Nerfs the not-as-hilariously-overpowered-anymore Short Circuit by increasing metal cost and increasing delay between blasts.

Cvars:

• short_circuit_nerf_version - plugin version
• short_circuit_nerf_auto_update - enables automatic updating (has no effect if Updater is not installed)
• short_circuit_nerf_delay_seconds - seconds between blasts of the Short Circuit, the game default appears to be around 0.15 (default 0.8)
• short_circuit_nerf_metal_cost - metal cost per blast, the game default is 5 (default 20)

Installation:
Put short_circuit_nerf.smx into /addons/sourcemod/plugins and reboot your server or type "sm plugins load short_circuit_nerf" into your console or rcon.

On topic: Well that didn't take long. Hopefully Valve will ship out an official patch to nerf it soon. Because this is just ridiculous.

Not really. You have like 4+ engineers attacking one person.
Try the same thing with 4 scouts using force a nature, or 4 heavies... They'll do heaps more damage.
This is just dumb.

Ohh yeah, funny as hell. Its a game and if you leave it as is then ohh well funny!
The video was really well made and nicely staged, funny even more.

Hello, works fine for me thanks, but i got the same error.

Is there a way to block the effect when you cant shoot?

Thanks!

Sounds like they accidentally set it too fast, because it doesnt sound good, like it spams the shooting sound.

Does it use 2x metal if you miss? If not, I'd like that added.

There's no real way to detect when you miss. I had to do something hacky to even detect when you fire.

[Chdata]

You could use CalcAttackIsCritical to detect when you fire, and ontakedamage for the hit.

Actually I forgot about projectiles so nvm.
