THIS PLUGIN IS OBSOLETE. USE THIS INSTEAD: [L4D & L4D2] Target Override



Related Plugins:

• [L4D] Target Patch - Ignore Incapped (for L4D1 only).
• [L4D & L4D2] Tank Punch Force

About:

• Restores L4D1 game behaviour so the Hunter and Tank can attack incapacitated and vomited players.
• This overrides the ChooseVictim function, by setting the nearest survivor as target.
• Can also prevent specific Special Infected from targeting incapacitated survivors.

• Does not account for line of sight which would need constant inefficient trace rays.
• Trace rays could be fired every half a second or so. Only request if really needed.

Thanks:

• Sev - For the idea and request.
• BlackSabbarh - Also for the request.
• Lux - For fixing God Frames detour which is similar to this, and would not be possible without.

Changes:

1.3 (14-Jan-2020)
    - Added cvar "l4d2_target_patch_wait" to delay between switching targets unless current target is invalid.
    - Now using "GetClientsInRange" to select potentially visible clients. Thanks to "Peace-Maker" for recommending.

1.2 (13-Jan-2020)
    - Added cvar "l4d2_target_patch_targets" to control which Special Infected cannot target incapped survivors.
    - If used, this will change those specified Special Infected to target the nearest non-incapped survivor.

1.1 (13-Jan-2020)
    - Fixed mistake causing error with "m_isHangingFromLedge". Thanks to "Astrostar" for reporting.

1.0 (13-Jan-2020)
    - Initial release.

Requirements:

Nice! but the plugin failed to compile first of all, but after I compiled it with .sp file and tried it and... well... got this error...

nice job, but I have a doubt, with this gamedata could the opposite be done ?, prevent tank from attacking incapped players.

if I'm not mistaken I think you should change line 250 for this:

Spoiler

if( IsClientInGame(i) && IsPlayerAlive(i) && GetClientTeam(i) == 2 && GetEntProp(i, Prop_Send, "m_isHangingFromLedge", 1) == 0 )

For L4D2? The tank already does not target incapped unless they are blocking it's path. Could prevent any type of infected targeting incapped, but this will make the code more complicated and shit. Really not something I want to do.

[Astrostar]

That's better... it works now thank you Silvers! ^^
I do have dhooks... But it says the same compile error.... ah well nice plugin anyway thanks for fixing it

[hoanganh81097]

[Silvers]

no

ok i understand, the idea of this is to prevent the tank from attacking the incapped player when other player tries to revive. I tried to do that using CommandABot(vscript), but although it changes its target the tank always seems to be forced to attack the player incapped :/

    - Added cvar "l4d2_target_patch_targets" to control which Special Infected cannot target incapped survivors.
    - If used, this will change those specific Special Infected to target the nearest non-incapped survivor.

l4d2_target_patch_targets "0" // 0=Off. Block these Special Infected from targeting incapped players: 1=Smoker, 2=Boomer, 4=Hunter, 8=Spitter, 16=Jockey, 32=Charger, 64=Tank, 127=All. Add numbers together.
l4d2_target_patch_wait "1.5" // Delay in seconds between switching targets unless the current target is invalid.

Good work!
