Hello, is any way to know who will become Tank before he takes control of Tank?

I think "tank_spawn" is fired after he spawned and can move and attack.

I need to know who will become Tank (for example, a Hunter player becoming Tank, or a Tank pass (losing control)).

A HUD message is show to the player "You will become a Tank" before it spawns. I think it may help.

I also tried "player_team" but GetZombieClass returns -1

EDIT:
Thanks everyone for your answers. I get it that it's not possible.... But is it possible know WHEN or where a Tank will spawn (no matter who)?

When playing versus, Tank, witches, molotovs, etc spawn at the same place for both teams. I guess it is defined by a seed.

If I know where the Tank should spawn, I can manually overload m_iTankTickets randomly and predict/force who will take control when survivors are near its spawnpoint.

Is there any way to know where the Tank should spawn before it spawns?

Not sure but in theory, I think the logic is based on who has the bigger "m_iTankTickets" netprop
Native "L4D2Direct_GetTankTickets" / Native "L4D2Direct_SetTankTickets"

I just don't know how to warn before spawn (like minutes earlier), maybe is related to survivor progress vs tank spawn progress defined

Anyway, I don't know how to get where the tanks spawns either, in zonemod some spawns are "fixed" so I believe is easier to find out

I don't think its possible as its not predetermined. There are parameters which define between min/max flow a tank can/will spawn, but don't think it gets decided in advance.

The way promod community has done it is that they manually overload the m_iTankTickets as Martt has stated.

TankTickets is not a guarantee that player will get the tank, unless all the other players have 0 tickets.

PHP Code:

float tankFlows[2];
L4D2_GetVersusTankFlowPercent(tankFlows);
PrintToChatAll("Tank Spawn At %f (Round 1) / %f (Round 2)", tankFlows[0], tankFlows[1]);
