TempEntites.beam_points() crashs my game

    TempEntities.beam_points(RecipientFilter(index), 0, Vector(100, 100, 100), Vector(200, 200, 200), model_index, halo_index, 1, 1,
        5, 5, 5, 0, 0, 255, 0, 0, 255, 0)

Am I doing something wrong, or why does this crash my game (not server) as soon as I say something in chat?


EDIT: I had to precache_model, not precache_decal :D It's working now!

Try to setup haloindex to 0, worked for me (CS:S, haven't tried on CS:GO).

Also, why you are setting startframe to 1? Effect start from 0 frame...

If you notice his edit, he did get it working. He had precache_decal instead of precache_model.

A couple notes, though. I'm sure you wrote this all out instead of copy/paste from an actual script (line 3 gives that away for multiple reasons). However, I feel I should let you know that the current release includes all the name changes I mentioned in another thread. So, you will need to make the appropriate changes to the following 2 objects:

Syntax: Select all

from engines.server import EngineServer
from effects import TempEntities

# Are now
from engines.server import engine_server
from effects import temp_entities

Well, I copy/pasted the related lines out of my script, no idea how line 3 happened.
And I forgot to update the libraries, that's why I used that.
