You can always check the sequence number on the client, in the model rendering code for that player. If it's set to your animation you can just tag that player as swinging the sword and do your magic trail thingy =).

I want to render a sword trail for any clients that have the iuser3 variable set...but this trail should only be rendered when his sword is swinging. So, in SetAnimation I set iuser3 to a value, and when the animation end, I reset it. All that is sent is 1 bit from iuser3 (specified in the delta.lst file). There is no way information like this is available to all clients without having the server transmit this information via messages?
