TF2 Medipacks
 

Description

This plugin allows medics to drop Medipacks on death or with secondary Medigun fire before they have reached full UberCharge. You can choose between 3 modes, the first one will only make Medics drop a Medipack on death. The second mode will allow medics to use their Medigun with the alternative fire to drop Medipacks and pay for them with UberCharge. And the last mode brings the first and second mode together.

Admins are also able to change a Medics current UberCharge amount/level and set it to a value between 0 and 100. Another cool feature is the ability to set a default UberCharge that Medics will receive on spawn.

Thanks to [gh]ferret who helped me a lot getting this thing done. Another thanks goes to GreyScale who pointed me into the right direction about how to find the current weapon. And the last thanks goes to GODJonez for pointing me into the right directions, too. This is my first SourceMod plugin and I hope you enjoy it!

Re: TF2 Medipacks
 

Nice job. I see you figured out the TeamNum issue as well.

Re: TF2 Medipacks
 

Sounds awesome.

Is there any chance you could add an option to have all classes drop medipacks on death?

Re: TF2 Medipacks
 

Yes, now it's correctly set, but changing it to 2 (BLU) or 3 (RED), does not prevent the other team from picking them up. So, nothing to play with :/

arakcheev, I could add an option to specify which classes are allowed to do that, but I am not sure if that wouldn't hurt gameplay to much.

Re: TF2 Medipacks
 

And just for your information. I am currently working on the same thing for Engineers, but with Ammopacks. It's a little bit different, because the Metal amount is not stored inside a weapon. It takes some time to find the correct property.

I personally don't like the idea to make other classes drop ammo- or medipacks. I would also have to track a lot more player positions in that case, I think that would hurt the performance and gameplay. Also there would have to be more weapon checks... hm, noo. That would hurt inside each gameframe. Sorry.

Re: TF2 Medipacks
 

any chance you could maek a base plugin just for the sm_ubercharge

Re: TF2 Medipacks
 

Yeah, I could make a plugin providing sm_ubercharge and sm_metal. But, I would probably have to give them other names in that case, to avoid conflicts.

Re: TF2 Medipacks
 

love the plugin. my server seems to crash when its on. ran fine for an hour with it on. removed it twice to make sure it wasnt a fluke. any ideas?

Re: TF2 Medipacks
 

appears the plugin doesnt play nice with knifesyphon.smx or variableff.smx. i got reports that whenever a spy knifes a medic the server goes, but i think its coecidence.... both medipack and ammopack seem to work ok now since i removed the two other plugins

Re: TF2 Medipacks
 

nope, take it back. still randomly crashes.
