Requires Left4Dhooks
I might add a few features but this fixes bugs that ruined my stock of the upcoming Point System API
Code:
// bNoPick = cannot press mouse2 to change to another SI in a ghost spawn by the plugin l4d2_zcs.smx
#pragma deprecated Wait for Point System API, this stock might not work...
stock bool PSAPI_SpawnInfectedBossByClassname(int client, const char[] name, bool bGhost=false, bool bNoPick = false)
{
if(StrEqual(name, "survivor") || StrEqual(name, "witch"))
return false;
// Multi tanks will create utter chaos if we don't first swap to a non-tank class prior to spawning the player.
L4D_SetClass(client, view_as<int>(L4D2ZombieClass_Charger));
L4D2_SetPlayerZombieClass(client, L4D2ZombieClass_Charger);
// Safety measurements.
L4D_State_Transition(client, STATE_DEATH_WAIT_FOR_KEY);
float fOrigin[3];
GetEntPropVector(client, Prop_Data, "m_vecOrigin", fOrigin);
// Regardless of bGhost, we switch to ghost. If not ghost, we materialize.
// We must become ghost prior to sending the event or zcs will wait another 0.1 seconds until we're alive.
L4D_State_Transition(client, STATE_GHOST);
if(bGhost)
{
// ZCS is really really annoying with its demands.
Event event = CreateEvent("ghost_spawn_time");
event.SetInt("userid", GetClientUserId(client));
event.SetFloat("spawntime", 0.0);
event.Fire();
}
// isRelocating and isCulling are not a solution to make a no pick, you can only respawn yourself and then swap to ghost as the only solution.
// isRelocating is not 100% grasped by me, but isCulling checks if a living player can teleport and become ghost for being too far away from survivors.
// isCulling is not a player that already pressed E to teleport as a living player.
//SetEntProp(client, Prop_Send, "m_isCulling", bNoPick);
//SetEntProp(client, Prop_Send, "m_isRelocating", bNoPick);
if(bNoPick)
{
// Respawn is required to make ZCS think we relocated. Must put state transition above to ensure spec2ghost take the OnEnterGhostState
L4D_RespawnPlayer(client);
// Since we must switch to ghost again, we must recreate the spectator origin to activate spec2ghost
TeleportEntity(client, fOrigin);
// On top of state transition required to negate RespawnPlayer, you must switch state twice to remove a fake message of "You are too far away from survivors" caused by either isRelocating or isCulling
L4D_State_Transition(client, STATE_GHOST);
}
for (int i = 0; i < sizeof(g_sBossClassnames);i++)
{
if(StrEqual(g_sBossClassnames[i], name))
{
L4D_SetClass(client, i);
L4D2_SetPlayerZombieClass(client, view_as<L4D2ZombieClassType>(i));
}
}
PSAPI_FullHeal(client); // I don't know how, but I once spawned as a tank health smoker.
if(!bGhost)
L4D_MaterializeFromGhost(client);
return true;
}
Do not expect me to help you with less than a 1.10 compiler & server.
I am available to make plugins for pay.
