This plugin needs some explaining.
The demoman's sticky bombs, while a great tool, have an inherent flaw: Their size and color makes it so that recognizing the position of your bombs against the wrong background can be difficult between blinks:
While the bombs are clearly visible, it's fairly easy to lose track of them in a more hectic scenario. If you have vision issues, or a low contrast monitor, this only makes spotting bombs more difficult. This plugin is meant to act as a solution, so that regardless of conditions on the battlefield, you can tell where the hell you shot your gun.
This plugin is for the VisionImpairedDemo.
With this plugin, sticky bombs are surrounded with a circle of your team/s color. While airborne, the circle is larger, and when on the ground, the surrounding shrinks in order to prevent visibility blockage. The color-to-black outline has the advantage that regardless of the background's color, it will always have significant and visible contrast.
For those that dislike a full circle, there is a second version without the circle fill, which you can enable by changing the value at the top of the plugin's code from zero to one.
Version: Any
Conflicts: None Known
object_event_add(Mine,ev_create,0,'
//Setting fill_or_outline to 0 will create a full bubble around a launched sticky, setting
it to 1 will only show an outline.
fill_or_outline=0;
color=0;
');
object_event_add(Minegun, ev_draw, 0, '

}
}
}
