Sniper Charge 1.01 by Avalanche (last updated 06/30/08)

I actually stole this idea from another game, and I love it. In order to fire the AWP (and optionally Scout), you have to hold down primary fire as it charges up, and once it's charged, you can release fire to shoot. While charging, you have a lasersight to give away your position. It makes sniping a lot more challenging.

There are three charge modes. Mode 1 is as described: hold down fire to charge, and once charged you can release fire to shoot. Mode 2 is like Halo's Spartan Laser: as soon as the charge is full, it automatically shoots. Mode 3 is like TF2's Sniper: you can fire at any time you want, but the damage you do is based on how full your charge is.

This requires AMXX 1.80, Cstrike, Fakemeta, and Ham Sandwich. Note that any cvar changes will not take effect until a map change or until the round is restarted (sv_restartround). Because the cvars can be checked every frame, they are cached to save processing.

I would like to give credit to Jussi Kivilinna (http://koti.mbnet.fi/axh/) for his Metamod Lasersight plugin, as I based all of my lasersight code right out of that.

Here is the full cvar list:

• charge_mode_awp (default 1)
  • The charge mode for the AWP. See description above. Set to 0 to disable.
• charge_time_awp (default 3.0)
  • How long it takes to fully charge the AWP.
• charge_movespeed_awp (default 0.75)
  • The percentage of regular speed that you move at while charging the AWP.
• charge_zoomonly_awp (default 0)
  • If enabled, you can only charge the AWP while scoped, and cannot unscope while charging.
• charge_laser_awp (default 1)
  • Whether or not the AWP has a lasersight beam while charging.
• charge_dot_awp (default 1)
  • Whether or not the AWP has a lasersight dot while charging.
• charge_meter_awp (default 1)
  • The style of charge meter for the AWP. See screenshot/video above. Set to 0 to disable.
• charge_sounds_awp (default 1)
  • Whether or not the AWP has charging sounds.

• charge_mode_scout (default 0)
  • The charge mode for the Scout. See description above. Set to 0 to disable.
• charge_time_scout (default 3.0)
  • How long it takes to fully charge the Scout.
• charge_movespeed_scout (default 0.75)
  • The percentage of regular speed that you move at while charging the Scout.
• charge_zoomonly_scout (default 0)
  • If enabled, you can only charge the Scout while scoped, and cannot unscope while charging.
• charge_laser_scout (default 1)
  • Whether or not the Scout has a lasersight beam while charging.
• charge_dot_scout (default 1)
  • Whether or not the Scout has a lasersight dot while charging.
• charge_meter_scout (default 1)
  • The style of charge meter for the Scout. See screenshot/video above. Set to 0 to disable.
• charge_sounds_scout (default 1)
  • Whether or not the Scout has charging sounds.

Look like i may not restrict awp anymore on my server, awesome.
I suggest you to cache cvars 7sec after mapchange, so amxx.cfg and per maps .cfg have been executed.

Interesting, really.

OFT: tf2 rules. I've added many things from it into cs. The only thing I want to add is that sprite thingy when you dominate someone or make a critical hit or even get an achievement. However, I cannot do that be cause of the absence of proper sprites.

connorr: You're right, I forgot about that. Updated then, thanks.

arkshine: Ribbit.

Pamaliska: Surely it wouldn't be too hard to steal the resource from TF2 and turn it into a HL sprite?
