I am having a issue with this. Actions completely chokes my server, making the server unplayable. I'm using Linux for my server, and it doesn't handle well.

This extension doesn't do anything heavy-weighted on it's own. It's either plugin or something.

Hi BHaType!

When a behavioral action is created, is it possible to change it to a different behavioral action? In one of your examples, you have this example where I took just an excerpt:

public void OnActionCreated( BehaviorAction action, int actor, const char[] name )
{
    /* Hooking self healing action (when bot wants to heal self) */
    if (  strcmp(name, "SurvivorHealSelf") == 0 )    
        action.OnStart = OnSelfAction;
    
    /* Hooking take pills action (when bot wants to take pills) */
    if ( strcmp(name, "SurvivorTakePills") == 0 )    
        action.OnStart = OnSelfAction;
}

public Action OnSelfAction( BehaviorAction action, int actor, BehaviorAction priorAction, ActionResult result )
{
    /* When bot will be about to start healing/taking pills we chech if he's black & white */
    /* if he is then we allow to heal otherwise no */
    result.type = GetEntData(action.Actor, m_bIsOnThirdStrike, 1) ? CONTINUE : DONE;
    return Plugin_Handled;
}

When the action is "SurvivorHealSelf" is it possible to change it to "SurvivorTakePills" instead, so if allowed and returned with Plugin_Changed the bot would take pills instead of healing with a first_aid_kit (assuming the bot has pain_pills of course)? I suspect the answer is No, but on the off chance the answer is Yes, please provide some information about how to configure this. Thank you!

Yeah you can create your own action with custom logic or use game action and change to it.
I created a simple example with some explanation.

You can control action transition by using natives and control original code execution by return value.

Plugin_Handled - Blocks original function and uses your result
Plugin_Changed - Calls original function and uses your result
Plugin_Continue - Doesn't do anything

This was super helpful @BHaType, thank you very much!

"Actions" are all new to me so it may take a while to digest, but I believe this will let me finish what I was working on. Thank you again for such a detailed and helpful reply!

Installed the freshest version and got this in the logs:

UPD: Ok, I see a similar post back there, could you please post a l4d2 version of that?

[Dragokas]

@KoMiKoZa, need to re-compile on Debian 9, or update server OS.

I see, thanks. Well, I'd be glad if anyone could post the compiled version here.

Renting a server, don't think the support is going to bother with that, but might be worth a try asking. Myself, I am clueless as to how anything beyond Windows OS works, so...

Put back the backups of shove_fix.lmx and actions.l4d2.ext, works fine. Will do until then.

I'll update topic later with Left 4 Dead 1 update to 3.0 version.

As Dragokas said, it has to be compiled against older ubuntu like this one which should resolve your issue.

Oof. I thought this was for L4D1 because of its name, hence why I asked for the L4D2 version. Yeah, that works alright, thanks!
