Hi, folks! Question is related to l4d2 game, by the way. Is there any way to make the water not to extinguish player? Maybe there are some water properties or engine function that can be patched? I assume, it can be done by using hooks, ignition and so on, but it's a bit tricky and complicated way...
Was trying to find same topic or something similar, but faild to.

You can detour the "CTerrorPlayer::Extinguish" function with DHooks and block it when the player is in the water.

Be warned that the detour will be fired wayyy too often while the player is in the water because it's constantly checking if the player should be extinguished. When it's just firing for one player, there's no difference in performance, but I'm not entirely sure if you can say the same with multiple burning players in the water.

Anyway, here's a small plugin using the method I mentioned above, and the necessary gamedata info. Both L4D games are supported.

I'm sure you can just patch the function to return early, but I'm not sure when to patch it exactly since I can't find a function that fires when a player enters/exits the water.

I guess, it must be one of those calls in: CBasePlayer::WaterMove or CBasePlayer::UpdateUnderwaterState
