So as I understand it, the plugin take over director's SI spawn, therefore all SI in the server follow "l4d_infectedbots_max_specials" value (the amount of SI present at one time is limited by this cvar regardless of "z_minion_limit" value), is that correct? Thanks Harry.

Slightly crooked display of Russian text, but everything else seems to work great.

my mistake, redownload again

[thewintersoldier97]

Nice update with great new feature! Thanks Harry.

[LinLinLin]

I am doing the same plugin for studying sourcepawn , and actually i don't like mix all gamemode in one plugin , it looks so big and hard to understand .(especially for green hand like me hahah). I want to make a version just for coop/realism , and i have many question about director and some cvar after looking up this plugin.

The following are all in coop/realism mode.

1.by setting all "z_xxxx_limit" to 0 can prevent director to spawn all types of SI ? i would like to use plugin to control SI and director to control the tank and witch spawn.

2.what the different between "z_spawn" and "z_spawn_old" ?

3.why we need kick fakeclient of infected after using CreateFakeClient ? I think maybe fakeclient is an entity with 1< ent <31 index and another real client create after changing it's team , so we need to kick the fake client to reduce the slot use. Is that right ? But how can i get the real client id about this bot , use some event like player_spawn or player_team to get it ?

4.In the original of this plugin , Spawn_Infectedbot_Director and Spawn_Infectedbot are similar ,
Spawn_Infectedbot has the extend part

PHP Code:

if (b_IsL4D2 && GameMode != 2)
    {
        new bot = CreateFakeClient("Infected Bot");
        if (bot != 0)
        {
            ChangeClientTeam(bot,TEAM_INFECTED);
            CreateTimer(0.1,kickbot,bot);
        }
    } 


i don't know why we need this in l4d2 , anyclient is to use cheatcommand "z_spawn_old" , but what about this bot ? z_spawn_old shold create a new client , i think maybe there are some bot in infected team and have no infected to play, z_spawn_old will use them first ?

5.Do i need to consider about ghost state of SI in coop/realism mode (no real player in infected team).

6.It is necessary use createtimer(0.1) to kickclient later ?
very thanks for any help about those.

this is the file

I don't know many answers to your questions. That being said, z_spawn got changed via an update in l4d2 and killed many old plugins since the new command spawned infected on top of the players. That is why coders replaced it with z_spawn_old most of the time that showed the old, normal spawning characterics.
