[L4D2] Scavenge Tank + Horde + Witch
 

This plugin will spawn tanks and/or a hordes and/or a witch in scavenge mode.

A tank/horde/witch will spawn if
- a specific gas count is reached
- there is an overtime (only once a round)
- the second team tied the score
(or by using a server command)

"added chat notification on spawn" Can we get a cvar to enable/disable this notification?

Re: [L4D2] Scavenge Tank + Horde
 

can you add an option to spawn a witch every certain number of cans?

I should get some credit for the "Idea".

@thejuice027: Sorry :wink:

I tested the witch spawning and it seems possible. My idea is that the witch will spawn near a gas can and not randomly or near the car/generator.

Re: [L4D2] Scavenge Tank + Horde
 

sounds even cooler that way.

Re: [L4D2] Scavenge Tank + Horde
 

If you create it just for the witch let me know. I am dying to try out a witch on scavenge mode.

Re: [L4D2] Scavenge Tank + Horde
 

Love the idea but what I would like to see is to have the tank spawn after a certain amount of time, letting you setting the tank to spawn so many seconds after the round start would be great. Just an idea =)

Re: [L4D2] Scavenge Tank + Horde
 

I was testing the witch spawning and i got the perfect solution. (in my opinion) ^^

When a witch is about to spawn (by command or cvar) the logic will store the positions of the gas cans (which are not in the hands of a survivor), the survivor positions and the (maybe) already spawned witches. The logic will loop through the cans and if there are no survivors or witches near the can it will be marked as a possible spawn. After this one of this cans will be selected and the witch will spawn near it.
But if there are no possible spawns, there will spawn a wandering witch at a position defined by the director.

Later this day i will test the plugin a little more and i will test, what i can do about the idea of Jay Dogg.

There is another idea from a friend, but i don't know yet how to implement it. His idea is that the scavenge time will stop at a tank spawn and will continue after his death. I will follow this idea maybe later.

Re: [L4D2] Scavenge Tank + Horde
 

i had mine configured to spawn a tank on the tenth can. worked great on one map but as soon as we started a scavenge on another map it gave us a tank at 5 cans even though it was set to 10.
