little_froy · **Author**

Description

after a period of time, you can self escape once from special infected's skill. kill horde or special infected can reduce the cooldown(optional). press shift buttons to query the current cooldown.
occupy center text to print info when survivor is alive or afk.
current support translation: chi(Simplified Chinese). I won't add more translations, you could make your own or ask another one.

Hey man! I loved your plugin. Now I noticed a problem since you updated it, it is that I have another plugin https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?p=2784222 which is about when the Jockey grabs you, it leaves the screen dark. Well, having your plugin, the moment you escape the Jockey's attack, the dark screen of the other plugin's effect gets stuck and it only goes away if you are grabbed by the Jockey, vomited or incapacitated.

I was wondering if you might have a solution to fix this problem. Thank you.

seem like it's because send two usermsg at the same frame. I provide a modded version to delay one frame, no problem now. if you want to get official support, ask the original author.

Thank you very much, it works perfectly!
