Having the same issue I was having with the new hunter plugin.

The plugin not recognizing cvar changes labeled in the server.cfg.

That's because they can't be set in the server.cfg, they need to be set in their own cfg file. L4d2.hulking tank.cfg in the cfg\sourcemod folder.

After seeing the Titan Fist in action, and getting sent flying countless times by it and because of boomer explosions, I realized that I love getting sent flying all the time.

Is there a way to make it so that in Expert the Tank still sends you flying instead of just instantly incapping you?

And is there a way to make it so that if you get hit by the Tank while Incapped, you still get sent flying too (Titan Fist also accomplishes this part btw).

Basically, instead of just being the Titan Fist, is there a way to make it so that EVERY hit on Expert sends you flying?

I love playing on Expert, but imo the Tank should always make you go flying because of the force behind his punches ;p

Did you fix the "super roar" issue for tank roar? The one where survivors are flung all the way to the skybox and fall to their death?

Edit: Tested it out and this plugin's roar feels different than the old one. Hopefully that means it was fixed

Edit 2: Can you add an option so a tank has to be below x health before they can roar? Just like the original Tank Roar plugin.

Edit 3: And can we get an option to disable everything except the tank bellow? I noticed tanks get an extra 50% health. Would prefer to turn that off.

Added in a cvar to control TitanFistIncap. If enabled everytime you incap a survivor it'll send them flying.

Q1: I completely rewrote the roar affects but used that plugin as a basis. It fixes everything that plugin had problems with though.

Q2: Added in a cvar to control the health required for Titanic Bellow.

Q3: Nothing should be modifying the Tank HP unless you start to hibernate. If you want to disable the other parts just look in the CFG file and put 0 next to the other abilities you don't wish to use.

I was just thinking of another feature that be cool as a toggable cvar option for the VS tank.

Not sure how much work or feasible it would be. I've only seen it once before and it was never a public addition.

Anyway the idea is simple.

As a VS exclusive. Allow the tank to spawn in like SI.

1. Survivors move through the map
2. Tank notification per usual
3. The SI player gets a ghost tank just like how the SI spawn into the game
4. Like frustration, the tank has a set amount of time he has to spawn into the map
5. Unlike frustration, this timer keeps going
6. If the players exceeds the timer, like frustration, it goes to the next player
7. If two SI players exceed the limit, the tank will spawn like normal as an AI tank
8. The spawn radius of the ghosted tank should be the same as SI
9. Once the player tank leaves ghost to spawn into the map, normal rules apply like frustration, etc

It can theoretically be done. I'd need to suppress the director and then lottery pick a player to become tank. They'd have the SI ghost but when they spawn it would become a Tank.

I actually just did this for Tank Rush with the help of Infected Spawn API.

Here's a the bit of code you'll need to change someone from tank to ghost and keep them in the same spot:

PHP Code:

new m_vecVelocity0 = FindSendPropInfo("CTerrorPlayer", "m_vecVelocity[0]");

decl Float:AbsOrigin[3];
decl Float:EyeAngles[3];
decl Float:Velocity[3];

GetClientAbsOrigin(client,AbsOrigin);
GetClientEyeAngles(client,EyeAngles);

Velocity[0] = GetEntDataFloat(client,m_vecVelocity0);
Velocity[1] = GetEntDataFloat(client,m_vecVelocity0 + 4);
Velocity[2] = GetEntDataFloat(client,m_vecVelocity0 + 8);

new m_isCulling = FindSendPropInfo("CTerrorPlayer","m_isCulling");
SetEntData(client,m_isCulling,1,1);
SDKCall(g_hZombieAbortControl,client,0.0);
            
TeleportEntity(client, AbsOrigin, EyeAngles, Velocity); 


And you'll need this in the gamedata file (which is used in the SDKCall above):

"Games"
{
	"left4dead2"
	{
		"Signatures"
		{
			"ZombieAbortControl"
			{
				"library"	"server"
				"windows"	"\x55\x8b\xec\x83\xec*\x56\x8b\xf1\xe8****\x83\xf8*\x0f\x85****\x8b\x06\x8b\x90***\x00\x8b\xce\xff\xd2\x84\xc0"
				"linux"		"@_ZN13CTerrorPlayer24PlayerZombieAbortControlEv"
			}
		}
	}
}

You can actually use that bit of code on the player_spawn event and check if they're a non-bot tank, then turn them into a ghost.

The only problem I had (which may be unique to Tank Rush) is if another tank spawns the ghost tank will still be a candidate to take control of that tank. Shouldn't be a problem in a regular versus server though.

I disable everything except burning rage, but he's still allowed to use titan fist. I know this because I get the printochat message.
