I JUST LOVE YOUR CREATIVITY!!

super fun stuff, thanks for sharing once again : ))))

Might be cool to remove all melee weapons from a map and make the tank drop one when he dies... Makes melee weapons super rare :D

Re: [L4D2] Melee Weapon Tank
 

Add a cvar if a tank's melee weapon are randomized. (Baseball bat, katana, etc) With the chainsaw (with infinite gas) being the rarest. :D
Make sure the melee models are precached or it will cause some errors. (like machete, golf club)

Oh and I'll test it in versus...

EDIT: Another thing, also add a cvar for a tank to be forced to be always carrying a certain melee weapon like:
l4d2_tank_force_melee "weapon_weaponname"

Re: [L4D2] Melee Weapon Tank
 

My server is crashing on dark carnival right when tanks spawn. Im guessing its because I cannot have ALL melee weapons on ALL maps. So when a tank spawns with a machete, the server crashes because you cant have machete's on Dark Carnival. I havent tested the passing and the sacrifice yet either, they may crash too when i have 8 tanks playing.

edit: Just added the .vpk that allows all melee on all maps. No more crashing. :)

Re: [L4D2] Melee Weapon Tank
 

I think the problem is here:
for(new i=1; i<7; i++) PrecacheModel(WeaponName[i]);
need change to :
for(new i=1; i<=7; i++) PrecacheModel(WeaponName[i]);

man you have a great creativity! congratulations

Re: [L4D & L4D2] Melee Weapon Tank
 

I will test this out. This is great XD

If I modify your scale values for the various weapons, will it move them out of place? or do they scale from a special origin?




EDIT: I also like suggestioner's idea. But maybe with a twist. Instead of making the melee's super rare, maybe you could just make him drop whatever weapon he is carrying, but in the large form (like your enlarged melee weapons plugin). and it can do the extra damage/range to make it 'special'.

that would be pretty cool.

not necessary though, just added fun :]

Re: [L4D & L4D2] Melee Weapon Tank
 

Thank you suggestions, the dropped special melee weapon will in the next version.
If you modify the scale a little bigger or smaller, it do not change the posistion ralated to tank's hand.

Re: [L4D & L4D2] Melee Weapon Tank
 

support l4d1 mmm :o

Re: [L4D & L4D2] Melee Weapon Tank
 

Yes, l4d1 have guns and witch, so tank can take them.
