Intro

Because a long time ago I needed a reliable add-on to dynamically control the health of special infecteds, now I decided to create this plugin and share it.

This complement will try to balance the health of the special infected, depending on the number of survivor players in the game. All this through the Cvars that has by default the game, in which these will be changed before your spawn and assigned with the values obtained by checking the survivor players.

Feature list:

• Set default health for players default amount
• Set limit Min Health
• Set limit Max Health
• Set HP to increment/decrement
• Set percent of default HP to increment/decrement
• Check bot players
• Check idle players
• Check alive players

Cvars

Great plugin, I'm going to test this.
It would be perfect if it could include the amount of epecials and spawning time according to the amount of players.

like this,

// The max amount of special infected at once per 2 our 4 players
// Default: "3"
// Minimum: "1.000000"
// Maximum: "28.000000"
l4d2_limit "3"

// The amount of special infected spawned at each spawn interval per 2 our 4 players
// Default: "1"
// Minimum: "1.000000"
// Maximum: "28.000000"
l4d2_spawn_size "6"

// The maximum auto spawn time (seconds) for infected
// Default: "60.0"
// Minimum: "1.000000"
l4d2_time_max "30.0"

// The minimum auto spawn time (seconds) for infected
// -
// Default: "0.0"
// Minimum: "0.000000"
l4d2_time_min "5.0"

I think you refer to the same idea xd.
I could try to do it, but it would be another plugin, i would not like to change the objective of my plugin yet.
For now I could only suggest these plugins:
[L4D2] Director Settings Loader v1.0.1
[L4D/L4D2] Infected Bots Control
[L4D2] VScript Director Options Unlocker
[L4D2] Director Variables
l4d2_maxspecials
[L4D/L4D2]Config Survivors

Hi:


What would be the configuration to increase 1000 life per player? thanks

If you want to increase 1000 life for each extra player (more than 4 player), here's a example for Tank:

PHP Code:

balancer_hp_players_base "4"
balancer_hp_factor_tank "1000" 


and if you want all players to increase 1000 hp, try this:

PHP Code:

balancer_hp_players_base "0"
balancer_hp_factor_tank "1000" 


[mac_]

I noticed the plugin didn't accounted for ADV / EXP difficulty Tank HP bonuses which was kind of annoying, so I did a simple edit:

PHP Code:

public Event_TankSpawn(Event event, const char[] name, bool dontBroadcast)
{
    if(!IsEnable)
        return;
        
    int client = event.GetInt("tankid");
    if(IsTank(client)){
        // Note that, there are other things that can modify Tank's health which this plugin will end up overwriting, like VScript's "ZombieTankHealth" (Tank Run mutation uses it)
        // There might be a better way, but I don't have a good one yet - mac
        char difficultyname[12];
        GetConVarString(cvar_difficulty, difficultyname, sizeof difficultyname);
        if(StrEqual(difficultyname, "Impossible", false) ) {
            SetPlayerHealth(client, cvar_tank_hp.IntValue * 2);
        }
        else if(StrEqual(difficultyname, "Hard", false) ) {
            SetPlayerHealth(client, cvar_tank_hp.IntValue + (cvar_tank_hp.IntValue / 2));
        }
        else {
            SetPlayerHealth(client, cvar_tank_hp.IntValue);
        }    
    //    PrintToChatAll("\x04[DEBUG] \x05Tank \x03HP \x05is set to: \x03%d", GetEntProp(client, Prop_Send, "m_iHealth") );
    }
} 


Mimics the x1.5 / x2 Tank HP bonus for Advanced and Expert respectively, hope you don't mind

I dont really understand this plugin. Im setting up all the cvars but sometimes my tank has 7590 HP, sometimes 8000, sometimes 7200 and ... i dont really get it. Can i maybe get a .cfg file which doubles the HP of all special infected? because i cant do it myself xd

balancer_hp_factor_tank "0.5" mean x5 base HP of Tank. You should set something like "10000" or "0.05" maybe... not sure about 0.05 but sure about 10000. Set to "10000" then
