GULTHEX gives really good tips and advice on these sorts of things.

I've made a simple CTF-game times ago, and to show the flag by the player, I used a weapon I added to the player.
You could do the same and add a weapon to the players.
The script could be like:

PHP Code:

function onGlow() {
if ( this.glowmod ) {
setImg("light.png");
setcoloreffect(0.4,0.4,0.4,0.5);
this.x = player.x;
this.y = player.y;
this.level = player.level;
onGlow;
 }
}
//you need to try if it works with client or serverside


//#CLIENTSIDE

function onPlayerChats() {
if (player.chat == "setglow") {
this.glowmode = !this.glowmode
onGlow;
 }
} 


Well, as I said, I didnt script for a while so this script will have some fails in it, but its a beginn.

Your script won't work...

You cannot call a serverside function like that clientside, you'd have to use triggerserver()

There are quite a few things wrong with that, I recommend that anyone reading this not look at that code for pointers.

You should do something like this:

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated() {
  onTimeOut();
}

function onTimeOut() {
  hideimgs(200, 400); // lazy :[
  
  for (temp.pl : players) {
    showimg(200 + pl.id, "light2.png", pl.x - 1.5, pl.y - 1.5);
    changeimgvis(200 + pl.id, 0);
    changeimgcolors(200 + pl.id, 1, 0, 0, .7);
  }
  
  setTimer(0.05);
} 


You can play around with the positions, and add a player.attr for the glow colors.
