[L4D & L4D2] Witch - Bots Trigger (1.2) [10-May-2020]

About:

The cvar l4d_witch_trigger_type "1": Makes bots startle the Wandering Witch when shooting her.
By default game only does this for Witches that are sitting.
This is not required for L4D1.

The cvar l4d_witch_trigger_type "0": Blocks bots from startling any Witch they shoot.
Bots can still startle the Witch by standing too near and shooting.

Thanks:

Xanaguy - For the original idea and request.
Lux - For scripting advice.

Cvars:

Saved to l4d_witch_trigger.cfg in your servers \cfg\sourcemod\ folder.

PHP Code:


		
			
// 0=Plugin off, 1=Plugin on.

l4d_witch_trigger_allow "1"

// Turn on the plugin in these game modes. 0=All, 1=Coop, 2=Survival, 4=Versus, 8=Scavenge. Add numbers together.

l4d_witch_trigger_modes_tog "0"



// 0=Prevent bots from startling any Witches when shot. 1=Startle all Witches when bots shoot them.

Re: [L4D & L4D2] Witch - Bots Trigger

Sorry I was unable to test the plugin yesterday.

There is an error loading the plugin:

L 11/27/2019 - 12:35:07: [SM] Failed to load plugin "l4d_witch_trigger.smx": Unable to load plugin (no debug string table).

Re: [L4D & L4D2] Witch - Bots Trigger

Was set to compile for SM 1.10. Changed to compile for 1.9.

Re: [L4D & L4D2] Witch - Bots Trigger

Alright, I'll be sure to try it out now.

I also have another idea that I wish to see possible.

Do you think that you're able to have an all-bot team (survivors) rush the map in campaign like they do in versus?

There are several plugins for this already.

Not exactly what I meant. That's just for points where they're guaranteed to get stuck.

In coop, bots take their time to progress through the map, often stopping along the way to deal with even a small group of zombies.
In versus, bots will easily move towards their next objective quickly rushing through hordes and stuff.

I was wondering if it is possible for bots to use the versus mode tactics in coop.

Re: [L4D & L4D2] Witch - Bots Trigger

Wish there was a way to make the bots have the same damage from the Spitter's acid ability, plus sb_unstick 0 still teleporting bots, when far away.

I actually made a plugin to only made spitter's acid damage to the bots exactly as player's damage. Also, the bots teleport to you from far away because of this cvar called: sb_enforce_proximity_range thing. If you set the number higher, the bots will not teleport to you no matter if you go more distance. But bots may teleport while in the elevator sometimes. Even the sb_unstick is 0.

By adjusting a bunch of cvars I guess, I've never had a server so never cared about doing this. There are serveral configs and things out there to smarten up bots.

Spitter Acid Damage ?

This is all wildly off topic.

Re: [L4D & L4D2] Witch - Bots Trigger

Yeah, sorry about that.
