[L4D/2] Crowned Horde

Story Line
The Survivors are frantically climbing the stairs to reach the helicopter on top of the hospital roof. It is pitch blank with only their flashlights giving them the slightest hint of light through the blood covered lens. Bill is leading the way huffing and puffing from the long run when he suddenly stops forcing the other survivors to crash into him. The faint distant moaning of a witch is heard in front of them near the exit door. The only way to get to the waiting helicopter is through the witch. Slowly the survivors move forward as the moaning of the witch grows louder and louder. Red glowing eyes pierce the darkness in front of the survivors. Guns blaze and the witch charges the survivors. Bill is crouched down in front with the others shooting over him while the witch, almost as if the bullets have no effect, continues her charge. She is ten feet from Bill and shows no sign of slowing down. The witch keeps coming, dropping to her knees in front of Bill who is reloading. Unable to move, the witch lets out an ear piercing scream before Bill finishes it off. The witches scream alerted the zombie horde on the floor below in which the survivors sneaked carefully past on their mad dash up the stairs. The horde rushes up the stairs while the survivors make a run towards the helicopter. They are getting in as the horde bursts through the rooftop door. The survivors slam the helicopter door shut as the horde converges on it. They break the window in order to fend them off while the pilot tries to take off. With the zombies grabbing at the small news helicopter, the load is to great for it to take off. Gun fire is coming out of both sides of the helicopter as the survivors manage to kill enough zombies to lighten the load and the helicopter can take off. There is only one problem left, their pilot is getting a rash... Description Crowned horde was developed in response to a plugin request. It originally was only triggered when the witch was crowned, hence then name, but was changed during development. The scream that alerted the horde is what this plugin does. When a witch is killed she lets out a scream that will trigger a horde. As of v1.0.1, you have the option to set which events trigger her scream. Prerequisites This plugin is compiled against SourceMod 1.3. If you compile it through the forums it will be compiled against SourceMod 1.2. Installation Simply drag and drop the files onto your server. Upgrading Drag and drop, and overwrite all files. If you changed the config file you will have to make the changes again.

Re: [L4D/2] Crowned Horde
Nice story. I'll have to take a look at it.
|
Re: [L4D/2] Crowned Horde
is the story the reason it took so long to release this plugin? i searched the request section for several pages before i found it last night.
anyway, you say you started with the cr0wn only alerting a horde, but now its just her death. anyway of maybe putting a cvar in to have it either/or. id rather only have a horde called when shes cr0wned. |
Re: [L4D/2] Crowned Horde
The plugin has been in the request forums for awhile, but I never got around to putting up an official topic. I will add a cvar for when to trigger the horde tomorrow.

Re: [L4D/2] Crowned Horde
Bigbuck, think you could thrown in a random element for the horde spawning on both triggers (witch death in general, crowning specifically) so survivors won't be able to anticipate it completely?
This could go over very well on 8v8 servers I think :) |
Re: [L4D/2] Crowned Horde
Version 1.0.1 has been released with the requested features. Please read the original post for more information.

Re: [L4D/2] Crowned Horde
Haha. I had JUST mentioned this in a game last night after both teams crowned the witch without even slowing down. Very cool. :)
|
Re: [L4D/2] Crowned Horde
So setting the trigger cvar to 1. When the witch is killed, does that include when she's crowned?
|
Re: [L4D/2] Crowned Horde
No, they are separate.
|
Re: [L4D/2] Crowned Horde
If they are seperate, how do we set it where both call the horde?
