The Performance hit is next to nothing im told. L4D runs a lot of OnGameFrame stuff itself.

Just wondering if there will be any significant performance hits with this plugin on SM 1.2? I noticed you're using OnGameFrame.

Been running some plugins for months that use OnGameFrame, it really is not a big deal. If it had caused a problem our host would have complained immediately since we were only allotted x amount of cpu.

But oh its so much fun xD

Yeah the term POUNCE is what was confusing. Pounce implies jumping into a person and scratching them until knocked off like a hunter does. So what is a Boomer Rocket Pounce?

Hey, got your plugin (for 1.3 sm version). WORKS GREAT, but there is one problem - No matter how fast i move before leap, i got the same leap velocity. And you stated that if you move slow you wont leap high and far. Can you look into it or add cvar to control base leap velocity? I dont know if the same happens in 1.2 version. Also, a hint message for infected players would be nice, but again, i dont know a way to hook "entering ghost mode". Anyway - super awesome plugin.

I assume you mean vertical jump power, which is always the same all right.

It's because there's no such thing as jumping too high ... the worst that could happen is you knock against a ceiling and fall down

Well, if i just tap key a little it wont jump so far, so its ok, thanx. Need an effective way to hook entering ghost state to print out hint message now, and it will be perfect. How about ghost_spawn_time event. I think i will test something like this: getting spawntime from event and if its less than x seconds (ideally, right before entering ghost mode) create message for player. Can you try this? I have local server running now, cant test right now.

Use an OnGameFrame check for being Alive (fires on Ghosts) and being a Ghost. Then set the Player as 'ghostly'. On player_spawn reset that attribute and all is golden.
