About:

This plugin improves AI Tank behaviour. Now he ignore the Survivors who using mounted machinegun.

Now Tank find as target nearest survivor.

He don't let you cut his back by melee.

Also by Cvars he can ignore or choose as victim vomited and incapacitated survivors.

If you set Cvar to choose as victim incapacitated survivors then AI Tank will be chasing nearest incapacitated survivors only on Hard and Expert difficulties because he can kill them fast.

If you set Cvar to choose as victim incapacitated and vomited survivors then AI Tank will be also chasing nearest survivor who been incapacitated or vomited.

This plugin supports only Left 4 Dead 2!

axelnieves2012 for this plugin which served as the idea for my plugin.

This has conflicting ideas with Target Override plugin. Sure I didn't add blocking minigun by patching the game but the linked plugin I guess should have covered for both games not just L4D2. I don't see the point of duplicating Target Override with fewer options just to patch minigun and add 1 small feature.

Failed to compile your source code. The above is the wrong picture. I hope it can be fixed. Sorry, my English is not very good.

It seems like your compiler doesn't have access to write a compiled .smx file on your disk "D". Try to download a compiled .smx file from my first post.
