About

I made this plugin to add a fire effect to the Tank throwing rock when he is on fire or when the rock is hit by fire damage.

Similar to [L4D & L4D2] Tank's Burning Rock plugin by panxiaohai, but has other features.

Description

This plugin will ignite and give extra damage to the rock thrown by the Tank when the rock is on fire.

Features

• Allow igniting the rock always / only when the tank is on fire / when the rock is hit by fire damage.
• Allow setting which types of rock (rock, trunk, etc) are allowed to ignite.
• Allow setting a damage bonus when hit by an igniting tank rock.
• Allow configuring how long the burning effect should last in the rock and in the client victim.

Notes

• A ignited rock does not give damage over time to a survivor when hit (as is, game design), but does to infected.
• A ignited rock does not explode gascans/propane tanks/oxygen tanks.

To Do

• Create damage over time on the survivor hit by an ignited rock.
• Add a fire particle to the survivor hit by an ignited rock.
• Make gascans/propane tanks/oxygen tanks explode on hit.
• Ignite other world entities on hit by an ignited rock.

Thank you!

I would suggest looking at the code used in https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?p=2097674
to have an idea on how to light survivors on fire with a damage over time effect. It was done here with particles to display survivors on fire.

[TiTz]

To Do Create a damage over time on the survivor hitted by an ignited rock. Add a fire particule to the survivor hitted by an ignited rock. Make gascans/propane tanks/oxygen tanks explode on hit. Ignite other world entities on hit by an ignited rock.

This is a great plugin - Had it on the server for a while now!

Looking at the To Do list ... these would be good additions.

I have a question that is unrelated to your plugin. In your example video, how did you get the tank to stand still and only throw rocks instead of coming after you?

[Marttt]

No problem, these are the cvars that I usually use to test (and record the video).

• z_tank_speed 1
• tank_throw_min_interval 1
• bot_mimic 1

sm_cvar tank_throw_min_interval 0 sm_cvar tank_throw_allow_range 1

[NoroHime]

you can add explode like create gascan and explode now

[Marttt]

Already have a plugin that does that and is mentioned in the main post twice:
[L4D & L4D2] Tank's Burning Rock by panxiaohai

[ZBzibing]

I had a revision of a version long ago.
The stones thrown by the tank can explode.
If the burning tank is thrown out, it will fall on the stone, creating a sea of fire area

[yzybb]

Sometimes, we ignite the tank and then turn back. The tank disappears from our view for a period of time, and soon it catches up with us again. However, at this point, there is no animation of fire on the tank's body, but there is still fire damage, and the stones thrown are still carrying fire. Perhaps it's a bug in this plugin?
