[L4D & L4D2] Infected Ghost Leap
 

Since this requested Plugin was a HUGE success in playtesting

The SM 1.3 Version lets you leap around as (any class) Infected Ghost by right-clicking (or whatever youve bound ATTACK2 to).
SM 1.2 Version has it bound to RELOAD button.


Note the vertical jump power is always the same (so jumps behave predictable), but your nonvertical momentum is multiplied. Just try it out ingame, you get a good feeling for it very fast.


I have Versions for SM 1.2 and >=1.3 both

THE 1.2 VERSION WILL NOT RECEIVE UPDATES ANYMORE, ENDING AT 1.0.3


L4D2 requires the 1.3 version


Enjoy :)



Convars:

l4d_ghostpounce_flightspawnallowed (default 1) - setting this to 0 disables spawning while ghost pouncing.


Version History:

1.0.0 - release
1.0.1 - bugfixes, mainly for SM 1.2 version
1.0.2 - code optimizations
1.0.3 - added Boomer Allowance cvar
1.0.4 - removed Boomer Allowance cvar, added midflight spawn cvar

Very nice! I will have to test this today.

Re: [L4D] Infected Ghost Pounce
 

Can you explain a bit more clearly? It makes it sound like the plugin lets you do leaps as a ghost to aid in getting to a location, but then you mention pounce?

Re: [L4D] Infected Ghost Pounce
 

Doesn't work for me. Using SM 1.2.1.

When I do it on a ladder, it says I need to be on flat ground, but that's all.

Re: [L4D] Infected Ghost Pounce
 

That's too much exploiting as it is. I do not approve.

Re: [L4D] Infected Ghost Pounce
 

ya im on 1.2.1 and it doesnt work for me

Re: [L4D] Infected Ghost Pounce
 

Yeah I was thinking the same.

Does it apply to all ghost classes? Or only the hunter?

Re: [L4D] Infected Ghost Pounce
 

I think, that when you are slow, than you jump like normal, but if your are fast, than you jump (or pounce) like a hunter.

Maybe therefor the infected are a little unbalanced, because as a boomer you can jump like a hunter, spawn and will get the survivors from many more far away positions like you can reach now. (I hope, you understand what i mean ;) )

I will testing it.

Re: [L4D] Infected Ghost Pounce
 

Oh nice, I've been working on something sort of like this except instead of pouncing it's flying. Will be playing around with this.

Re: [L4D] Infected Ghost Pounce
 

What about the function is unclear? I write its for ALL GHOST INFECTED, and you can do anything from jumps to pounces depending on your running speed? This means going slow translates into a high vertical jump and going fast translates into a huge arc.

Being able to reach new areas is one of the things that makes this Plugin so cool.


About 'not working version for SM 1.2' - im gonna try it right away.
