Monster Bots

Description:

This is a plugin that combines the features of Tank Rush from Grammernazi and Infected Bots by mi123645.

What this does is spawn a set number of special infected at intervals.

You could do a Tank rush, or you could have a match against an army of hunters.

By default it is set to supplement the director by creating random regular special infected.

This is only recommended for coop servers.

Cvars:

monsterbots_maxbots - Maximum amount of monster bots. Default is 8
monsterbots_type - The Type of monsters. Default is 0
monsterbots_on - Is monster bots on? Default is 0
monsterbots_interval - How many seconds till another monster spawns. Default is 7
monsterbots_nodirector - Shutdown the director? Default is 0
monsterbots_witchrange - The range from survivors that witch should be recycled. Default is 1500

Monster Types:

The types are identical to the class of the creature.

0 = Random (Smoker,Boomer,Hunter,Spitter,Jockey,Charger)
1 = Smoker
2 = Boomer
3 = Hunter
4 = Spitter
5 = Jockey
6 = Charger
7 = Witch
8 = Tank

Changelog:

1.0 - Release
1.1 - Added witch recycle code. New cvar for recycle range.
1.1.1 - Witch only recycles when all survivors out of range.
1.1.2 - Small fixes.

I like this, been wanting something to make our COOP servers a lot harder for Survivors on Expert.

I was testing this with just all witches and ran pass them and i saw no witches for the rest of the map. So can you make the zombies that fall to far behind despawn so new ones can spawn.

Good idea. Updated.

it's easy to add L4D1 support:

                        case 9:
                        {
                            new random = GetRandomInt(1, 3);
                            switch(random)
                            {
                                case 1:
                                SpawnCommand(bot, "z_spawn", "smoker auto");
                                case 2:
                                SpawnCommand(bot, "z_spawn", "boomer auto");
                                case 3:
                                SpawnCommand(bot, "z_spawn", "hunter auto");
                            }
                        }

Plugin looks great, i will try it

We have this installed on two 10+ player COOP servers but am not sure if it's working.

monsterbots_maxbots 8 monsterbots_type 0 monsterbots_on 1 monsterbots_interval 7 monsterbots_nodirector 0 monsterbots_witchrange 1500

These are the cvars that we have set and the server is working fine, the plugin shows up in sm plugin list but I don't notice any difference.

I'm expecting every so often to see a "horde" of SI attacking from different angles like it was VS play.

Is it possible to add a new command that would force the plugin to spawn the SI horde so I can test it please?

Make sure you edit the config file, because default it is not on.

Or you could remove this line in the plugin so on mapchange it doesn't change back to monsterbots_on 0

AutoExecConfig(true, "l4d2_monsterbots_config");

Hmmm....they spawn before we even came out from the saferoom... Fix?

PHP Code:

                        if (monster == 0)
                        {
                            if (StrContains(classname, "smoker") || StrContains(classname, "boomer") || StrContains(classname, "hunter") || StrContains(classname, "spitter") || StrContains(classname, "jockey") || StrContains(classname, "charger"))
                            {
                                nummonsters++;
                            }
                        }
                        else if (monster == 1)
                        {
                            if (StrContains(classname, "smoker"))
                            {
                                nummonsters++;
                            }
                        }
                        else if (monster == 2)
                        {
                            if (StrContains(classname, "boomer"))
                            {
                                nummonsters++;
                            }
                        } 


You should replace this with switch(monster){ case 1: ...

Will do. Updated.
