I already wrote my own plugin to implement it, but I don't know if there will be any conflict with target_override. It would be better if can implement in same plugins. SI_Target_limit

To set something like "targeted" "2" to allow 2 Special Infected to attack the same person at once? or "3" for 3 etc? Can implement that when I have time.

Yes, thanks Silvers.

This looks very interesting. I want to try this one and I have several questions.

If I set it up this way

"smoker"
	{
		"order"		"13,11,12,14"
		"pinned"	"15"
		"incap"		"3"
		"voms"		"0"
		"voms2"		"1"
		"range"		"0.0"
		"dist"		"250.0"
		"wait"		"2.0"
		"last"		"0"
		"safe"		"1"
		"targeted"	"0"
	}

Does it means he will walk through other survivors trying to reach the one who's further ahead (and getting killed in the process)? Would it be possible to allow spawning near the desired target, if conditions are met?

Is there plans to support common infected targeting?

How hard would it be to support the following targets?

• Survivor furthest behind
• Survivor with flashlight on
• Survivor running (ignore walking or crawling survivors, as in, using +duck or +speed)

(last two ones only if commons are supported)

Thanks for your hard work

Yes they will walk passed others.

No this is not about spawning, they have to be alive to trigger the targeting system.

No, too different.

They could all be added. If you only want the last 2 added for CI then I'll only add the 1st for SI. - I'll just add them all, simple enough.



New update soon.

    - Added new include file for 3rd party plugins to use the forward and natives.
    - Added natives "L4D_TargetOverride_GetOption" and "L4D_TargetOverride_SetOption" for 3rd party plugins to get or set some option values. Requested by "morzlee".
    - Added native "L4D_TargetOverride_GetValue" for 3rd party plugins to get or set client values. Requested by "morzlee".
    - Added forward "L4D_OnTargetOverride" for 3rd party plugins to trigger every frame or whenever someone is being targeted. Requested by "morzlee".
    - Added cvar "l4d_target_override_forward" to enable or disabled the forward. Disabled by default to save CPU cycles.

    - Changed "targeted" option to use the set value as a maximum number of Special Infected allowed to target someone. Requested by "morzlee".
    - Fixed option "14" not working in L4D1. Thanks to "axelnieves2012" for fixing.
    - Increased string buffer and maximum orders in case all options are used in a single "order" data key value string.

Nice work

For some reason tanks don't target other tanks that are vomited before attacking survivors first.

PHP Code:

"target_patch"
{
    "tank"
    {
        "order"        "6,7,2,3,1,4,5" // Preference: Last attacker, Vomited Special Infected, then Vomited Survivors, then Incapped, then normal Survivors.
        "pinned"    "15"
        "incap"        "1"
        "voms"        "1"
        "voms2"        "1"
        "range"        "0.0"
        "dist"        "250.0"
        "wait"        "2.0"
        "last"        "0"
        "time"        "2.0"
        "safe"        "1"
        "targeted"    "0"
    }
}

Even when fixing the targeting problem they just stand there staring at each other without attacking. I guess something would have to be patched in the game to make it work. The tank will also not attack any other SI and just stands there, but when far enough away the Tank will throw rocks at them. I don't have time to look for what's preventing the Tank from attacking someone, one day maybe.

2.23 (28-Oct-2022)
    - Fixed Special Infected not being able to target other SI. Tank vs SI is still not capable. Thanks to "Tonblader" for reporting.
    - Fixed the "voms" and "voms2" options not working correctly.
    - Plugin now prevents the Tank attempting to attack vomited Special Infected, since the Tank will just stand there.

If anyone knows how/where to patch the Tank to make them attack Special Infected that would be appreciated. Currently the Tank seems to just stand there not punching the SI when that's their victim.
