[L4D & L4D2] Special Infected Ability Movement (1.2) [23-Oct-2019]

Silvers · **Author**

About:

This plugin lets the Tank, Smoker and Spitter continue running whilst using their ability.

Boomer can be enabled with: sm_cvar z_vomit_fatigue 0;
Smoker speed while the tongue is out: sm_cvar tongue_victim_max_speed;

Some cvars for allowing continious usage of abilities, for reference and testing.

PHP Code:


			
sm_cvar z_tank_throw_interval 2;

sm_cvar z_vomit_interval 0;

sm_cvar tongue_hit_delay 0;

sm_cvar tongue_miss_delay 0;

sm_cvar z_spit_interval 0;

sm_cvar z_charge_interval 0;

Pretty good stuff

Now all that's needed is for someone out there to release the one plugin I saw years back that was never shared publicly to my knowledge where the tank could actually grab the survivors if close and throw them.

That...and someone out there gets really clever and restores the old L4D2 beta charger behavior seen in the old gameplay footage.

Instead of...

Left Click = Charge/Pummel
Right Click = Melee

It was most definitely

Left Click = Charge
Right Click = Pummel

The abilities were separated and im almost positive he couldn't melee. That overhead windup slam was a thing of beauty. Too bad they probably removed the animation for it.

I found that the Spitter Tank can be moved. Why can't Smoker move?

Spitter Tank Boomer Can move.
Boomer Need the following command support to move [sm_cvar z_vomit_fatigue 0].
Smoker No matter how you test it will not move.
