Not sure if this is expected behavior or not: I'm trying this plugin now on borneo and when I killed the tank it spawned some sort of bomb that just floats and does nothing?



I've not messed with any CVARS or anything up to this point. Just installed all that's required and started the server.

For bots to work you have two choices:

• Set the cvar tank_nav_mesh to 0.
• or search in gamedata/tank.txt for "Patch_DisableNavMesh", rename it to "Patch_DisableNavMesh_DISABLED"

But you are at risk of crashing due to multiple bugs in Valve's code. The culprit we think is CTFTankBoss and not directly related to this mod.

King Cnut, that is expected behavior if there is no one on the BLU team to become the giant. The bomb will sit there until time runs out. If someone spawns on BLU, they will become a giant and spawn on the bomb. If around 25 seconds passes and there's no giant available, anyone on BLU can pick up the bomb. Robots have to pick up the bomb, capture the checkpoints, and deploy before time runs out.

Thanks pheadxdll I wasn't sure and found it odd but your explanation makes perfect sense.

Thread request: Add the [TF2] tag behind the title:

[TF2] Stop That Tank!

Also can we get someone to move this to the approved section seeing how it has been in existence for a looooong time? lol

After many test with STT, I saw in payload, if we use sm_makegiant as red, and we aren't in a good place for a giant we are teleported at the origin of the map, that isn't better :\.

So I thinked why not spawn the giant on a red control point?

[pheadxdll]

Potato: Sure why not.

In payload, there isn't supposed to be any RED giants, hence the unexpected behavior. I will add some code in the next version to fallback on the goal path node of the BLU team. On most maps, that should spawn the giant in a decent location.

Some servers did "Giants rounds", each team was full of giant, for play a payload round, and the server played on pl_upward (that is the worst map for that command), and so half of the red team was teleported at origin and die.

So that why maybe I suggest to teleport them to a control point owned by red, or even teleport then on the caller of the command if he is in a right place for spawn giant.

[Benoist3012]

Ah yes I suggest you to add that when a buster spawn:

PHP Code:

                    SetVariantString("randomnum:100");
                    AcceptEntityInput(i, "AddContext");
        
                    SetVariantString("IsMvMDefender:1");
                    AcceptEntityInput(i, "AddContext");
                    SetVariantString("TLK_MVM_SENTRY_BUSTER");
                    AcceptEntityInput(i, "SpeakResponseConcept");
                    AcceptEntityInput(i, "ClearContext"); 


I used it in MvT I think it can be funny to use in Stop That Tank too?

More information on how SpeakResponseContext works can be found here. You can find the concepts and such in my tf2-data repository.
