Description

This plugin will make common zombies chase any survivor that shoot by creating an info_goal_infected_chase entity attached to then. (similar to vomit/vomit jar behaviour)

I always felt that it was a bit unrealistic that sometimes you fire next to a common zombie and it doesn't detect you.

Features

• Allows configuring a % chance to trigger.
• Allows configuring if bots should trigger it or not.
• Allows configuring which weapons should trigger it or not.
• Allows configuring the duration that new common zombies should chase after a shot.
• Allows configuring to chase every valid survivor when someone shoots.
• Allows configuring to chase on vocalize.

Cvars

A configuration file named "l4d_shot_warns_common.cfg" will automatically be created for you upon the first run in the "\cfg\sourcemod\" folder.

Notes

• This plugin creates and attaches an info_goal_infected_chase to every survivor that fires.
• Some uncommon zombies can't be warned. (e.g: Road Worker / Jimmy Gibs / Fallen Survivor)
• Common zombies may ignore non-shooting players while another player shoots.
• When there are too many common zombies on the map you can hear a sound triggering, this is a game default behaviour.

To Do

• Add cvar to block behavior while have vomited players.

Thank you!

• MasterMind420 - for several code snippets to improve this plugin.
• Mi.Cura - for testing in his server and requesting a tank alive cvar.
• Krufftys Killers - for reporting an error.
• MedicDTI - for requesting a cvar for the Silenced SMG weapon.
• Sony Arizona - for requesting separated cvars for each weapon.

I loved this plugin man, it gives an air of more challenge.
Taking advantage of this comment, I would like to make a suggestion that can be activated with a cvar in which silenced smg can attract less or have less chance of attracting those infected

Does the vomit and the bile will override it ?

[Marttt]

I won't say they override but they work fine together, at least from my test.

Love this plugin can you make for all weapon not for SMG Silenced only, because some weapon mods have custom silencer...

Bro, do you have the plugin in a previous version? It happens that the day before yesterday I updated your plugin, but now the infected get stuck, I fire and are alerted, but they stay stuck in one place, I say the first version you made was perfect, He did not need anything, I do not know why the change.

Marttt I just just downloaded the new version thinking that you had fixed this problem, and now I see that the common infected are stuck in the same place looking the other way without attacking me or my colleagues every time we alert them :/

I don't know if you fixed it right or this plugin would have broken. But I hope you can improve it like you always do.
