[L4D] Drag and Drop
 

This plugin is intended to enhance the smoker's ability to disrupt the survivors. Once the survivor is paralyzed by a dragging smoker, the plugin will cause the survivor to drop their equipped item. Survivors will also drop their equipped item when they get incaped along with their grenade.

Please post any feedback or suggestions.

This plugin requires [L4D] Drop Weapon.

Shouldnt you actually just "include" Drop Weapon plugin so you could refer to its contents more easily?

BTW - Nice idea for plugin.

Re: [L4D] Drag and Drop
 

good! But need drop grenades/medkits/pills, when you down?!

Re: [L4D] Drag and Drop
 

Very interesting idea, I like it.

I don't mind if you just copy&paste the one function you need in my plugin into yours, so you don't need a dependency, as long as you give me credit for it.

Re: [L4D] Drag and Drop
 

the weapon dissapears or is droped?
and just when you get to the smoker or when the tongue touches you?

Re: [L4D] Drag and Drop
 

Thanks! I thought of this a long time ago, I just had no idea how to do it. When Drop Weapon came along it made it a snap to implement.

As far as including the Drop Weapon plugin, is there another way to use it that does not involve forwarding a call to it?

Re: [L4D] Drag and Drop
 

I was thinking of making it so you can specify if the survivors loose their other items when they're dragged, not when they go down. I'm not sure if this is what you meant by your question, could you rephrase it?

Re: [L4D] Drag and Drop
 

Thanks man, that's really cool of you! The main reason I didn't want to copy and paste your function is that I feel the survivors should have the functionality of Drop Weapon if this plugin is implemented. Imagine a scenario where one survivor looses his weapon and can't retrieve it. Drop Weapon allows the other survivors to help him out by giving him their primary or a second pistol.

The other reason is that this way you can update the functionality of the DropSlot function and I wouldn't have to worry about updating it here.

If anything, I wouldn't mind if you added this plugins functionality to yours. There isn't much to it and it feels like a natural extension to Drop Weapon.

Re: [L4D] Drag and Drop
 

The weapon is dropped, so any of the survivors can pick it up afterwards.

When a survivor gets hit by a smoker tongue he has one second before he gets paralyzed and can't use his weapon. The plugin waits one second to give the survivors a chance to use their weapon before making them drop it.

I think I get the jist of what you mean. Added item dropping on incap.
