. Reverse Friendly-Fire (l4d_reverse_ff) by Mystik Spiral
Reverses friendly-fire.
Attacker takes damage, victim does not.
Objectives:
Do not allow griefers to cause friendly-fire damage to other players.
Incentivize all players to improve their shooting tactics and aim.
Description and options:
Reverses friendly-fire weapon damage on survivor team and claw attacks on infected team.
Does not reverse burn/blast damage, except for grenade launcher and incendiary/explosive ammo.
Supports client language translation: English, French, Spanish, Russian, and Traditional Chinese.
Options for the true(1) / false(0) parameters below:
· 1 = friendly-fire is reversed for that option and the attacker takes damage.
· 0 = friendly-fire is disabled for that option and the attacker does not take damage.
ReverseFF when attacker is an admin. [reverseff_admin (default: 0)]
ReverseFF when victim is a bot. [reverseff_bot (default: 0)]
ReverseFF when victim is incapacitated. [reverseff_incapped (default: 0)]
ReverseFF when attacker is incapacitated. [reverseff_attackerincapped (default: 0)]
ReverseFF when damage from mounted gun. [reverseff_mountedgun (default: 1)]
ReverseFF when damage from melee weapon. [reverseff_melee (default: 1)]
ReverseFF when damage from chainsaw. [reverseff_chainsaw (default: 1)]
ReverseFF during Smoker pull or Charger carry. [reverseff_pullcarry (default: 0)]
_____________________________________________
Options for the damage modifier parameters below:
Range: 0.0 - 2.0
0.0 = disabled
0.1 = 10% of real damage
0.5 = 50% of real damage
1.0 = 100% of real damage
1.125 = 112.5% of real damage (12.5% extra damage)
Added two new parameters by popular demand to allow victim damage...
Survivor bot victim: reverseff_botdmgmodifier
Survivor human victim: reverseff_humandmgmodifier
These two parameters control how much damage friendly-fire victims take, and operate independently of the parameters that control how much friendly-fire damage is reversed to attackers. If you want survivor attackers to have 80% of damage reversed, survivor bot victims to take 100% of damage, and survivor human victims to take 50% of damage, then you would set:
Without this plugin, if you shoot another player while they are being pulled by the Smoker (before they are choked) or while being carried by the Charger (before they are pummeled), the game engine would trigger friendly-fire. Setting reverseff_pullcarry=0 allows you to turn this off, and is the default. The game engine does not generate friendly-fire if you shoot another player while they are pinned by the Hunter or Jockey and is not affected by the reverseff_pullcarry setting.
The proximity feature (reverseff_proximity) compares the distance between the attacker and victim, and if the distance is less than reverseff_proximity, ignores friendly-fire. The default value is 32, which is where players bodies are so close they begin to overlap. However, you could also set it to a lower value (more body overlap before friendly-fire is ignored) or a higher value to provide a buffer around you for griefers/idiots that run through or in front of you while you are firing. Also note this feature ignores melee weapons and chainsaw... those will always generate friendly-fire (unless you have one of the other ConVars set to negate that). You can disable this feature by setting reverseff_proximity=0. If you want the opposite effect... ignore friendly-fire when the distance is greater than reverseff_proximity (instead of less than) then set reverseff_proximity to a negative value.

-- If the attacker is using explosive/incendiary ammo, the victim will not stumble/burn, but the attacker will.
-- Due to this fix, the "reverseff_self" ConVar is no longer used and needs to be removed from the cfg file.
-- Remove "reverseff_self" entry from l4d_reverse_ff.cfg or just delete the file and let the plugin recreate it.

I know there are many friendly-fire plugins out there already, but it has been my experience that most of them do not work at all or have too many bugs to be useful. I had been using one of those other plugins for a while, and fixed several bugs with it, but some things just could not be fixed (hooking player_hurt), so I created this new plugin using the new (SM 1.7+) syntax. This plugin hooks SDKHook_OnTakeDamage to intercept damage, and uses SDKHooks_TakeDamage to reverse the damage. Note that if you shoot a teammate with explosive ammo, you (the attacker) will be stumbled, not the victim. Similarly, if you shoot a teammate with incendiary ammo, you (the attacker) will be lit on fire for a few seconds, not the victim.

If attacker weapon has incendiary/explosive ammo, increase damage to attacker by 12.5%.
I haven't yet figured out how to tell if the grenade launcher (projectile) has incendiary/explosive ammo, so there is no extra damage for that weapon yet. All other primary weapons should be working fine with higher damage when using special ammo. The special ammo extra damage is not a true reversal, but is a good compromise until/if I figure out how to directly reverse it.
this plugin is perfect for me
It would be possible to add a .cfg to activate or deactivate the immunity to the administrator or to control the weapon damage

It might be a while, but I would like to add some ConVars for that, and also to enable/disable the plugin. And as I mentioned in the last post, I also want to reverse damage for grenade launcher projectiles.
I was able to get to this sooner than expected and released version 1.2...
Code:
Added dynamically changeable ConVars:
reverseff_enabled: set to 1 to enable plugin, 0 to disable
reverseff_immunity: set to 1 to make admins immune to reverse FF damage, set to 0 to reverse FF damage for everyone
reverseff_multiplier: if attacker is using explosive or incendiary ammo, increase damage by this multiplier
default is 1.125 (12.5% extra damage), 1.0=no extra damage, 2.0=double damage
Also added a standard ConVar:
reverseff_version: shows the plugin version
If you are a server admin, and you have the admin system active on your client, you can change these ConVars during the middle of a game. For example, bring up a chat window and type...
!cvar reverseff_immunity 0
...to instantly make everyone, including admins, take reverse friendly-fire damage. Another example...
!cvar reverseff_multiplier 1.25
...to instantly make explosive/incendiary ammo do 25% more damage to the attacker than regular ammo.
Of course, the changes are not permanent. To make your changes permanent, edit the values in the cfg/sourcemod/l4d_reverse_ff.cfg file.

Reason: add examples
New version 1.3 released, see original post for download.
Added new ConVar "reverseff_bot" to determine if friendly-fire against bots should have damage reversed. Default is no. I created this option because bots often move in unpredictable and stupid ways, including walking into your line of fire even when you are crouched and not moving. With the default value, only attacks against human victims will reverse damage.
The plugin now also detects when the grenade launcher has incendiary ammo and deals the appropriate (reverseff_multiplier) extra damage for it. Explosive ammo for the grenade launcher is not checked, because in my tests, there was no difference in the amount of damage between regular explosive ammo and explosive explosive ammo. I think that explosive explosive ammo for the grenade launcher may just expand the kill/stumble zone, but I'm not sure about that.
If you have an older version of the plugin installed, you will need to add an entry to the "l4d_reverse_ff.cfg file to use the new ConVar, but I recommend you just delete the cfg file and let the plugin create a new one for you.

I already have the other reverse_ff plugin; let's see the difference.
