Very good plugin, I really like leaker boomer.
However I feel a little confusing, hard to tell this is boomer or leaker immediately.

Maybe you can add the Flashlight or the hat attached to leaker boomer body,
even simpler, make leaker boomer move faster or change the opacity of the leaker boomer to become closer to invisible.


I suggest spit "leaker_chance" convar into two for people who don't like to play leaker boomer.

PHP Code:

//Real player leaker boomer chane
"leaker_chance_real"

//AI player leaker boomer chane
"leaker_chance_AI" 


and better reset convar OnPluginEnd()

PHP Code:

public void OnPluginEnd() //trigger when plugin unloads
{
    ResetConVar(FindConVar("boomer_leaker_chance"));
}

yea, for model point, i have better solution normalize they model, for chance spawn, i wasnt idea to control.. just control by game convar, now can config speed

I decided to overview a code a little bit.

1. Leaker_boomette - missing ConVar hook.
2. IsClientConnected is already include IsClientInGame, so the first one is redundant. Also, the last already guarantee that the client is valid, no IsValidEntity is required.
3.

int health = GetClientHealth(victim) - RoundToFloor(damage); if (health > 0) SetEntityHealth(victim, health);

What is sense? Is that means double health decreasing (since the health already been decreased by that "damage" amount after hook finishes) ? In such case more "academic" would be damage *= 2.0 and return Plugin_Changed.

4. Also, executing AutoExecConfig after ConVar hook is set - is less effective, because in such case AutoExecConfig raise the hook and the hook callback potentially will be always called at least once if config contains modified value.

5. It is no reason to call a callback on OnConfigsExecuted, because you already hooked all ConVars. Putting ApplyCvars() inside end of OnPluginStart() is more efficient.

You misinterpreted what Dragokas meant. IsClientInGame() includes IsClientConnected(), so you need to remove IsClientConnected() and keep IsClientInGame() instead.
