[L4D] DragoTanks: Sky Tank (Archon)

Dragokas · **Author**

Description:

XCOM re-design and innovative gameplay mechanics of well-known Flying Tank by panxiaohai, based on amazing crash-fix done by AlexMy (not the one published).

What's new:

Quote:

- Visual effects:
* Archon rays
* Jetpack rays are never switch off
- Game mechanics:
* Survivor can drop fly tank on ground by shove him
* Survivor can change tank's attack angle (when on ground) by shove him, having a little chance to avoid claw attack
- Speed pre-adjustments and other little things

(model is not included)

Settings (ConVars):

Can be found in: cfg/sourcemod/l4d_fly_infected.cfg

Conflicts:

- Rays cause more GPU consumption on client side
- Note: that ConVar l4d_flyinfected_shove_turn_around works globally (for all tanks).
