[L4D & L4D2] Barricades - Doors and Windows (1.21) [07-Dec-2022]

**Silvers** · **Author**

About:

Create up to 4 barricades where doors, windows and breakable walls have been broken.
Supports double doors and large windows with a larger plank.
Barricades can be built on fallen saferoom doors (requires the "Saferoom Door Spam Protection" plugin with auto fall enabled).
Cvars to customize build time and delays.
Cvars to customize plank health and shove damage.
Data config and commands to add barricade positions to existing frames with no doors or windows.
Data config provided adding barricades to many open doorways and breakable walls on all L4D2 official Valve maps.

Issues:

No cost system for building. Please do not request. If someone wants to write a system it can be added in.
Double doors which are not linked together and act individually build single size barricades. L4D2 c1m1 map has this for example. This plugin now contains a fix to pair the doors so they open and close together, allowing the plugin to use the larger plank. Please report maps and locations where double doors are individually controlled.
Some doors or windows may cause planks to spawn in the wrong direction. This might not be fixable on some maps. Please report which map and location if you see this happening.
Server console spam: "prop_wall_breakable has Door model (models/props_debris/wood_board04a.mdl) with no door_options! Verify that SKIN is valid, and has a corresponding options block in the model QC file" - to block these messages use Cleaner - Console warning supressor or Console Spam Patches plugin.
L4D2: Survivor bots try to use/open the planks like they are doors (the classname for planks is changed to doors after spawn so the infected would attack them).
L4D1: Infected do not attack the planks.

Adding Barricade Locations:

You can save custom positions to build barricades. These are saved to "l4d_barricade.cfg" in the servers \addons\sourcemod\data\ folder.

There are two methods for adding an area to build barricades:

1. On breakable props such as walls that zombies can destroy or certain windows.
Find a breakable wall, these can be found in Versus mode with the yellow Infected texture flashing on walls.

Aim at the prop and use the command "sm_barricade_add -1" for small gaps/planks or "sm_barricade_add -2" for larger gaps/planks.

These can be added to other breakable props such as windows which the plugin does not automatically account for.

To delete from the config, you must be aiming at the prop it was added from.

2. Between empty door frames, empty window frames or open garage doors.
Find an empty door frame, window or garage.

For small gaps e.g. single doors and small windows, stand in the center and face one of the frame sides, then use the command "sm_barricade_add 1".

For large gaps e.g. double doors, stand against one side of the frame, aim at the other side and use "sm_noclip" to slightly move back into the frame, then use the command "sm_barricade_add 1".

It might take some attempts to get the planks to visibly touch both sides, so recommend always testing by creating the planks. You can use the command "sm_barricade_del" to delete and try again.

To delete from the config, you must be near to where you saved the position.

Thanks:

Maur0 - For the request.
Toranks - Lots of help testing.
gongo - Lots of help testing.
NoroHime - Chinese translations.

Cool! Now it is being completed better.

I have two things to clarify:

1) When I put the value for the Common l4d_barricade_damage_common "60" having 500HP the planks. And when a Common tries to damage a plank, it breaks instantly instead of taking 60 damage as I put it in the command.

2) What kind of windows can I put the boards on? Because it went to the final Death Toll map and I looked at the boathouse windows, and nothing happened. So I wanted to know what kind of windows allows to add the planks.

The rest is impeccable. Thank you very much for all your work!

Next version will fix some window positions I noticed were wrong. Only windows and doors that can be broken, then the planks can be placed. Empty door frames and window frames cannot be built on because there was no entity to find the relative position. Will look into damage issue.

Thank you very much. I really appreciate your effort.

I think this is necessary for the commons to attack the plancks. It has no consequences. If it's annoying, you can add those lines to Cleaner, so you won't see those on the console.

Hi there,

I tried 1.1 in l4d1 and I only see the progress bar.
Building barricade...
When I hold use key it goes 100% and then restarts goes up to 100% and so on.

No barricade appears and no error in log.

Used stock settings in cfg

I can't finish it, but Point System API is definitely the best cost system for it.

Which map, which door/window?

Try with this new version.

Code:

1.2 (03-June-2022)
    - Fixed some plank placements being wrong with certain doors and windows.

    - Plugin will now auto link some known individual double doors (currently only L4D2: "c1m1_hotel").
    - This will make the doors open together instead of individually, this is an easier than larger plugin modification to create a workaround.
    - If double doors open individually (which then creates small plank barricades), please report to me the map and location to fix.
    - If admins don't want the doors linked, please request a cvar to block those known doors from being used for barricades.

Never seen the barricade anywhere actually.
Just the progress going 100% then start again to 100% and so on.

But its l4d1. No change with 1.3
