[L4D2] Adrenaline & Pills Powerups

Introduction
This Plugin was originally developed in a response that Adrenaline should have more than just having faster channeling times, no melee cooldowns, etc.

Originally developed over here, I was still learning how to script efficiently. But some personal issues cropped up in my life that led me to unable to lead a good first impression (Not to mention a challenge to figure out how to reformat that page too!).

Now that I have somewhat learned how to script a little bit better, I decided to expand over on this plugin and hopefully impress you guys once again.

Descriptions (and features)
- Using the Adrenaline guarentees faster reloading, weapon firing, and melee swinging rates
- Using the Pain Pills grants the boosts on a probability scale (customizable)
- Multiple ConVars to tweek to any server needs

Installation
- Click on the Get Plugin at the bottom of the post and place 'l4d(2)_powerups_rush.smx' into your ...addons\sourcemod\plugins directory
- Alternatively, you can also click on the Get Source at the bottom of the post and compile it yourself

Admin Commands
sm_giveadren - Give Adrenaline to everybody
sm_givepills - Give Pain Pills to everybody
sm_giverandom - Give either Adrenaline or Pain Pills to everybody

Excellent plugin! I just love it!

[dirka_dirka]

i see in your onpluginstart you set some global vars

PHP Code:

g_fl_reload_rate = 0.5714;
g_flDT_rate = 0.6667; 


they should be

PHP Code:

g_fl_reload_rate = GetConVarFloat(g_h_reload_rate);
g_flDT_rate =  GetConVarFloat(g_hDT_rate); 


as they are now, whatever someone puts in their config file is ignored. the only way to use some other value is to change the cvar after the plugin loads.

Hey guys, sorry if bumping this is a no no but I need some help.

I love this addon but there is a bug, I run a VS server and have l4d_powerups_pills_give_on set to "1"
The very first team to play survivors on the very first map don't get pills, so I manually give them pills with sm_givepills.
But I'm not always around to do this, any one with some experience able to help so it always gives pills the very first round?

[MasterMind420]

Try this...http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?p=1131184 works pretty good. Haven't tried starting with pills but I have with adrenaline and not sure if its another plugin or the mod itself but when u spawn u get adrenaline and a crap load on the ground around you...very customizable though as far as load out...good luck ;)

As of today (for some reason) The reload/firerate have gone crazy.. no matter what i set them to, it's maxed out and i can't change it. I've restarted the server, i've removed and readded the plugin and config, same thing. I can't figure this out but would love to keep using the plugin.

Works Tested. Weapons reload fast. And shoots fast.Change. l4d_powerups_duration. To Desired Time.
