[L4D2] Jockey Pounce Damage
 

Introduction

This was originally requested here. Nice idea IronWarrior.
The basic idea is that when a jockey jumps from somewhere high, then lands on a survivor it does extra damage, pounce damage.
The pounce damage done is then removed from the survivors health.

Commands

sm_jpd, !jpd
Lists the top 5 jockey pounces.

CVars

l4d2_JockeyPounce_enabled "1"
Should the plugin be enabled
Default: "1"

l4d2_JockeyPounce_cap "100"
Cap of the maximum damage a pounce can do
Default: "100"

l4d2_JockeyPounce_scale "1.0"
Scale how much damage the pounce does (e.g. 0.5 will half the default damage, 5.0 will make it 5 times more powerfull)
Default: "1.0"

l4d2_JockeyPounce_minshow "3"
Minimum damage a pounce should do to show the pounce message
Default: "3"

l4d2_JockeyPounce_blind "150"
How much the jockey should blind the player (0: non, 255:completely)
Default: "150"

l4d2_JockeyPounce_display "2"
How message should be shown, 0 - Disabled, 1 - Chat message, 2 - Hint Message
Default: "2"

l4d2_JockeyPounce_display_max "0"
Show the damagecap in the display message
Default: "0"

l4d2_JockeyPounce_store_stats
Store the top pounces
Default: "1"

Notes
If you are using the jockey blind plugin, either, set the blind in this plugin to 0, or remove the jockey blind plugin. If you are using the jockey blind plugin, the survivor will not see the pounce message as the jockey blind plugin removes the hud.

You can explain to me Cvars l4d2_JockeyPounce_scale "1.0", I do not understand much (_ _!).

Re: [L4D2] Jockey Pounce Damage
 

Sure :)

Basically its just a scale increase of the damage.

Let's say you did a pounce worth 20, if l4d2_JockeyPounce_scale was 1.0, the damage done to the play would be 20 so nothing has changed. but if you set l4d2_JockeyPounce_scale to 2.0 then the damage done would be doubled, so 40 damage would be done to the player and 40 would be shown on screen. and if you set l4d2_JockeyPounce_scale to 0.1 then 2 damage would be done, as 0.1 is the same as dividing by 10.

It was just a way of letting you change the damage done if you didn't like how it is by default, personally I think how it is is the perfect amount of damage, though I would say that since I wrote it lol :P

isnt it a little too much? lol

Re: [L4D2] Jockey Pounce Damage
 

To get it you would have to jump over 1100 in height... thats about 60 tables high thats about 18 floors... I don't think theres a building that high lol :P

But still thats why I added a Cvar, so you can change it yourself...

Re: [L4D2] Jockey Pounce Damage
 

is there a way to make the text show the actual damage done,but shows the max,and make it appears in chat?also,can u make the person that did the pounce be able to see how much damage he did too?

Re: [L4D2] Jockey Pounce Damage
 

The damage gets displayed to all clients... but not in the chat, it displays a hint to all.

Re: [L4D2] Jockey Pounce Damage
 

the damage conflicts with jockey jump plugin as a client gets informed when he pounces,hence not being able to see the damage.
thats why im requesting for the damage to appear in chat :(
i have pounce announce and i set it to appear in chat..
so mind adding a cvar to choose which type we want it to be displayed?
heres the format i thought of:
Jockey Darren pounced iloveyou for 49 HP!(max:25)

Re: [L4D2] Jockey Pounce Damage
 

oh, i dont use the jockey jump plugin so i'll have to have a look into that, ill ad a cvar to choose how it gets displayed... though I don't get the max bit?

Re: [L4D2] Jockey Pounce Damage
 

Thanks for the fast response!Heres a better way to explain it.

Jockey Darren pounced iloveyou for 49 HP!(max:based on l4d2_JockeyPounce_cap)

so if i set l4d2_JockeyPounce_cap "25"

it would appear as...

Jockey Darren pounced iloveyou for 49 HP!(max:25)

also..
there are no conflicts with jockey jump,its just that jockey jump goes thru hint text,and your plugin does that as well.

thanks!
