Description
There is a game behavior that applies a skin change to special infected, while on fire, that darkens it's skin from time to time.
TLS brought these changes also to the other special infecteds (before was only available to the Tank).
Features
- Allows special infecteds spawning with burnt skin. (Configurable chance and percentage burn)
- Increases the maximum burnt skin value from 85% to 100%. (z_burn_max cvar)
- Bonus damage to special infected based on the % amount of skin burned. (default: 0-10%)
- Control how fast the burn effect grows on burning Tanks. (z_burn_rate cvar)
- Restores the Tank's burn percent when it gets frustrated (pass the control in versus).

Change Log
Known issues
- Special infected skin changes might NOT work with custom models.
- If a player controlling a Tank disconnects or changes team, the burn percent is reset (game behavior).
Notes
- This effect was achieved by changing the player m_burnPercent netprop value.
- The player classname has this netprop but it only applies changes to special infected.
- L4D1 support visual changes only to the Tank.
- The max m_burnPercent necessary to achieve 100% burnt skin for each special infected on L4D2 has different values. Check the Max SI Burn Percent Table.
Thank you!
