LAST VERSION & ITS DESCRIPTION HERE

This is my first sourcemod plugin. It is mostly intended for players who play singleplayer but find the bots useless. It could also be useful if you play with one or two friends and want the extra bot(s) to actually be helpful.

Would you add the ability that bot survivors are immune to the damage of fire and spitter's goo? It's annoying to see stupid bot survivors incapacitated in molotov fire and spitter's goo when playing expert coop game.

I want people who have kick permission to use.
This feature is cool
How to modify it?

[xQd]

Here is version 1.1 of this plugin. Bot toughness changes dynamically along with the current game difficulty. Higher difficulty = tougher bots in essence.

This table represents bot toughness on each difficulty:

Difficulty.....Damage Taken Multiplier......Damage Against SIs Multiplier.......Damage Against Commons Multiplier

Easy.........................1.0............. .........................1.0................. .................................1.25

Normal.....................0.75.............. ......................1.10................... ..............................1.50

Advanced..................0.50............... .....................1.20.................... .............................1.75

Expert.......................0.25............ .......................1.30.................. ................................2.0

Also, bots will take much less damage from fire sources and they will take normal damage while incapped. Not sure how to make them more resistant to Spitter's acid.

Here you go:

PHP Code:

if (inflictor > 0 && IsValidEntity(inflictor) && IsValidEdict(inflictor))
{
    char sInflictorClass[64];
    GetEdictClassname(inflictor, sInflictorClass, sizeof(sInflictorClass));
    if (StrEqual(sInflictorClass, "insect_swarm"))
    {
        // some codes here
        // bug: when changing its damage, the acid puddle
        // immediately damages any survivor once it is spawned..
        
        return Plugin_Changed; // apply the modified parameters
    }
}

Thanks, I may include this in the next version. How did you know that insect_swarm is the entity class name I've been looking for? There is a list of L4D2 entities here in the "Unlisted" section but there is no hint that insect_swarm is actually the acid puddle.

I think making them immune to spitter's goo is a little too op, you could try installing Competitive Bots+ from the Steam Workshop which makes the bots have faster reaction times. With that mod they seem to dodge the acid puddle pretty well.

I've always had a thing for curiosity and a little help from looking at every source of the plugins related to L4D(2).

+1. So long Improved Bots mod.

[xQd]

Version 1.2 is out!

Fixed a bug where bots became invulnerable to any damage done by the infected after map change;
Corrected an error to bot damage against common infected.

[xQd]

Another small update, 1.21, which fixes another bug which made the bots invulnerable after failing a mission at least once on the current map.

[xQd]

Update 1.3 is out!

Fixed yet another bug which made the bots invulnerable. I hope this is the last one;
Added l4d_tsb_enable cvar which enables/ disables the effects of this plugin on the bots.
