Purpose:

- Prevents server lags / low sv, when map/director decides to spawn too many zombies.

Description:

- Plugin instantly kills common zombies / special infected when their total number exceeds the limit specified by you.

Useful in cases with some (custom) maps where ConVars like "z_common_limit" e.t.c. doesn't help / or get overridden by some functions like this one / VScripts and so.

Plugin is not intended to limit the number of human-controlled infected in versus.

Conflicts:

This plugin does NOT affect any game ConVars, so it must be compatible with any other common/SI limits regulator plugins.

It counts the quantity manually and manually kills the leftovers over the limit.

Settings (ConVars):

Plugin instantly kills common zombies / special infected

Is this mean spitter will die and leave her spit on the ground or just disappear, Dragokas?

Looking at the code it runs RemoveEntity which I assume shouldn't drop any spit

Also this plugin is exactly what I need for those crappy custom maps, thanks

Die within 0.1 sec for safe purposes (and, likely leave her spit). Does it matter? Anyway, it is spawned in safe place.
Otherwise, particles can infinitely cycle.

Ok, I checked, it doesn't produce acid.

Great job @Dragokas,

Now I can play some custom maps that have entity/lag/fps problems caused by the number of commons being spawned.

As a note, I remember that maps that spawn zombies/SI through [(info_zombie_spawn / commentary_zombie_spawner) + logic_timer] entities usually leads to that.
(Rocket Escape and Helms Deep maps are such examples)

[Kid_Bandes]

Thanks Dragokas, this is what I need for any custom maps that spawn more than 2 tanks at the same time while using with infected bots plugin

Edit: One question, is the cvar "l4d_zombie_limits_si" count tank?

[Dragokas]

Updated.

1.1 (02-May-2021) - some optimizations. - safe check for entity -1 in OnEntityDestroyed - added ConVar "l4d_zombie_limits_witch" - Maximum number of witches allowed on the map simultaneously

For better witch number controlling experience it is recommended to use together with [L4D1 & L4D2] Multi witches, allowing to clear unused witched by distance.

[Dragokas]

Updated.

1.2 (02-May-2021) - Removed tank from counting as special infected, thus not affected by SI Limits.
