So, if we were to block Teleport if CTerrorPlayer is a Survivor Bot and a distance away from the target, the Bot would probably simply remain where it is, and not move toward the human on foot like Marshal hopes.

I believe (and have seen) survivor bots teleport far distances when they aren't stuck. It seems to be triggered based on how far they are from a survivor player.

Its a safety mechanism aswell. L4D2 actually crashes when the game tries to compute too long paths. If you teleport an incapped Bot all across the Parish Finale Bridge the game will crash trying to get Bots to move over there.

1. sv_gametype does not exist. It´s sv_gametypes (plural).
2. Why do you use BOTH toolz and downtown for slot patching at the same time? Either or.
3. Are you a member of at least 1 steamgroup of the corresponding cvar ?
4. You have this "setmaster add hl2master.steampowered.com" in your server.cfg ?

Hey Skorpion,
Damn I missed this - I actually edited the post you responded to (but seems the edit didnt show up) but had said I fixed it, but thanks very much for tips here. The slot stuff was making me crazy.
The problem with the server not showing up was a dumb one - I had commented out the Host name a few days back because I was testing and forgot to uncomment it. doh.

I've since removed Toolz, but still have a problem which you can read a few posts back.

Cheers,
Pax

Mr. Zero

Just wondering, does the extension registry a library? Couldn't see anything suggesting it in the source.

Otherwise, I would like to request it.

Added for the next version. The library name will be "left4downtown2".

Mr. Zero

Another request.

GetSurvivorSet as a function to retrieve the current survivor set.

AtomicStryker

Did you read the feature list.

/**

forward Action:L4D_OnGetSurvivorSet(&retVal);

/**

*/
forward Action:L4D_OnFastGetSurvivorSet(&retVal);

Mr. Zero

What if the my plugin gets the survivor set first, than another plugin changes the value after I have already checked it?

Will I get the changed return value, or the original value?

AtomicStryker

Depends on the order the plugins were loaded.

Yes i know that's stupid, but for some reason they dont want to change it.

Also .. using this to change L4D2 survivors to L4D1 has issues. If it were easily possible to make a Survivor-Swap plugin, i would have already made it.

Mr. Zero

How about a simple post hook then?

L4D_OnGetSurvivorSet_Post
L4D_OnFastGetSurvivorSet_Post

To ensure the returned value gets forwarded.
