Features:

• Provides more options for both games, such as when the screen should turn black and white and how many revives are allowed.
• Options to control when the heartbeat sound plays and when survivors should start vocalizing that they're about to die.

• This plugins cvar l4d_heartbeat_revives overwrites the games survivor_max_incapacitated_count cvar, so set your desired value in this plugins cvar config.
• Cvar default values of "2" is what the game uses by default.

• This fixes L4D1 players going from black and white on the 2nd revive to normal color after subsequent revives when increasing the survivor_max_incapacitated_count cvar value.
• In L4D1 this plugin overwrites and controls "m_currentReviveCount" netprop. Because this variable can no longer be relied on, plugins using that must change to use the 2 natives provided for accurate revive counts.
• In L4D2 this plugin overwrites and controls "m_bIsOnThirdStrike". This netprop and the one above are used to make players screen black and white.
• The bug is described here by Dragokas.

Natives: (for 3rd party revive/respawn style plugins)

Spoiler

• 3rd party plugins (especially revive/respawn plugins) can use the following natives to get and set the revive count, when not reverting to 0 revives on player spawn.
• Use the get native if required, then revive/respawn the player, then call the set native with your desired value, otherwise it will be set to 0.

PHP Code:

/**
 * @brief Gets the revive count of a client.
 * @remarks Because this plugin overwrites "m_currentReviveCount" netprop in L4D1, this native allows you to get the actual revive count for clients.

good!

Hello?

I've encountered an issue with your plugin. If I set survivor_max_incapacitated_count to 0 (you know, for a hardcore server), then if someone goes AFK, then goes back, the heartbeat sound starts playing to this player. The same goes to switching to another bot using the Survivor Bot Select plugin.
Also if I do the same in server config file, nothing changes.

Any chances you could look for a possible solution please? Honestly, I was hoping that with your plugin I'll be able to solve this problem…

[Silvers]

I can't duplicate the issue. Can you provide some details on the steps required to cause this bug? I tried going AFK and using Survivor Bot Select plugin.

Are you changing "survivor_max_incapacitated_count" cvar itself or are you setting "l4d_heartbeat_revives" to 0 which is what you should be doing because the latter overrides the former and required for the plugin to function correctly. Also send me your cvars config for this plugin so I can test with the same values. Thanks.

[Endoyurei Shirokuro]

Well, I'm going AFK. When I press LMB to take control over bot, the heartbeat sound starts playing.
When I type !pickbot in chat and take control over another bot, I hear the heartbeat sound.
The sound doesn't start playing to a player who just connected to the server, though.

I've tried changing those cvars separately (I mean, before changing «survivor_max_incapacitated_count» I remove your plugin). If I don't change the default cvar (or even remove it from the server config), but change the cvar in plugin's config, I hear the heartbeat sound.

Just changed «l4d_heartbeat_revives» to 0. Nothing else.

Only give the survivor a chance to fall down, can appear black and white and heartbeat
