HL1 Client Message Effects

See const.h (HL SDK) for arguments.

Examples:

Beam from edict to edict

            MESSAGE_BEGIN( MSG_BROADCAST, SVC_TEMPENTITY );
            WRITE_BYTE( TE_BEAMENTPOINT );
            WRITE_SHORT( ENTINDEX(pMonster) );
            WRITE_COORD( pEntity->v.owner->v.origin.x );
            WRITE_COORD( pEntity->v.owner->v.origin.y );
            WRITE_COORD( pEntity->v.owner->v.origin.z );
            WRITE_SHORT( g_sModelIndexLaser );
            WRITE_BYTE( 0 ); // frame start
            WRITE_BYTE( 10 ); // framerate
            WRITE_BYTE( 3 ); // life
            WRITE_BYTE( 20 );  // width
            WRITE_BYTE( 0 );   // noise
            WRITE_BYTE( 255 );   // r, g, b
            WRITE_BYTE( 255 );   // r, g, b
            WRITE_BYTE( 255 );   // r, g, b
            WRITE_BYTE( 255 );    // brightness
            WRITE_BYTE( 10 );        // speed
            MESSAGE_END();

Single sequence sprite

                            MESSAGE_BEGIN( MSG_BROADCAST, SVC_TEMPENTITY );
                            WRITE_BYTE( TE_SPRITE );

                            WRITE_COORD( pMonster->v.origin.y );
                            WRITE_COORD( pMonster->v.origin.z );
                            WRITE_SHORT( precached_models[6] );    //index
                            WRITE_BYTE( 10 ); // byte * 0.1
                            WRITE_BYTE( 150 ); // brightness
