Introduction

ive noticed on my versus server that a good team can easily rush to the end while the infected barely have a chance to do any real damage so i created this plugin to not only give the infected more time to do damage but to also add a tiny bit more variety to the maps.

Purpose

spawns mini events around the map to slow player progression.

Features

- allows you to store up to 10 possible event locations per map.
- 1-3 events will be spawned per map.
- events will spawn in the same location for both versus teams.
- convars for hoard duration and barrier burn time.
- uses https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=147542
- including my config folder with multiple events already positioned.
- if for some reason the cans don't ignite the barrier you can shove the barrier to get a molotov to burn them.

Convars

-"mini_event_burn_time" how long until the barrier disappears
-"mini_event_hoard_time" how long the hoard lasts for
-"mini_event_can_glow" 1 for glows on, anything else = off
-"mini_event_on" 1 events will spawn otherwise they wont

[U]Installation[U]

- minievent folder goes in sourcemod/configs folder.
- minievents.smx goes in plugins folder.
- the minievents.sp and spawnpoints.inc files go in sourcemod/scripting

commands

- "minievent_add" add a spwn point
- "minievent_del" delete a spawn point
- "sm_testbar" spawns a barrier where you are looking
- "minievent_mark" temporarily shows all mini event locations and saves the config

to create an event stand where you want to place it facing towards the direction the survivours will approach from and use the command "minievent_add".

to remove a position stand near it and use "minievent_del".

in the console it will say if it as added/deleted successfully.

after you have placed them use "minievent_mark" to save the positions.

[U] Update [U]

- events are now wider and can fit better in more locations.

known issues

when my config folder was first created, I'm not sure why but it was created where the server didn't have access to it so i had to manually change its permissions, that might be an issue for some people. other then that i don't think theirs any game breaking issues.

this plugin uses the "player_left_start_area" event to spawn the events, any plugins that blocks that event will likely break this plugin.

it works perfectly on my versus server, i have tried to make it work with campaign however i have not tested it in campaign at all.

Where should I install the minievent folder?

[rekcah]

it just goes in the configs folder

the gascans do not reach nor break the barriers and having to reload the map just to see if they worked its eh I mean I like the idea but it seems like it needs more work o.o

[sonic155]

how do you remove the red glowing showing the gascans?

Can I add more event types?

No, there is only this one event as of now. By the way, if the command to save does not work, make sure to end the map after you are done setting spawn. This will save it.

[Alex101192]

For everybody who wants to use this plugin but is too lazy to set up the barriers manually, here's already made configs by me for most valve maps. Barriers are set on all l4d2 maps but cold stream, and no mercy and dead air. I made them as fair as possible and I had to remove some which were put right at a tank spawn, and thus blocking the tank path. They are much better than the ones included by the author.

nice plugin

add support for l4d1 and new sintaxys
