TE_SPRITETRAIL

Spawns sprites along a line or from a single point. Sprites collide with the world, fall to the ground, and eventually fadeout.

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Vector	start	Spawn line start
Vector	end	Spawn line end (can be same as start)
const char*	sprite	Sprite to display
uint8_t	count	Number of sprites to spawn
uint8_t	life	Time to wait before fading out (seconds * 0.1)
uint8_t	scale	Sprite scale * 0.1
uint8_t	speed	Initial speed (direction = start -> end). Has no effect if the start and end points are the same.
uint8_t	speedNoise	Amount to randomize speed and direction

Example Usage

void te_spritetrail(Vector start, Vector end, 
    const char* sprite="sprites/hotglow.spr", uint8_t count=2, uint8_t life=0, 
    uint8_t scale=1, uint8_t speed=16, uint8_t speedNoise=8,
    int msgType=MSG_BROADCAST, edict_t* dest=NULL)
{
    MESSAGE_BEGIN(msgType, SVC_TEMPENTITY, dest);
    WRITE_BYTE(TE_SPRITETRAIL);
    WRITE_COORD(start.x);
    WRITE_COORD(start.y);
    WRITE_COORD(start.z);
    WRITE_COORD(end.x);
    WRITE_COORD(end.y);
    WRITE_COORD(end.z);
    WRITE_SHORT(MODEL_INDEX(sprite));
    WRITE_BYTE(count);
    WRITE_BYTE(life);
    WRITE_BYTE(scale);
    WRITE_BYTE(speedNoise);
    WRITE_BYTE(speed);
    MESSAGE_END();
