Another Plugin i wrote mostly for myself, but why shouldn't i post it here ;)


One problem in L4D(2) being a Boomer is you have no way to reliably puke Survivors in really confined spaces. A good Player will ALWAYS have meleed you already before the damn lagged puke affects anything. This Plugin gives you an edge ... a Boomer can strike first and BIT** SLAP!! one Survivor with a 10 second cooldown.

Both the Boomer and the Survivor get a HUD message and a (usually inaudible) soundeffect.
Also, theres a PrintToChatAll about who slapped whom.


Note the Survivor still sees his Melee Animation play - i've added a Soundeffect and HUD message to tell him Meleeing while Slapped is impossible.


As of version 1.5, ive made this Plugin compatible with stable Sourcemod 1.2 releases. I could do that using the magnificent SDKHooks extension by DJ Tsunami, which in turn are now required to run this plugin.


INSTALLATION:

Install SDKHooks extension by DJ Tsunami and then the plugins .smx file.

THE PLUGIN WONT WORK WITHOUT THE EXTENSION



For those who'd like the 'old' "Sourcemod 1.3" implentation (which doesnt need the extension), its still up for download. as the "SM1.3" file

The 'old' implentation is the only one that works with L4D2 as of now



CVAR
l4d_boomerbitchslap_power (default 150) - how much force is applied to the victum
l4d_boomerbitchslap_cooldown (default 10) - how many seconds before Boomer can Slap again, setting it to 0 will disable delay
l4d_boomerbitchslap_announce (default 1) - are slaps being announced in chat
l4d_boomerbitchslap_disabledtime (default 3) - how many seconds before a slapped Survivor can melee again


Changelog:
1.0 - first release
1.1 - Added Knockback
1.2 - Code Optimizations, less z-axis-Kickforce
1.3 - Bugfixes
1.4 - new cvars, public sound effect, bugfixes
1.5 - made SM 1.2 compatible, requires sdkhooks extension
*Jan. 28th 2017* fixed l4d2addresses Fling signature for windows

Thanks for the plugin, and heard that.

one thing I need to have explained, por favor
At first I thought this plugin prevents the survivor from pushing the boomer away, so that the boomer can vomit. But after looking at the code I think it´s not working that way.

This ONLY works, AFTER the boomer slaps (if ( StrEqual(weapon, "boomer_claw")) a survivor ? I am curious because I rarely see this kind of action in the game. Most of the time the boomer gets pushed away before he can perform any kind of action, thus he is help- and useless when a survivor melees him. Then he gets shot. The only situation where a boomer slaps a survivor is when the surv is a stupid who lets the boomer slap him or a real character who is already surrounded by a huge amount of normal zombies, so he is no threat either for the boomer who can vomit now without getting interrupted.

This is a workaround for 2 Problems:

A) The Boomer can't vomit for about 2 seconds after spawn. He CAN however melee ( therefore SLAP!! ) a Survivor and bile him then.

B) Boomers Bile does not take effect immediatly. If you run around a corner and start biling, the Survivors still have about one second to melee you. Now if you slap them first they dont


If the Survivor melees you faster than you can melee him, he has won

NOTE:

Melee has a scythe-like huge arc and attack duration (seriously, WTF). If he started a melee attack and you run into it, Slapping wont stop it or save you.

Hmmm... noch nicht GANZ das, wonach mein Boomer affines Herz sich sehnt So hier gehts also darum: Wer zuerst schubst, hat die besseren Karten. JETZT raff ich das

I am disappointed by 1 specific action in the gameplay: The boomer can get meleed back so far and he stumbles for 4 seconds without being able to do anything but watch how the survivors run away and kill him from safe distance. ---> Question: Is there any way to hang into a hookevent or whatever to reduce the time the boomer stumbles after being meleed by a survivor ? This is so annoying as it currently is implemented in the game. Or shorten the cooldown the boomer always has after he gets meleed ? It´s pretty hard sometimes to vomit on them immediately after spawning as you have to react extremely fast and aim good.

Version 1.1 added. Now has a knockback effect. (Not stumbling -.-)

[Skorpion1976]

Hi !

Judging from the code (TeleportEntity(target, NULL_VECTOR, NULL_VECTOR, resulting);)----> how far does it push the boomer back ?
Does teleporting have any negative impact on the vomit ability or does boomer have a cooldown after getting teleported ?

The Boomer is not the one getting struck back, its the Victim that is


My kickback gets the victims velocity, calculates the Slap Effect Vector, and then combines both (so you dont have that 'stuck in place' effect).

I suggest setting the power lower than 300 though ... you can slap them off buildings

[Don Punch]

I am getting some slaps that knock people like 50 feet in the air.

Altough I laugh my ass off every time I do it, I think that is kinda lame.

Can you make it so they stay on the ground when b slaped?

[AtomicStryker]

Just lower the Slap Power to 100 or something.


Alternatively you can change Line 82 in the code:

PHP Code:

resulting[2] = 100; 


should be just enough force to lift them a feet or so.
