About : This plugin aims to be a simple fix for the bothersome bug where if survivor death animations are enabled, survivors would just endlessly loop through the death animation and never actually die.
How it works :
The plugin uses the SDK_Hooks OnTakeDamagePost (version 1.0 used player_hurt) event to predict when a player is supposed to die, as enabling death animations make it so a survivor never actually dies at all.
When the plugin finds a situation where the player are expected to die, it creates a timer, this timer is long enough to last the whole death animation, and once the animation ends, the survivor is slayed (via ForcePlayerSuicicide()).
EDIT : As of 1.4, this plugin no longer uses damage detection, as this was causing false positives, and this would either kill clients when they weren't supposed to die, or not kill them when they were supposed to die and leave them stuck in the animation.
Video Demonstration
Here
This plugin makes the Survivors Ragdoll upon death by default, however, Ragdoll Deaths can be disabled via the plugin's CVAR
This plugin only applies ragdolls to Death Animations, If you want Ragdoll deaths in almost every possible situation, I suggest downloading Mr.Zero's Restore Ragdolls
This plugin requires l4d_stocks to compile (included in the download).
CVARs :
Code:
// Should Survivors turn into Ragdolls upon Death? 0 = Disable Ragdoll Death, 1 = Enable Ragdoll Death
// -
// Default: "1"
// Minimum: "0.000000"
// Maximum: "1.000000"
enable_ragdoll_death "1"
Change Log :
Code:
Version 1.0 2014-09-02 (48 Views)
- Initial Release
Version 1.1 2014-09-05 (7 views)
- Semi Major code re-write, moved from using a "player_hurt" event hook
to SDK_Tools OnTakeDamagePost (Huge thanks to Mr.Zero for that)
- Hopefully, there should no longer be any cases were survivors
endlessly loop through their death animations and never die
Version 1.2 2014-09-10 (218 views)
- Survivors should no longer able to perform any actions while
in the middle of their death animations (except vocalizing under certain circumstances)
Small Update to 1.2 2015-02-23 (40 views)
- Adjusted the timer so that ragdoll deaths are now always fluent instead of resetting the animation and bouncing off on death at random times
Version 1.4 03-25-2015 (11 views)
- Complete Plugin Rewrite, this plugin no longer uses shitty damage detection!
- This plugin will now ALWAYS 100% Guarantee work as intended, this is done by the new check
- The plugin now instead of predicting when you die, it will instead check for clients
to see if they are in the dying animation instead, this means now players will only
die when the game decides it and this thus removes any and all faulty damage detections
Version 1.5 03-29-2015
- Fixed an issue where survivors that where in the dying animation could still revive incapacitated survivors
or attempt to heal with a medkit
To Do List
Code:
(Done?) Find a method to stop reading/prevent any/all inputs done by a survivor while in the dying animation.
Implement Scene Processor to block all vocalize commands initiated by a player who's in the Death Animation.
Bugs :
Code:
- THIS PLUGIN IS INCOMPATIBLE WITH UNDO FF! IF UNDO FF IS ON SUVIVOR BOTS ARE CAPABLE OF COMMITING TEAMKILL AND KILL YOU ON ACCIDENT
