[L4D(2)] Take Over Bot
 

Plugin features:

• Take over survivor bot when you die.
• Added a CVAR (tob_respawn_time) that enables you to configure the respawn time

Note:

• You should put the .txt file in your gamedata directory!
• Taking over infected bots is not possible at this moment, since we cannot SDKCall Director functions (L4D)

LS,

Here is my first public plugin that I release on this forums.

It basically lets you take over a survivor bot when you die and before it does that it will give a message to the player. It also lets you spectate the bot a few seconds before.

Kind regards,

Matthias Vance

sb_takecontrol <bot_name>, where <bot_name> is zoey louis francis or bill. This cmd have cheat flag but work fine.

I don't want players to be able to use commands, this will give the first player that dies control of the available bot.

Re: [L4D] Take Over Bot
 

Maybe you sholud change sdk call to Fake Client Command

new String:command[] = "sb_takecontrol";
new flags = GetCommandFlags(command);
SetCommandFlags(command, flags & ~FCVAR_CHEAT);
FakeClientCommand(client, "sb_takecontrol bill");
SetCommandFlags(command, flags);

Will this work in both VS and COOP???

Re: [L4D] Take Over Bot
 

I don't like using commands for stuff that's totally unnecessary. I consider it as a hack. Thanks for sharing your opinion though.

Yes it will! :D, there is one problem though .. if all survivors die (on either VS or COOP), and there is one bot left, nobody will be able to take this bot because the round will end.

try to change sb_all_bot_team to 1

Re: [L4D] Take Over Bot
 

That's actually a good idea, but it affects other situations. I will look into it after this weekend!

Re: [L4D] Take Over Bot
 

why cant this be made to work with the add bots plugin and then have it made so that real people could take over those bots?
can you combine the 2? or mod this one so that people could join and take over bots?

Re: [L4D] Take Over Bot
 

Yeah I could make that work. Will look into this during the following week!

Regards,

Matthias
