[L4D & L4D2] God Frames be Gone

AtomicStryker · **Author**

Overrides Valves 'God Frames' .. the time right after being Pounced / Pulled / Ridden or Freed / Untied / Unseated / Unpummeled in which Survivors magically take zero damage.

For example: If a Survivor is standing in a fully active Spit area, and you Smokerpull him, he gets invincible for 2 seconds after your pull and for 2 seconds more when your tongue breaks. He easily dodges 20-30 damage that way. [Did i mention you cant control whom the damn tongue targets?!] I call BS on that.

Another example: You land on a Survivor in a beautiful arc and get a satisfying 25 Pounce bonus ... until you realize a Jockey had ridden the Survivor in the last fraction of a second, and you get NOTHING.

Same goes for Survivors standing up from being Pounced .. basically all situations in which the game DOESN'T APPLY any damage you deal to Survivors.

The Plugin monitors 'God Frame' creating events. It then checks affected Survivors health after an attack hit them, and if it finds the damage wasnt applied, it makes sure it does.

Damage dealt by the Plugin is correctly scored for the Infected responsible.

By default, only Special Infected [not the Witch] attacks get to override god frames. There is a convar by which you can extend that to Commons, but be warned. You can easily lose 50 health while getting up from a Pounce and being swarmed by Zombies.

Convars:

l4d2_god_frames_be_gone_version - informative

l4d2_god_frames_be_gone_enabled - controlling

l4d2_god_frames_be_gone_commons - (default 0) allow commons to pierce god frames

l4d2_god_frames_be_gone_debug (default 0) Sum of debug flags for debug outputs; 1-console, 2-log, 4-chat

l4d2_god_frames_be_gone_4spitter (default 1) Does Spitter damage override god frames?
