[L4D1 & L4D2] Throwable Announcer [v1.0.8 | 05-September-2021]

Marttt · **Author**

Description

This plugin outputs to the chat every time someone throws a throwable:

Molotov
Pipe Bomb
Vomit Jar

There are some plugins in the forum that already does that for the molotov, because of the molotov_thrown event,
But since we don't have specific events for pipe bomb or vomit jar, some people requested me to the same for both, mostly for the vomit jar because of the [L4D2] Bile the World plugin.

Features

Output the name of who threw a throwable to the chat.
Allow selecting which throwables should output to the chat.
Allow selecting which teams should see the message.

Preview

Chat message examples
