Description:
When i first started playing left 4 dead, i always wondered why didn't cars explode as in GTA for example, so i decided to make this for myself. I think it would be cool to share it anyway
.
This plugin will make all cars explode after they receive enough damage. The cars get damage from anything, even shoving them will damage them (Of course, the damage will be minor).

-Client side crashes on c5m3_park for low performance computers (Solutions: Higher car health - Lower particle time - Disable the plugin on that map) - Unable to find permanent solution, stick with the other ways the plugin offer.
Thanks to:
-AtomicStryker for his help and interest on the plugin.

SCRIPTING:
-This plugin provides one forward that will be fired every time a car explodes. You can code some plugins wiht it, like for example, call a message or punish someone.
To add the forward just move the
explosivecars_dev.inc file into your scripting/include folder. Then include it adding this line in your plugin.
PHP Code:
#include <explosivecars_dev>
and call it using this format
PHP Code:
public OnCarExploded(attacker, car)
{
//Stuff here
}
Note that the attacker param will not always return a client index, so put some filters on it. The car is the car index that exploded.
