This addon to the main plugin makes the pushing force dependent on the charger's speed. By default, the game sets a sprint(warmup) time of 0.5 seconds, with a starting speed of 250 and a maximum of 500. Consequently, in the first 0.5 seconds, the pushing force varies from 250/500=50% to 100%, and at the end of the sprint, when the speed drops from 500 to 0, the pushing force will range from 100% down to 0.

The plugin uses standard L4D2 cvars for this:

z_charge_warmup
z_charge_duration
z_charge_start_speed
z_charge_max_speed

Overall, this addresses the imbalance issue with pushing cars, as the charger immediately pushed far, something you just don't have time to notice. Especially if additional boxes/cars were added to the map for this purpose using a stripper beforehand.

It's made as a separate plugin because the main one has been modified/corrected in many places and everyone customizes it for themselves, i.e., just to avoid mixing things up.

If you change the cvar for the pushing force, you will need to reload this plugin afterward.
