Oh, and they will scream random screams and vanish after 3 seconds.

Features:
It will make you pee in fear on halloween.

Only for l4d

[finishlast]

Thanks Marttt, I hope the new check I added inside the gate elimitated the error.
updated to v 0.0.4 on front page

If you just replace the smx in the server make sure to change the map after or strange things will happen

This plugin might work on L4d2, haven't tested it though.

[Sout12]

Hello, I was testing this plugin on L4D2 it worked but it seems like the chance cvars didn't work at least on l4d2 so I tried to delete it but now, I hear the witch scream sometimes randomly without the plugin installed, any ideas?

[finishlast]

Think it is a problem with the timer. Updated to version 0.0.6.

The cvar chance works but you have to change to another map or restart the server to take effect.

If you delete the smx file and restart the server, she will be gone.

This looks awesome!
I don't suppose someone can tweak it so it does work for L4D2 before Halloween? I would love to scare the crap out of my friends >:-)
