L4D1 Disable director tank spawn on certain maps

Hi,

is there a way to block director initiated tank spawns?

I want to block the tank on l4d_vs_smalltown03_ranchhouse in l4d1.

I spawn one by a custom event and don't want the director to spawn one too.

How does the director know that he is supposed to spawn one anyways?

Thx.

Re: L4D1 Disable director tank spawn on certain maps

You could use forward Action L4D_OnGetMissionVSBossSpawning(float &spawn_pos_min, float &spawn_pos_max, float &tank_chance, float &witch_chance); from left4dhooks and set 0.0 tank chance and return Plugin_Changed. Probably would do it, since this is for Versus mode.

Thx once again silvers, seems to work! Very good!

PHP Code:


		
			
#pragma semicolon 1
#pragma newdecls required

#include <sourcemod>
#include <sdktools>
#include <left4dhooks>
#define PLUGIN_VERSION        "1.0"

public Plugin myinfo =
{
    name = "[L4D] Disable director tank",
    author = "Finishlast",
    description = "[L4D] Disable director tank",
    version = PLUGIN_VERSION,
    url = ""
}


public Action L4D_OnGetMissionVSBossSpawning(float &spawn_pos_min, float &spawn_pos_max, float &tank_chance, float &witch_chance)
{


char sMap[64];
GetCurrentMap(sMap, sizeof(sMap));
if (StrEqual(sMap, "l4d_vs_smalltown03_ranchhouse", false))
{    
    tank_chance = 0.0;
    return Plugin_Changed;
}
else
{
    return Plugin_Continue;
}
}

Re: L4D1 Disable director tank spawn on certain maps

mmmmh just found out, the tank spawned by stripper is an AI tank. Wonder why.

Geesh.

OK so must be because the tank is spawned wrong.

Anyone know why this spawns a tank in l4d

PHP Code:


		
			
...
"OnStartTouch" "z_spawn_tank1,SpawnZombie,tank,3,-1"
}
add:
{
    "origin" "-12790 -4480 282"
    "targetname" "z_spawn_tank1"
    "angles" "0 0 0"
    "classname" "commentary_zombie_spawner"
}

The spawned tank is AI tank.

PHP Code:


		
			
...
"OnStartTouch" "z_spawn_tank1,SpawnZombie,,3,-1"
}

add:
{
    "targetname" "z_spawn_tank1"
    "origin" "-12790 -4480 282"
    "population" "tank"
    "offer_tank" "1"
    "angles" "0 0 0"
    "classname" "info_zombie_spawn"
}

And this simply does nothing? I mean I see no spawned tank at all.

According to the valve documentation I have to use info_zombie_spawn but nothing happens in l4d1?!

Update:

nevermind, I didn't have a population for tank, silly me.

I just use the sacrifice tank population now, works like a charm...
So if anyone got a problem with info_zombie_spawn should check in /scripts population file, if there is an according entry...

PHP Code:


		
			
add:
{
    "targetname" "z_spawn_tank1"
    "origin" "-12790 -4480 282"
    "population" "tankriver_docks_trap"
    "offer_tank" "1"
    "angles" "0 0 0"
    "classname" "info_zombie_spawn"
}
