Hello, I was wondering if anyone knew the hunter pounce formula for L4D given the 2d distance of the pounce?
I'd like to hook the lunge_pounce event, but I believe it only provides the distance in 2d and not the actual damage.
Does anyone know how I would convert that?

I'd like to keep stats on hunter pounce damage, distance, etc for a server.

Maybe this help you.

I can Jump more High with Hunter and cover major distance and also take max 45 instant damage for high pounce to survivor

I have been working on a Mod to change the hunter pounce damage, it will be done in like a week or so. The closest to the equation that calculates the damage is

((Distance*.01)/4)*(((Distance*.01)/2)^2)

The distance that the event gives you is only horizontal distance so you need to work in the vertical distance to.

The problem with sm_cvar z_hunter_max_pounce_bonus_damage 45 //25 is what would be a 25 point pounce is now a 45 instead of extending passed 25.

You can change that by modifying z_pounce_damage_range_max with sm_cvar command. For example, I'm currently running

sm_cvar z_pounce_damage_range_max 1700
sm_cvar z_hunter_max_pounce_bonus_damage 49

and it seems to be just about right distance wise (~1000 is a 25)

I was messing with those commands and it seems to up the damage from short pounces. I got a 20 point pounce on flat ground.

sounds like you have a setting wrong then. Check your min, and make sure your max is above 1000. basically, for every dmg point you add, you should be adding at least 28 to max range to scale right. And that changes as you go along.
With 1700 I've got it down to giving the player less than 1 point extra damage than what it should be. I've been running it over a week, and the logs are looking good for it.

Are you sure?
The server log outputs the following for a pounce:

05/28/2009 - 10:295: Pounce by ->YaYYaJ<- dealt 4.9 damage from a 2d distance of 412

2d distance gives me the impression it's taking the vertical into account.

Edit: I was wrong, this isn't true.

Hunter pounce damage is not affected by vertical distance, only horizontal.

i am nearly positive it is straightline distance from where you pounce from.

this is why you still get 11 straight down from buildings (with nearly no horizontal movement.

[n0limit]

This was my understanding of it too.

Basically, if you took a picture with a hunter on a building and a survivor below, and drew a straight line between them, that's the hunter distance.
