General

This plugin requires Sourcemod 1.5 or higher


Description

I'm working on new ideas for my Vicious Infected plugin. Rather than edit the entire plugin I've started to make smaller projects to assess just that particular set of abilities. I figured I'd release the small portions as I come up with them. Maybe even incorporate just the abilities for that particular class to ease the overall plugin.

Sinister Jockey is designed to give small boosts to the tiny tyrant that is the Jockey. With four abilities currently, the Jockey can remain a nearly invisible killer and while riding a Survivor reduce the damage it takes and use the Survivor has a shield, taking some of the hit instead, deal extra damage when dropping onto a Survivor from a height, or freeze a Survivor from a distance.

Gravity Lunge has been added to the Jockey's abilities.

Gravity pounce seem like jockey jump plugin? Will test your plugins soon.

Show me videos(youtube or...) I do not speak English. Thank you.

Made another update to the plugin. Modified the Human Shield to utilize SDK Hooks so the damage adjustment is more accurate and allows for melee weapons.

Also added a new ability, Marionette. Allows the Jockey to hold down the USE button to freeze a survivor. If the Jockey presses any other key though the action is stopped.

[chatyak]

Will be trying out your plugins on my server - thanks for the effort.

Added two new abilities to the Jockey. Now the Jockey can move faster at spawn, while riding a Survivor, and I added the ability to jump while riding from my Charger Jump plugin.

I use the default settings(cfg).
Jockey ride up the survivors.
Faster movement speed of the survivors.
Is this a bug?
check pls.

[cr33py]

same as above. When I use the plugin the jockey rarely gets the riding speed bonus, but the survivors become faster afterwards.
The falling damage is really funny. Watch out for falling jockeys! =p
