Description

This plugin changes the behavior of tank punchable cars.
Tank punch will have a default chance of 5% to completely smash the car.
Literally the car will get smashed like boats on Sacrafice, car pieces shouldn't hurt players at least not on intention.

Features
Crumbles cars like a cookie

Notes
Reports that L4D2 has purple parts on car crumble. So I guess it is not compatible...
I changed the rendercolor to black as a workaround, so at least they don't look too bad in l4d2 now...

To Do
I hope Silvers does not find out that I used & StrContains(modelname, "boat", false) == -1, he might get angry and beats me with a stick.
I really hope the plugin will slip through his sight, I am in fear what he will say about the repeating program parts.
Maybe make plugin for dumpsters, forklifter too!?
Maybe find extra models in l4d2 to show instead of l4d1 purple models but atm I can't be arsed rly.

Thank you!
Marttt - for suggestions on the original post and the whole programming contruction I stole from your tank car smash plugin. https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=335105
Silvers - for everything in the original post and that you dont beat me with a stick.

Post Reply
Any feedback, bug reports, fixes, improvements, translations or suggestions for the plugin are welcome.

p.s. I see someone already downloaded the source and I see Silvers online. I really live in fear now.

hahah!

You didn't indent the "PrecacheModel" lines

You can always search with "/" for paths. Are there several boat models to check for?

The repeated parts would be easy to reduce by creating a global int array for all the parts, then looping over them. Makes it easier to maintain/modify.

You can add me on Steam or Discord if you'd like to go through any plugins. PM if you like.

Nice plugin,

As a suggestion for future improvements, you can add a timer to delete the entities.
You can easily make it by using a SetVariantString.

Spoiler

PHP Code:

    // example deleting after 8 seconds
    SetVariantString("OnUser1 !self:Kill::8:-1");
    AcceptEntityInput(entity, "AddOutput");
    AcceptEntityInput(entity, "FireUser1");

Oh thx Silvers, I only need more freetime, job is keeping me busy but I will contact you.

Thank you Marttt, self cleaning entities! Very clever, I put it into the script. Works like a charm!

Hi,

I've tested this plugin on my linux server for l4d2. After tank smashes the car, the flying pieces have missing texture (purple texture). I have a feeling this may not be a plugin issue but I'm not sure how to fix it (for me and my clients).

[finishlast]

Is this visible for all players and all car parts? I thought the models should be the same as in l4d after valve ported the l4d1 maps.

Anyone else see purple stuff in l4d2 or only you?

I have not tested it with public games, but another friend of mine also saw black and purple pieces. I recall at least most of the pieces, if not all, are purple.

I can confirm that the parts are purple in l4d2.
Only the tires have their textures.

I have assumed that the texture materials for the l4d1 models should be in l4d2 too since they ported the original maps.

Looking at the authoring tools they are purple and black there too.

Not happening in l4d1 though.

As a hackish workaround I changed the rendecolor to black for the purple parts in l4d2, doesn't look too bad since they vanish after some seconds anyways.

Updated the plugin in the first post, if you wanna try it in l4d2.
