Description
This PR adds two ConVars:
tf_sniper_rifle_trailsIf set, sniper rifles will leave a bullet trail after firing (1 = Machina trail, 2 = Classic trail).tf_sniper_rifle_trails_forcedIf set, the value of tf_sniper_rifle_trails will override the trail of rifles like the Classic and Machina.The code that handles when to utilize sniper trails has been rewritten for ease of use.
The below videos showcase various states possible with the aforementioned ConVars.
