Description

Resets the healing progress bar when the healer distance exceeds the maximum allowed. (96, defined by the player_use_radius cvar)

Exploit often done in the finale chapter of L4D2 Parish (c5m5_bridge) by griefers, which don't let their survivor teammates climb the ladders, causing them to fall and get stuck for a while, until the progress bar is cancelled or completed.

Also fixes a bug where it is possible to keep healing a teammate even after the target is punched by a Tank and goes beyond the healing radius.

Steps to Reproduce

Spoiler

L4D2: c5m5_bridge map / L4D1: l4d_hospital05_rooftop map:

• Get a First Aid Kit.
• Start healing a survivor with health not fully fulfilled while it is climbing the ladder.
• The target will fall.
• The target will be immobilized.
• The healing bar will keep running unless you cancel or complete the action.

Tank punch bug:

• Get a First Aid Kit.
• Start healing a survivor that will be punched by a Tank.
• Check if the survivor goes very far from your position.
• The target will be immobilized.
• The healing bar will keep running unless you cancel or complete the action.

Cvars

A configuration file named "l4d_healing_dist_fix.cfg" will automatically be created for you upon the first run in the "\cfg\sourcemod\" folder.

Change Log

Spoiler

1.0.2 (25-January-2023)
- Changed the radius check to be based on player_use_radius cvar.

1.0.1 (03-January-2023)
- Added L4D1 support. (thanks "KadabraZz" for reporting)

1.0.0 (02-January-2023)
- Initial release.

Notes

• The radius check still isn't 100% accurate according to the game core logic, because it does several checks, but is better than vanilla behavior. (search for: CBasePlayer::FindUseEntity())

Thank you!

• HarryPotter - for reporting the Tank punch + keep healing bug.
• KadabraZz - for reporting the same bug in L4D1.
