Description
Based on my
[L4D1 & L4D2] Shot Warns Common plugin.
This plugin will add a new ability to special infecteds, that allow commanding common zombies to crosshair by creating an
info_goal_infected_chase. (similar to vomit/vomit jar behaviour)
This may be used mostly in versus, helping the infected team to create new strategies against survivors.
Features
- Allows configuring the duration and cooldown of the ability.
- Allows configuring which button should trigger the ability.
- Allows configuring which SI should have the ability.
- Allow configuring to display the message through chat, hint, or instructor hint (L4D2 only).
- Translation support.
- Allow configuring who should see the beacon and sprite indicators.
- Allow configuring the model/color of the beacon and sprite indicators.

Notes
- This plugin creates an info_goal_infected_chase entity at SI crosshair.
- Some uncommon zombies can't be warned. (e.g: Road Worker / Jimmy Gibs / Fallen Survivor)
- The default plugin sprite is visible through walls, this is because of an attribute on the original .vmt file ($ignorez 1).
If this bothers you, try setting the following cvar to one of these materials:
PHP Code:
l4d_spot_marker_sprite_model "vgui/hud/icon_locator_generic.vmt"
PHP Code:
//can't recolor, default color: white
l4d_spot_marker_sprite_model "vgui/resource/downarrow.vmt"
Thank you!
