For some reason in the c5m5_bridge map, the tanks that I established do not appear, I practically told the plugin to appear several with little life and in a short time, but it does not spawn any.

EDIT: I did some tests and I was able to spawn multiple tanks in c5m5_bridge

For some reason the tanks on map c10m4_mainstreet appear too fast from each to other, they don't respect the interval i set:

l4d_tank_on_spawn_interval "60.0"
l4d_tank_on_spawn_delay_max "10.0"
l4d_tank_on_spawn_delay_min "10.0"
l4d_tank_on_spawn_announcedelay "0"
l4d_tank_on_spawn_countmode "1"
l4d_tank_on_spawn_fm_chance "100"

This would like to set it to 1, but not to be at 0 expect tanks to appear:

l4d_tank_on_spawn_ignore_rush "0"

This problem when using this plugin, did not occur, however this plugin has its bugs other than this problem.
[L4D2] Tank Rush 2 v1.3.4
I think this same problem is happening to me on all maps.

l4d_tank_on_spawn_fm_chance "100"

Exactly on that map?
So, "too fast" it is how many?

That should be 1, if you don't want waves superimposed on each other when director decide to spawn new tank by himself.

1-5 seconds to spawn or even instantly very close to each other.

c5m2_park (getting out of the decontamination cart to turn off the alarm)
c7m1_docks (It gets complicated when you get to the part of the wagon)
c10m4_mainstreet in (the part where we activate the alarm and we must get to the saferoom)

There are probably more maps where I didn't realize this problem happens too.

The fact is that this happens because there is no timeout that respects the tank's spawn.

I double checked current version of the code.
There is no chance for this plugin to not respect a delay you described.
The image you presented is only show us that somebody or something spawned the tank and this plugin adjusted HP for him.
If you want to ensure, you can re-compile this plugin with

Code:

#define DEBUG 1

The only message that prove the tank is (attempt to) spawned by this plugin will be:

Quote:

tank +

in chat.

Your problem should be somewhere in other 3rd party plugin (or director itself) try to spawn tank infinitely.
Remove half of your plugins, test, remove again e.t.c. Also, check VScripts / Stripper.

As about a delay, vice versa, there is a chance that this plugin double increase a delay between spawns if server will throw a well known engine's error:

Quote:

Couldn't find a tank Spawn position in 5 tries

There was a complex walkaround I removed from this plugin in very early private builds.
But, if somebody often faces such problem, I can return it (e.g. c5m5_bridge sometimes suffer from it).

Is there a way to control the tank's life on the first maps, differentiating another value for the final waves?

Dragokas · 12-01-2020 , 22:38 Re: [L4D1 & L4D2] Tank on Spawn

At the moment, no.

rtokuda · 12-03-2020 , 18:39 Re: [L4D1 & L4D2] Tank on Spawn

The l4d cvar "tank_on_spawn_hp" does not work, the tank always has HP 20,000, even changing the value.
