this what your trying to make?

[andi67]

CSS or for what Game???

[zeroibis]

It is for css and yes it is going to be like the laser plugin except that this is trying to make realistic tracers like that es script mb_tracer.

Actually tomorrow I might read over some of the code in the laser plugin and see if there is anything that can help me.

Look at some of my code there and it might help you out

Cool I got it working thanks to reading the code in the laser plugin

I have attached the file to this post. Note that it requires the laser_tag.games.txt file to work

np ;)

laser_tag.games.txt to translations folder, correct?

[zeroibis]

Install in your gamedata, also I plan to try to add the ability to turn it on and or off in the future but I am still waiting for a reply from the creator of the laser tag plugin for permission to add the plugin to the sourcemod plugin list.

*Oops sorry about that had a brain fart there lol

no, install in your gamedata folder.
