I'm not sure what cluster are you talking about, but thank you for the update nonetheless. I will load it up on the server and see if things are alright. Will be grateful if you fix the teleporting. It doesn't always occur but when it does...

While I still remember, there's another bug on this witch:

She may stop burning (if set on fire) upon going berserk/killing a survivor. Not a cool thing too. Another minor issue would be her walking speed when she goes into "follow survivor" mode, she kind of speeds up unnaturally and it looks silly, is it possible to add that follow speed option to the cfg?

Also, while I'm at it, may I'd like to ask a couple of questions:

1. I haven't found any proper plugins that ban idle exploiting (setting witch/tank on fire and going idle, making them lose their targets as an example, along with avoiding damage from SI/CI). This witch also suffers from it, if you throw a molotov at her and go idle (when she's not hit by it yet) she will just stand still and burn, could it be possible to fix it (as a separate plugin perhaps), or at least make her attack any survivor she sees first upon being set on fire, or is it too complicated/messy?

2. Is it possible to make her break doors on Realism Expert? Perhaps like a TankDoorFix plugin?

Thanks in advance.

UPD (01/09/2018 ): The witch seems to be fine, the plugin works. But she killed Louis bot and dissapeared into thin air (the same teleport issue). It has to do something with her switching targets. The logs showed that I startled her after Louis, but she didn't see me.

UPD (01/10/2018 ): Can confirm she extinguishes herself too if she's on fire, kills somebody and reaggroes.

UPD (01/26/2018 ): Somewhat-a-fix: Use the Relentless Witch mod. Gets the job done (she kills everyone), doesn't extinguish herself when on fire, her hp doesn't reset, she doesn't teleport.

This plugin crashes the 1st map of The Passing due to the custom witch model. The solution (albeit not so elegant) is to just always precache the normal witch model so that the call to SetEntPropFloat(….ReplaceWitchScale) won't throw an exception.

public OnMapStart()
{
    if(L4D2Version)
        {
                g_sprite = PrecacheModel("materials/sprites/laserbeam.vmt");

                // precache the normal witch model (which is normally cached by the map)
                // But the first map of The Passing loads a custom witch model, and this
                // plugin then crashes when it tries to scale the normal witch model.
                PrecacheModel("models/infected/witch.mdl");
        }
        else
        {
                g_sprite = PrecacheModel("materials/sprites/laser.vmt");
        }
        HookWitchCount=0;
}
