Hi,

L4D1 game is incorrectly set black/white state according to "survivor_max_incapacitated_count" ConVar.
When you set that ConVar e.g. to "4"

sm_cvar "survivor_max_incapacitated_count" 4

public OnPluginStart()
{
	RegConsoleCmd("sm_test", CmdMessage); //,		ADMFLAG_ROOT);
}

public Action CmdMessage(int client, int args)
{
	int iRevCount = GetEntProp(client, Prop_Send, "m_currentReviveCount");
	int iGoingToDie = GetEntProp(client, Prop_Send, "m_isGoingToDie");
	
	PrintToChat(client, "iRevCount: %i, iGoingToDie: %i", iRevCount, iGoingToDie);
	
	//SetEntProp(client, Prop_Send, "m_isGoingToDie", 0);
	//SetEntProp(client, Prop_Send, "m_currentReviveCount", 3);
	
	return Plugin_Handled;
}

on start: (iRevCount: 0, iGoingToDie: 0)
after 1 incap/revive: (iRevCount: 1, iGoingToDie: 1)
after 2 incap/revive: you become black/white (iRevCount: 2, iGoingToDie: 1)
after 3 incap/revive: you become NOT black/white (iRevCount: 3, iGoingToDie: 1)
after 4 incap/revive: you stay NOT black/white (iRevCount: 4, iGoingToDie: 1)
5 incap = death.

How to fix that?

Also, "m_isGoingToDie" looks like useless. What is it for?
When I change it, nothing happen.

When I change "m_isGoingToDie" to 2 player become black/white.
When I change "m_isGoingToDie" to anything, but 2, player become NOT black/white.

Is there a way to make player not black/white other then changing "m_isGoingToDie" property?

Thanks.

Not actual. Fixed by this plugin from SilverShot: https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=322132

Not sure if l4d1 has that property but you could maybe look for m_bIsOnThirdStrike or something similar like that and try to check / reset that one.

[Dragokas]

thank you.
In L4D1 no entities has m_bIsOnThirdStrike property.

When become black/white:

baseclass->m_clrRender (268 ) changed from -1 to -16776961 baseclass->m_iAddonBits (6144) changed from 23 to 39 CTerrorPlayer->m_currentReviveCount (7104) changed from 1 to 2

After medkit:

baseclass->m_clrRender (268 ) changed from -16776961 to -1 baseclass->m_iAddonBits (6144) changed from 23 to 39 CTerrorPlayer->m_currentReviveCount (7104) changed from 2 to 0

Changing these props doesn't help:

	/*
	SetEntProp(client, Prop_Send, "m_clrRender", -16776961);
	SetEntProp(client, Prop_Send, "m_iAddonBits", 39);
	SetEntProp(client, Prop_Send, "m_isGoingToDie", 1);
	*/
	
	SetEntProp(client, Prop_Send, "m_clrRender", -1);
	SetEntProp(client, Prop_Send, "m_iAddonBits", 55);
	SetEntProp(client, Prop_Send, "m_isGoingToDie", 0);
	
	ChangeEdictState(client, 0);

Changes you make to survivor_max_incapacitated_count on the server aren't replicated on the clients, which will still have it at the default value of 2. Maybe that is causing the behavior you are seeing.

thank you.
Looks like you are correct.
But it also, looks like it is not the only source of the problem.

public Action CmdTest(int client, int args)
{
	ConVar cvarMaxIncap = FindConVar("survivor_max_incapacitated_count");
	
	if (cvarMaxIncap != null)
	{
		if (cvarMaxIncap.Flags & FCVAR_REPLICATED == 0)
		{
			PrintToChat(client, "cvar had no FCVAR_REPLICATED flag: %i", cvarMaxIncap.Flags);
		
			cvarMaxIncap.Flags |= FCVAR_REPLICATED;
			
			PrintToChat(client, "cvar flags is now: %i", cvarMaxIncap.Flags);
		}
		
		cvarMaxIncap.SetInt(4, true, true);
		
		//just in case
		cvarMaxIncap.ReplicateToClient(client, "4");
	}
	else {
		PrintToChat(client, "cvar is not found");
	}

	return Plugin_Handled;
}

cvar had no FCVAR_REPLICATED flag: 16388 cvar flags is now: 24580 SetConVar: Can't set server cvar survivor_max_incapacitated_count to 4, not marked as FCVAR_REPLICATED on client SetConVar: Can't set server cvar survivor_max_incapacitated_count to 4, not marked as FCVAR_REPLICATED on client

Manual settings after server restart:

] sm_cvar survivor_max_incapacitated_count 4 ] survivor_max_incapacitated_count "survivor_max_incapacitated_count" = "2" game cheat - How many times you can be incapacitated instead of killed between health kits. ] sm_cvar sv_cheats 1 ] survivor_max_incapacitated_count 4 ] survivor_max_incapacitated_count "survivor_max_incapacitated_count" = "4" ( def. "2" ) game cheat - How many times you can be incapacitated instead of killed between health kits.

Result = black/white after 2-nd incap/revive (as always)

Just a thought but maybe you could work around the problem with something like the SendProxy Manager extension. It lets you modify the netprop values sent to all clients without actually changing them on the server. When a player's revive count is 1 to 3, you could report m_currentReviveCount as being 1 to clients, and when their revive count reaches 4, you could then report m_currentReviveCount as 2.
