This plugin is the 4.0 version of reborn's original plugin "Defend My Beacon" for the old SSGM, which can be found here http://www.renegadeforums.com/index.php?t=msg&th=36861&start=0&rid=2 0487

### Created by Xpert from Atomix

### www.ax-games.net


### CREDITS
Thanks to reborn for original concept


### DESCRIPTION ###
This plugin will make a player say in team chat when they have placed a beacon and will say near what building if it's legit. This concept of the plugin uses the actual client's name with TMSG rather than the old way of a color message that non-script users couldn't see.

- PLAYERNAME: The beacon I deployed is FAKE.
- PLAYERNAME: I deployed a FAKE beacon near the BUILDINGNAME.
- PLAYERNAME: Please help DEFEND my beacon near the BUILDINGNAME!

### CHANGELOG ###

V1 - Release

Does it check the distance from a building via checking building meshes or via checking the distance of the controller? If it's the latter if you place a beacon on the strip part of the Airstrip it'll say it's fake.

try using these

	void											BuildingGameObj::Find_Closest_Poly (const Vector3 &pos, float *distance2);	
	int											BuildingGameObj::Building_In_Range(const Vector3 &point, float range);	//return 0 for no, 1 for yes and 2 for MCT in range

Find_Closest_Building() will return a NULL pointer on maps without buildings, probably causing the server to crash if you deploy a beacon on it.

Get_Translated_Preset_Name_Ex() allocates a string on the heap, you're not delete[]'ing that so you're leaking memory.

You should be fine with using the DamageRadius of the beacon explosions + 2.0f. 15+2 for the Ion Cannon's explosion, so a lot less than 30 (if you use the distance from mesh and not building controller)

Building_In_Range is significantly less expensive than Find_Closest_Poly, so please don't use the latter unless you actually need to know the distance value.

He could always put it on a separate thread, it's not like the chat message needs to be sent instantly after all, some delay would be acceptable I'm sure.
