Hmm, very interesting.

[Oshroth]

Sweet. Plugin got approved.

I like the idea of this plugin. Would it be possible if you could create a cvar that enables / disables this plugin? Also, would it be possible to edit the intervals between each damage? Example, instead of 1 damage every sec for 10sec, make it so u can edit when u take the damage, example: I can make it so u take 1 damage every 3, or 4, or 6 seconds for 10secs.

I am looking for something like this for my custom-rebalanced server. I will be adding the spitter swipe, though not the boomer (my boomers have enough "tricks"). Is there a way of making customized effects for other classes? I am mainly after a "bleeding" effect from hunter slashes (my hunters have the pounce caps increased but nothing else to speak of), or maybe a daze/slow from charger punches (who also have nothing noteworthy added to them)?

If it's possible to add some custom effects to these normally range-based attackers (like the spitter), then it gives a new reason to actually make them run in for attacks.

you should check for when a client disconnects and kill his timer/reset his vars

you should also set the timer to not carry over maps - otherwise someone could end up spawning with a damage timer active.

and on the same token.. you should reset the 2 global vars either at map end or map start (and when a client connects - maybe reset his vars)
** and when a player changes teams (otherwise his new infected character could take damage).

Oh you should also put a FCVAR_DONTRECORD on the version cvar.

I wanted to change how the DoT works to make it more like a spitter puddle. While doing that, I implemented the changes that needed to be done (in my above post). i also added hooks to the cvars so they can be changed on the fly..

The acid swipe is more like how a spitters puddle works: damage increases as time passes. Except you can get out of a puddle. To reduce this damage you have to stop the swiping.

I also didn't want the scratch to be too over powered.. so I set it up to have the first scratch be normal, and then increase in power with each additional scratch..

The default values I have in the plugin:
damage is 0.125 + previous damage from previous tick (eg: after 2 ticks its 0.25 and after 3 its 0.375).
if damage is < 1 - it is applied as 0, but the player 'feels' damage
rate is 0.25 seconds (victim takes damage 4 times a second)
duration is 2.0 seconds (total of 8 DoT's + swipe damage)
stack duration is 1.0 seconds (+4 DoT's per swipe)

The first damage is applied at time 0, and because of the ramping nature of the damage, I also reduced the claw damage from 4 to 2

How the changes work:
This means the first claw is normal damage (4), but every swipe after that is +25% damage (2 swipes is +25%, 3 swipes is +50%)..
5 swipes would result is double the normal damage.
9 swipes and the player is incapped from 100 (full) health with 0.25 seconds (and 5 more damage) remaining on the DoT. total damage from 9 swipes is triple what would normally occur.

as you can see below.. the player doesn't actually take damage for the first 1.5 seconds of the swipe, but he thinks he is..

list of changes:

/*
    Version 1.2:
        Created globals for all the ConVars so calculations/lookups only have to be made once.
        Added hooks to all the convar changes (another reason why they are global).
        Changed the DoT from int time/damage to floats. This allows for more options.
        Added a rate ConVar so you can do damage at 0.1 second intervals or 10 (or more) second intervals.. not just 1 second.
        Created handles to the timers so they can be properly closed as needed.
        Made the plugin cvar not record in the config file.
        Added some color to the messages.
*/

** WARNING ** A low rate combined with a high damage and/or duration(+stack) WILL kill players quickly. eg:
Just doubling the damage will incap a 100hp player with 6 swipes.
Increasing the duration to 10 seconds (and using other values at default) will incap a player in 1 swipe.
Decreasing the rate to the min 0.1 and keeping the other values default, only takes 3 swipes and 3.9 seconds to incap someone.

Im not sure if it was my testing with bots or if it has to do with how the damage is applied.. but i did get an occational +1 damage per swipe after the first (eg: 3 swipes would do 19 instead of the 18 it should have, 4 swipes would do 29 or 30 - instead of the 28 that it should). I'll have to get back to that issue later, maybe do a check of health to see if it is what i expect (as long as its not due to math rounding issues), and if not tweak it.

Anyway, if the author wants to apply my change to the DoT, go for it.. otherwise, at least apply the fixes to the existing code.
