Hello everyone, I was looking for plugins or cvars that increase the finale rescue time and disable the "approach survivors" function for all players, this hinders the infected from having more chances of winning in the final levels

What is "approach survivors" function

I don't think that they will understand ur goal , i "Personally" got fucked up trying to analyzing ..

In Versus when you're Special Infected and you're too far from Survivors, the text comes up saying "too far from survivors" with the line below saying "|E| Move closer to the survivors" so that when you press "E" you teleport closer to them. I think there is a cvar for this, or a plugin to control. I remember something about that a long time ago.

Yes.There was a plugin that controlled this cvar and the flow of vehicle leaks (longer flows - 20 min round), but I can't find it on the internet anymore and I don't even know which cvar it is.

I don't also think he meant that . He needs to reduce the chance of winning a final by the zombie team in versus mod . his plan was :

* delaying the rescue vehicle time (the time it takes from when someone uses a radio until the rescue vehicle arrives) . and that blows my mind because this will f the survivors while they are trying to survive against zombie waves !

* Prevent auto-teleporting a zombie players when They press E button , and that also doesn't make sense, because the value of the danger is still constant as the zombie is still around , and who knows what the hell he is planing for the next attack ?!

BTW , I suggest increasing survivors health by a single function will do the job .

I think I can make it for l4d1 with a simple trick , but Disable Escape Sequence/Scenario is no longer available for l4d2 , that what i have recently read in Valve shit site , I don't know if that's correct:

about the vehicle delay , I have downloaded a shitty version of that game in order to check , it seems that it works fine with me and the finale was successfully extended , but i still don't know what is the exact name of sacrifice maps to exclude from performing vehicle-delay (it seems that sacrifice has a custom finales according to valve site) , If that what u need , then give it a try :

PHP Code:

#include <sdktools>
#include <sdkhooks>

#define Timer_F_VehicleDelay    180
#define Timer_FCTanks_Interval    60
#define Timer_Special_Interval    10

char Infected[8][8]={"smoker","hunter","boomer","mob","charger","jockey","spitter","tank"};
Handle H_GENERAL_TIMER;
int Count;

public OnEntityCreated(entity, const String:classname[])
{
    if (StrEqual(classname, "trigger_finale"))
    {
        HookSingleEntityOutput(entity, "FinaleStart", OnFinaleStarted);
        HookSingleEntityOutput(entity, "FinaleEscapeStarted", OnFinaleEscapeStarted);
        HookSingleEntityOutput(entity, "FinaleLost", OnFinaleIsDone);
        HookSingleEntityOutput(entity, "FinaleWon", OnFinaleIsDone);
    }
}

public OnFinaleStarted(const String:output[], caller, activator, Float:delay)
{
    Count = 0 ;
    H_GENERAL_TIMER = null ;
}

public OnFinaleIsDone(const String:output[], caller, activator, Float:delay)
{
    delete H_GENERAL_TIMER;
}

public Action OnFinaleEscapeStarted(const String:output[], caller, activator, Float:delay)
{
    if (!Count)
    {
        H_GENERAL_TIMER = CreateTimer(1.0 , Timer_General , caller , TIMER_REPEAT|TIMER_FLAG_NO_MAPCHANGE );
        return Plugin_Handled;
    }
    return Plugin_Continue;
}

public Action Timer_General(Handle Timer , any caller)
{
    Count++;
    
    if (Count % Timer_Special_Interval == 0)    Spawn_Infected(Infected[GetRandomInt(0,6)]);
    if (Count % Timer_FCTanks_Interval == 0)    Spawn_Infected("tank");
    
    /*
    if (Count < Timer_F_VehicleDelay)
    {
        PrintHintTextToAll("Escape Will Arrive In %d seconds" , Timer_F_VehicleDelay - Count);
    }
    */
    
    if (Count == Timer_F_VehicleDelay)
    {
        //PrintHintTextToAll("Vehicle Is Ready");
        FireEntityOutput(caller,"FinaleEscapeStarted",caller,0.0);
    }
    return Plugin_Continue;
}

stock Spawn_Infected(const char[]Command)
{
    int bot = CreateFakeClient("l4F 2 Style");
    int flags = GetCommandFlags("z_spawn");
    SetCommandFlags("z_spawn", flags & ~FCVAR_CHEAT);
    FakeClientCommand(bot, "z_spawn %s" , Command);
    SetCommandFlags("z_spawn", flags);
    CreateTimer(0.1, Kick_Bot , bot);
}

public Kick_Bot (Handle timer, any bot)
{
    KickClient(bot);
} 


But Keep In mind that : this will hinder the non-infected team from having any chance of winning .

Hint For L4d2 Plugins makers/developers :
- you should look at this , u could make interesting custom-finales with ur experience :
https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Trigger_finale

- The Game Looks Amazing But The Players Body is empty and looks like ghosts , The physics laws stop working with player bodies , When u run towards somebody u go deep inside him rather than clashing into (The player body is not solid like other materials walls,floor,...) , thus there is no momentum for players when they collide, also bullets should have some effects when hit somebody , especially tanks with a close-range auto-shot gun bullets ... (The Vector Of The Velocity of A moving Object Should Affect The Target's direction When they collide , especially those targets that the bullet/mass doesn't go throw them) .
Forget about The Animation , The Only Available Animation Is what u call it (stumbling) , by the lack of knowledge/options : stopping the moving mass for a while is enough , Or Lets wait For : "L4D2 Episode 2"
