Air plane shadow for the Air Strike 
55 comments
This Lua script lets appear a shadow of an airplane above the player who called an Air Strike. The airplane will always fly in the direction the player was looking when he threw the marker.
current version: 1.3
Installation (important!)
To install, you must do two things:
Extract the contents of the zip archive to the main CS2D directory
Add this line into the file sys/servertransfer.lst
so the airplane shadow is visible for all players
Starting the script
To start the script, let Lua parse this line:
You probably want to add this into the file sys/lua/server.lua so the script starts when the server starts.
Notes: In my test, this script did not go into conflict with other scripts. If you discover errors when using this script together with other scripts, let me know.
Update to v1.1: Whoops, there was a bug in version 1.0. When throwing lots of Air Strikes, the console complained about table fields that did not exist. This console spam could be a bit annoying for the server and I fixed that issue now.
Update to v1.2: Whoops, there was another bug (thx, phihung940) which let apper airplanes if you use another weapon after holding an Air Strike marker in hand. This should be fixed now. I also added parameters in the source code for a quick change of the airplane speed and the start distance from the throwing player.
Update to v1.3: I took a different default image for the air plane. It is somewhat the contour of a B 17G and is based on this work by bagera3005. It looks more like a bomber, has sharper contours than the previous image and even has a smaller file size!

Wha- There's no plane image when I download the file. Where did you get the image?!
