Hello all,

I'm looking for a simple plugin for l4d1 & 2 that can control the heal and revive times of players on a combined "normal" and "hardcore" server. Of course I can tweak the heal and revive times for myself in the console - but only coz I'm the admin/owner of the server. However the other members/players can't do this for themselves when I'm not playing on the server.

The problem is that my server difficulty can go from a "normal" mode to "insane" mode, so the default heal and revive times are ok when played in "normal" mode, but those default heal/revive times become just too slow for the teams when playing the server on "insane" mode - so the teams almost invariable end up being either incapped or dead most of the time due to the insane influx of Special Infected. >

I would like for the players to be able to adjust the timers on heal and revive for themselves, using an "!command" such as "!healtime1" or "!revivetime3" etc - or even have the !commands locked together as "!heal_revive2" etc, done in increments of 1 - from 1 up to 5 max. The Cvars I use for the entry-level times on my "normal" server are written to my sourcemod.cfg file as this:

"sm_cvar first_aid_kit_use_duration 3"
"sm_cvar survivor_revive_duration 3"

But the timer setting in the sourcemod.cfg file becomes no good for the 'insane' mode, and has to be overridden by me when I'm playing ingame. The fastest duration I use then become these values:

"sm_cvar first_aid_kit_use_duration 1"
"sm_cvar survivor_revive_duration 1"

Any help in any way from some creative coder here would be greatly appreciated by me.

Can any of you guys help?


edit: updated paragraph 1 to include l4d 2 server

I managed to code (more like hack) my own plugin for the above. I've done this out of desperation really, as no-one here at the forums has helped to date.

I have to give some credit to Silvers/Silvershot for PMing me a plugin that had some useful code in it that helped me figure out how to go about doing this. So that snippet of code alone is appreciated.

I'm not a coder, more of a hacker, but if any other coder wishes to improve/clean this up for me, then be my guest. At least it works for me. And because it works for me, I'm gonna share the code here for anyone else that wishes to use this plugin.

It works for both l4d1 & 2.

The chat command to open the menu is "!hrd" - select menu item 1 to 5 to set speed from 1 to 5 seconds. Also the default values can be overridden in a config file.

Code here:

PHP Code:


#include <sourcemod>

    GetCvars();

    SetConVarInt(FindConVar("first_aid_kit_use_duration"), g_iSpeed);
    SetConVarInt(FindConVar("survivor_revive_duration"), g_iSpeed2);
}

{

    menu.ExitButton = false;
    menu.Display(client, 10);
    return Plugin_Handled;
}

public int MenuHandler(Menu menu, MenuAction action, int param1, int param2)
{
    if (action == MenuAction_Select)
    {
        char info[40];
        bool found = menu.GetItem(param2, info, sizeof(info));
        PrintToConsole(param1, "You selected item: %d (found? %d info: %s)", param2, found, info);
        ServerCommand("sm_cvar first_aid_kit_use_duration %s", info);
        ServerCommand("sm_cvar survivor_revive_duration %s", info);
        PrintHintTextToAll("Heal and revive duration has been changed to %s second/s", info);
    }

        PrintToServer("Client %d's menu was cancelled.  Reason: %d", param1, param2);
    }
    else if (action == MenuAction_End)
    {
        delete menu;
    }
} 


Edit: Also attached plugin file
