when survivors is near a entity or wall, warp ability teleport tank sometimes teleport to the entity or wall making the tank unable to move..

Example:

This is Ghost Tank..The following is the warp setting.

PHP Code:

"Warp Ability"
{
    "Open Areas Only" "1"
    "Human Ability" "0"
    "Human Ammo" "2"
    "Human Cooldown" "20.0"
    "Human Mode" "0"
    "Ability Enabled" "2"
    "Ability Effect" "0"
    "Ability Message" "0"
    "Warp Chance" "100.0"
    "Warp Interval" "20.0"
    "Warp Mode" "0"
    "Warp Range" "150.0"
    "Warp Range Chance" "0.0"
    "Warp Hit" "0"
    "Warp Hit Mode" "0"
} 


This problem exists in multiple versions, including the latest 8.90~

I haven't gotten around to addressing this issue yet. I'd appreciate it if anyone can show me a snippet of how to pick a random spot for teleporting players that can filter out solid objects/brushes because I'm not good with TraceRay stuff.

I use Dragokas's - Tank anti-stuck (anti-block) together with Mutant Tanks and besides the tank getting stuck sometimes, his plugin unstuck the tank after a while.

I don't know if the plugin logic is embedded on MT but I use both in my servers.

MT doesn’t have any anti-stuck logic embedded, but the issue also refers to something that MT is causing, so I want to update the teleportation code because users shouldn’t have to rely on another plugin to fix MT’s flawed logic.

I understand that there will be users who prefer to use other plugins to balance Tank health, so I have added a "ConVars" section that allows you to change any convars from the game or other plugins. It works like server.cfg basically. You can use the player-count configs option which allows you to set the Tank's health yourself depending on how many players there are. (i.e. 8000 for 2 players, 16000 for 4, etc.) Here's an example: PHP Code: "Mutant Tanks" {     "Plugin Settings"     {         "ConVars"         {             "tank_health_versus"        "6000.0"             "tank_health_expert"        "8000.0"             "tank_health_advanced"        "8000.0"             "tank_health_normal"        "4000.0"             "tank_health_easy"        "3000.0"         }     } }  If you really want to use MT's own health system, then I don't see a reason why it wouldn't work with "director_tank_auto" set to "0". I use a slightly modified version of Shao's SuperVersus and I never had to edit the health system to get it to work.

So I tried modify MT's health system, when the tank appear it has the health I set for it but immediately dropped down to default health...

PHP Code:

"Health"
        {
            "Base Health"                "10000"
            "Display Health"            "5"
            "Display Health Type"            "2"
            "Health Characters"            "|,-"
            "Minimum Humans"            "2"
            "Multiply Health"            "2"
        } 


Could you link me the SuperVersus version you're using Psyk0tik? I would like to try to see if my version is the cause.

Also, what does the "Items Chance" in the "Items Ability" actually do? Does it stand for the chance one survivor get one of these predetermined items or entire team? Cause I lowed the chance but seem like everyone will be rewarded with random items everytime. 8+ players.

PHP Code:

"Item Ability"
        {
            "Human Ability"                "1"
            "Ability Enabled"            "1"
            "Ability Message"            "1"
            "Item Chance"                "20"
            "Item Loadout"                "defibrillator,pain_pills,pain_pills,pain_pills,adrenaline"
            "Item Mode"                "0"
            "Item Pinata Body"            "0"
        }

1. modified version SuperVersus of Shao's should be this? https://forums.alliedmods.net/showpo...postcount=1285
If you are using the tank health setting of MT, Please remove other tank health setting plugins to ensure normal operation.. MT health setting is working properly in my server..

2."Items Chance" is after tank death have how chance all survivor get item.
(if "Item Mode" set 0, all survivor get a "Item Loadout" set random one item. set 1, all survivor get a "Item Loadout" set all items.)

1. I'm using this Shao's version along side with ABM, and pretty sure I've set the "director_tank_auto" cvar to 0 in the cfg. Don't know what's causing the bug here tho

2. I see, so is there any way to modified it so when the Tank die, each survivor get a chance to obtain such items? Though that randomness would make it more fun.

Thanks for replying yuzumi

You can try to use navigation meshes for warping.

Left 4 DHooks have those natives

PHP Code:

// Given a vector position, returns the relative NavArea.
native int L4D_GetNearestNavArea(const float vecPos[3]);

// Returns the nav address of the last known area.
native int L4D_GetLastKnownArea(int client); 


Should be something like this

PHP Code:

{

    Address area = view_as<Address>(L4D_GetLastKnownArea(client));
    
    if ( !area )
    {
        // Maybe here we can still use your old logic of warping
        return;
    }
    
    float vOrigin[3]
    
    vOrigin[0] = view_as<float>(LoadFromAddress(area + view_as<Address>(40), NumberType_Int32));
    vOrigin[1] = view_as<float>(LoadFromAddress(area + view_as<Address>(44), NumberType_Int32));
    vOrigin[2] = view_as<float>(LoadFromAddress(area + view_as<Address>(48), NumberType_Int32));
    
    TeleportEntity(tank, vOrigin, NULL_VECTOR, NULL_VECTOR);
} 


but you still need to calculate if tank can fit into navigation mesh or after teleporting you can call CTerrorPlayer::WarpToValidPositionIfStuck

Im not sure if it will completely fix stucking but atleast this will reduce its frequency

ABM and shao's version SuperVersus they all have tank health setting, ABM set "director_tank_auto" cvar to 0.

SuperVersus Comment out tank_spawn eventhook, This event in this plugin is set tank health if spawn tank.

PHP Code:

HookEvent("tank_spawn", Event_TankSpawn, EventHookMode_Post); 


change to

PHP Code:

//HookEvent("tank_spawn", Event_TankSpawn, EventHookMode_Post);

What would this look like in-game? The current logic for teleporting the Tank to a survivor is this:

When the teleporting occurs, it gets the current position of the survivor target. Then it will pick a random spot within a 50.0 radius of that position to teleport the Tank to.

So with your suggestion, will it have a similar effect? I ask because I don't want the Tank teleporting far away from the survivor target. That would go against the original purpose of the teleportation.
