A lot of people requested this so I decided to give it a go. Admins can take over a tank on the field with !tt or a player can donate the tank with !dt.

A menu will pop up, listing all tanks that can be taken over if !tt was used, or will list all eligible players if !dt was used.

Cvars:

l4d_tanktakeover_message - If 1, the plugin will display a message to the player tanks that spawn

Changelog:

Version 1.4
* - Added a timer to the Gamemode ConVarHook to ensure compatitbilty with other gamemode changing plugins
* - Changed message giving the wrong command info
* - Changed the way clients were selected for the tank

Version 1.3
* - Redone tank kicking code
* - Redone tank health fix
* - Fixed bug allowing players to donate to or takeover themselves
* - Few optimizations here and there
* - L4D2 version added

Version 1.2
* - Fixed spelling errors and added additional comments in the code
* - Added detection for admincheats
* - Added a menu to select who to take over or donate the tank to
* - Added flashlight to spawning tank if the gamemode is coop/survival
* - Changed model detections into class detections

Version 1.1
* - Fixed Message not showing to players
* - Fixed a bug where the tank could be taken over or donated when it had died

Version 1.0
* - Initial release.

Would this reset the rage meter? I can just forsee a team consantly giving up their tank before their rage meter runs out and totally refill it when the next person gets it. This would cause one team to be in control of the tank for theoretically forever. My suggestion is to add a limit to the number of times you're able to transfer it.

There is a limit to how many times it can be transferred.

Very nice. Just redo the Announcement like i wrote you in Steamchat ^^

Yes, it would royally suck if someone donated when the rage meter was almost gone and it didn't fill up.

You're still printing the announcement to the initial Tank BOT

Omg, finally....i cant wait to peek into the code

[olj]

I looked in code, its really nice workaround, actually what i was thinking about (creating new tank with same hp and position, and somehow forcing client to take control of it).

The problem I was thinking about is how to force certain client to get the tank.

But it seems I cant figure it out from your code , maybe I'm just dumb. How you actually making someone to get the tank once it spawned?

And another question - using this in finale will screw tank spawning system and possible cause finale vehicle to appear faster. Am i right??

I just scimmed over it, but I think he is falsifying all the other infected to make it seem like they are spawned to the z_spawn algorithm, so z_spawn thinks the only dead player is the person you want to have control of the tank.
