Tip: Enable Flasher's Name

- Start date
The reason it dosnt say flashbang in the chat is because it use to spam the chat box so much that they removed it but if this is becoming an issue then i am sure they can re-add it. Also the team flash plugin sounds prettty decent. Has anyone sent this to dropbox yet baring in mind christy is REALLY REALLY busy latley

Itd actually be a small plugin
Just check if the weapon used matches weapon_flashbang then if it does, have it print to chat for all team members of the same team as the person who threw it or just make it so admins can see.
But again you can go spec or just sit in spawn as the person does it. Where as letting people know whos throwing it doesn't help as someone could misthrow one and it bounces back or two people could throw a flash at the same time and its hard to tell who threw which one.
In addition it comes down to time and effort, is it really worth the time and effort to make a plugin which does so vs having admins quickly watch someone. Aka if a car gets 30mpg is it worth spending 20million in research to make it get 32mpg and passing the cost of research on to customers or just keeping it 30mpg and passing the cost of gas on to customers.

My problem with this is how can the plugin differentiate between accidental and intentional flashes?
Most players, I believe, would be aware if the flashes are accidental or incidental.
Say, you spawn for a new round and get flashed right away, it would be nice to know who's doing it.
That's just my take on it Dr. Doctor
But this would be nice. Love it on the wL servers but people get quite..colorful with their language when it shows who flashed them, if it was intentional ^_^

The in that case, it should be visible to admins only. Otherwise, great idea! +1!

I don't think that word means what you think that word means. Accidental and incidental mean the same thing here. I think you meant accidental or intentional.
