[L4D] Character select panel

MagnoT · **Author**

Description:

This plugin allows players to select a character on every map load during the game. It's quite silly but since a lot of people liked it, I decided to post it. Make sure you understand what this plugin does because people can choose any character. It doesn't matter if someone already picked up any of them. Zoeys can be really stressful (screams). It is NOT a bot takeover! It changes the character (including model, vocalizes etc).

Purpose:

Since I looove Zoey

and team_desired sometimes fails, also, it can't guarantee I will really play with the character I want, I managed to get any of the characters I want. Awesome!

Config:

-l4d_chars_enable (default '1'): Turn on/off character select panel. Locate the L4D_charselect.cfg file to set it up (<left4dead\cfg\sourcemod>).

Credits:

Again, Valve for the cool game. SourceMod team.

Change log:

0.x - Base code (setting up the correct convars and retrieving models).
1.0 - First release.

Known bugs:

- Witch seems to pick up the player whom wake her up by it's character so if any clone wake her up, she will hunt one of the clones.
- Tracked by myself: if a player join in the middle of the round and choose a different character, the weapons can be placed in wrong positions, specially if you change/switch weapons. I'm testing the solution.
- If someone 'take a breath', he can't take over again. This is really unusual and only happens with a very few people. Maybe it's a client problem only.
- Again, this is very unusual, but just like the witch issue, the mission stats show wrong data about clone players.
