Thanks

On a side note, I wouldn't recommend using this mod if you spawn a ton of witches on a crowded server. It would lag like crazy because it checks properties on each witch every frame. But for a few witches its fine.

You could reduce the checks if you hook witch_harasser_set, and then hook ThinkPost for the witch who was harassed. Then the witch's properties will only be checked once she begins attacking someone.

lol default is 1000 not that i can say much i have my witch set on 17500 with infected digestion plugin cause i hate it when your playing versus and some co*ky b$rst*wart headshots it with a autoshotty on the fly and then keeps going like the witch might as well not have been there, with me its like creep up slowly without flashlight then aim for the head and fire and hope for the best, and its rare that it actually works, so i just avoid the witch, if i cant avoid her i molitov and run, if i get incapped ill crawl along the floor and hope the other players either kill her or she dies from the flames, tip mellee weapons are very effective.

from what i can tell this is simplier and maybe less buggy than evil witch?

I added this plugin to my listen-server with a small change.
I'm using L4D_Witches to spawn several witches as well (just like in Hard Rain, both Wandering and the regular ones). They're all default (1000hp).

I found interesting to change the behavior of them by lowering the rage rate if no survivor is in her sight anymore (close range). That force players to headshot her to move on - in case of small gap places. In case of fail, everyone around her has to run, avoid shooting her to death (that triggers a new target and causes her to pursuit the shooter) or she will kill every survivor in a close range. Right after that, she will just keep wandering/sit again.

Witches are still vulnerable but they can easily cause several 'mission_lost' that way. People learn and warn teammates to keep her alone.

If someone could update the gamedata for this plugin, it would be much appreciated since its quite good.

Still getting crashes with the newest gamedata as soon as the witch incaps/kills the first survivor.

If it doesn't work it must be incorrect. It might take time to find the correct signature. I will update asap.
