Ghost Tank Lite

About:

By now you have probably already heard or tried my Ghost Tank plugin for L4D. Simple stuff that I believed the tank need as the AI is really shitty.

But as time went on I began to play more and more with friends, and stopped pubbing all together. This is when I realized my Ghost Tank was a bit... well bloated with stuff I didn't need for my friends matches.

So Ghost Tank Lite was born as a offspring of my Ghost Tank plugin. It’s pretty simple. The tank is frozen and ghosted until player takes control.
Rock throw is disabled for the AI, incapacitated fix by DrThunder included, and of course features fire immunity for a short while.

Neither fire speed nor multi tank support. This is intended for L4D2, should work on L4D, but I claim the right to NOT provide support, encase it doesn't.

Description:

Upon tank spawn, the tank will be frozen and ghosted until a player takes over.

Cvars:

A configuration file will be automatically created for you upon first run, in /cfg/sourcemod/ called GhostTankLite.cfg

// Sets whether the plugin is active or not.
// -
// Default: "1"
l4d2_gtl_enable "1"

// The amount of time the tank is fire immune (secs), after player takes control. 0 for disable fire immunity.
// -
// Default: "3.0"
l4d2_gtl_fireimmune "3.0"

// Normally tanks would incap survivors on the spot. This fixes it and makes the Survivors still take a punch and fall back with force, before incapping them. All credits for this fix, goes to DrThunder on AlliedModders.
// -
// Default: "1"
l4d2_gtl_fixpunch "1"

// Sets whether the plugin will make the selection cvar use the old time for selecting the tank (4 sec in L4D2, 3 sec in L4D).
// -
// Default: "1"
l4d2_gtl_oldselecttime "1"
