Forced Spawn Be-gone

About:

We all know it. Finale on Dead Air is a joke. Survivors camping the fence, smokers spawning in open view and boomers behind the air plane to be shot 2 seconds later.
There is no logical reason (if you ask me) why the infected HAVE to spawn.

Hence Forced Spawn Be-gone were born.
Enjoy boomer spawns that doesn't include "fuck I spawned in fire" or "wth I spawned miles away".

A BIG thank you and shout out to mi123645 for helping develop and test this plugin.

Description:

Disable forced spawn, for the infected, on finales

Known Problems / Things to Notice:

• Upon tank spawn, while the director is still assign the tank to a player the plugin will stop ghost players. Will start ghost people once again the tank player have been put in the tank role.

• Pressing E (use), while in ghost mode, will not bring you to a survivor but instead a place where the director believes you should spawn.

To do:

Increase minimum spawn distance while finale is active.

Cvars:

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

Very interesting, setting it to co-op doesn't add any bugs with scoring etc.?

I'll try to find some bugs regardless

In the meantime you should add FCVAR_DONTRECORD to your version cvar so it doesn't get put in the config (otherwise when you update, people who isntalled the old versions will keep the old version number cvar)

[Mr. Zero]

Added FCVAR_DONTRECORD to the version cvar, thanks.

About scoring, I played a few rounds (with bots of course) and from what I could see it didn't mess anything up.
Also to be sure that coop isnt set right before the finale is over, it resets everything once the rescue vehicle leaves.

I'm getting errors when I changelevel during a finale

L 10/15/2009 - 15:43:24: [SM] Native "GetEntProp" reported: Entity 1 is invalid
L 10/15/2009 - 15:43:24: [SM] Displaying call stack trace for plugin "ForcedSpawnBegone v0.90.smx":

Also, after a tank dying it got stuck in co-op mode without changing back to versus admittedly I was alt-tabbed at the time so i can't give you anything more detailed, I'll try to reproduce it.

[Mr. Zero]

Might wanna download it again Frus. I updated the script after your post (forgot a +use).

I might have to add valid client to AddToQueueTimer function.

[ChillyWI]

I'm really excited about this plugin. Will install and test tonight, but I think it's going to be a huge hit, especially once the minimum distance is increased. Nicely done.

[Frus]

You will have to use SM1.3 to force clients to use their use key, you can't force them to with clientcommand or fakeclientcommand.

#5 has info on how to change the IN_* keys, you could add IN_USE to them.

I'm not 100% sure on anything in my post, but I know that you don't go into ghost mode until you use +use yourself with your current version, even with fakeclientcommand.

[DDR Khat]

From a look through the code I can't imagine there being too much trouble with this. Infact I feel daft that such a simple solution eluded me

[AtomicStryker]

Niiiice, i thought you had given up on this
