Description:

FMST is a modification to the Soldier's shovel which causes it to self-combust via Mouse2 (right-click.) It is based on the Mac Update's comic. Players must be Soldiers, have the Shovel actively drawn, and can only self-combust once per life.

SM 1.3 or later is a requirement for this plugin to work due to its use of the new TF2 natives.

Cvars:

• shovelcombust_version - Version of the plugin.
• sc_enable 1 - Enable the plugin.
• sc_gameplay 0 - Enable explosive damage to enemies close to the shovel upon combustion.
• sc_damage 50 - How much damage the explosion deals.
• sc_ignite 1 - Non-zero causes players within range of the explosion to catch fire.
• sc_duration 10.0 - How long the effects of the ignition last.
• sc_strength 4.5 - Strength of the knockback caused by the explosion.
• sc_radius 50.0 - Players within this range of the player are affected by the explosion.
• sc_uber 1 - Non-zero ubers the player when ignited.
• sc_crits 2 - 0=No crits, 1=Full crits, 2=Minicrits
• sc_numtimes 1 - How many times the player can ignite in a life.
• sc_cooldown 10.0 - Duration of cooldown before ignition can be triggered again (this time starts after the duration defined in sc_duration expires.)
• sc_messages 2 - Format for displaying messages regarding how many ignitions are left and when ignition is ready to use (0=No messages, 1=Chat prompts, 2=Center screen prompts)
• sc_explosion 1 - Non-zero enables the explosion particle and sound effect.
• sc_firewep 1 - Non-zero enabled the burning shovel particle effect.

NOTES: All cvars between (and including) sc_damage and sc_crits are only used if sc_gameplay is set to 1.
