A little Plugin i wrote to automatically resolve the rare but annoying L4D2 bug, which causes a Survivor to be Pummeled by a spawning-ghost Charger.

The (ghost but not actully dead) Charger is slain, freeing the Survivor.



Cvars:

l4d2_ghostchargerfix_version



Changelog:

1.0.0 - release

seems nice.

but i dont get that bug O.O

[crazydog]

Does this also fix ghost infected being stunned by an alive charging charger?

[AtomicStryker]

Havent heard of that bug before. What do you mean by stunned

[crazydog]

Well, you can test this out yourself.

Have someone be a ghost infected, and charge at their ghost. The ghost will stumble and be stunned (as if meleed)

[Thraka]

I verify that bug. I was a ghost and a charger who was spawned charged through me into a survivor and I was stumbled back when he touched me. Annoying

[AtomicStryker]

Unless someone figures out how to stop staggering first - no.

I added logging. Just a lol because valve never trully fixed this. It still happens but it's just more rare than it was before
It was the day before that I had another occurance of this bug but didn't have this plugin on then.

I know for a fact there is basically a single guy working on L4D maintenance, and he isn't touching any of the more dangerous code regions.

Yeah his/her name is Kerry I bet.

He's been doing work lately but I don't expect it to trend.
