Sprint
Version 1.4

Requirements:

• Sourcemod rev 1854+

Description:

This plugin will allow any player to sprint around the map any time they want. It is very convienient to use too. All you do is bind a key to "sprint" and tap it while running forward to boost your speed temporarily until you begin getting tired. To stop simply hit your "sprint" key again, or release your "forward" key. What sets this sprinting plugin apart from any others you might have seen is the acceleration/deceleration feature which gradually raises/lowers your speed instead of an abrupt change in speed. It includes an internal stamina system to keep track of how much time you need to rest. In the config you can modify just about any aspect of the plugin, you can change the speed of the sprint, the accel/decel factors, or how fast you gain or lose stamina. You can also configure it to inform the player of the mod every x rounds, or disable it completely.

Todo:

• Add option to take stamina for jumping, and make player jump lower if no stamina
• Bob crosshairs to reduce accuracy
• Add option to disable shooting entirely while sprinting

Installation:

• Download the .sp file (which should compile into a .smx file) and extract to sourcemod/plugins
• Install sprint.phrases.txt in sourcemod/translations/ (download right under .zip file link)
• Navigate to <yourgamedir>/cfg/sourcemod/plugin.sprint.cfg and configure the sprinting options (You may need to start your server one time with the plugin installed for it to be auto-generated, then you can edit)
• Your done!

Has anyone tried this?

[Greyscale]

Ech, sorry, I forgot to upload the translations file so it might not have loaded right. Read the new installation instructions.

Make a video ^^

cya

It might be too subtle to make a video.. The speed difference is only about 0.4-0.5 and it would be a boring video... heh. Just imagine hitting a key and speeding up for 6-7 seconds then slowing down until you gain enough stamina back

Nicely done.

Just a note: Did you know that if you register the console commands '+sprint' and '-sprint', users can bind a key to '+sprint' and -sprint automatically gets fired when they release the key. Useful if you want it to only sprint while they are holding the button (like walk).

You probably should also directly upload the sp file so it gets compiled against the latest compiler and include files when you click 'get plugin'. (This isn't a requirement, just a good idea generally unless you use custom includes)

Doesn't work on TF2 unfortunately, I just tried it out =/

[Greyscale]

pRED, yeah I knew about +/- commands but it seems easier just being able to tap a button to sprint, then to stop all you have to do is stop moving forward, jump, or shoot and it stops sprinting for you.

Is there another way of setting a player's speed in TF2? I can modify it to work if I find a way.

EDIT: Now compiles on download

Another one of your plugins I tried with ZombieMod.

Works as advertised, but I notice while I have the plugin loaded when players are Zombified some get randomly stuck in place, even if they !ztele back to spawn, they are still stuck. I unloaded the Sprint plugin and the problem went away.

P.S.Can't wait for you to release the new version of Zombie Reloaded. I used it for a few days and found it much better than ZombieMod, but there were a few problems that forced me to switch back to ZombieMod. I see you are fixing those problems.
