Script by Frustian revised for L4D2 support by NscMike

Bind a key to sm_drop, or type in chat !drop (public trigger) or /drop (private trigger) to
drop the weapon you are holding on the ground for another survivor to use.

If you allowed dropping arbitrary weapons, put the weapon name after the command to drop it.

E.g. !drop shotgun

l4d2_drop_version "1.0" - Version CVAR
l4d2_drop_specify "1" - Whether or not to allow a player to drop a weapon they are not holding.

What'd be even nicer is being able to drop anything you want. (as long as you're holding the item)

Some examples:

- when holding a medkit, type !drop and the medkit drops.
- when holding 2 pistols, type !drop and 1 pistol drops.
- when holding a melee weapon, type !drop, the melee weapon drops and you're left with 1 pistol.

good idea?

I haven't tried this mod out yet, but I can already tell by looking at the code that there are a few things you haven't upgraded/ported properly:

1. You can't drop the new pistols. Only "weapon_pistol", which is the L4D1 class name, looks like it is supported.
2. You aren't properly setting the ammo for the L4D2 weapons being dropped. I have a hunch that when you go and pick the weapon up again there will be a 0 ammo reserve.

I haven't modded for L4D2 yet, nor know of the proper class names and ammo offsets to fix this, otherwise I'd help you out.

@cigs
you can drop your items and weapons with a bind key
just type this in your console
bind "t" "sm_drop"
then if you press t you will drop your weapon you are holding

@rek075
1. hm ok i'll check this
2. hm i got full ammo when i picked up a dropped weapon

Do you get partial ammo if the dropped weapon isn't completely full? The original L4D mod has the weapon dropped to have the ammo count of the player transferred to the weapon, so that when the weapon gets picked up again it retains the ammo count it original had when being held.

[NscMike]

right
if a other player picks up the weapon he gets only one magazine of ammo
and i try to solve the problem with the dual pistols

Thanks for the plugin.
Is it possible to make it throw instead of droping?

that would be terrible.
think,
where the item it's launched would be really unpredictible, the item may be launched on places where it's unreachable, or dangerous.

hey, can you make players drop their weapons when they ammo account reachs 0?

I don't think so, in CSS you can throw weapons, I would like the same things. We can throw gas can to gather them in one place, it would be useful to gather med pack, weapons, pipe bomb, etc.

depends of the force of the throw and the terrain.
