This plugin is to prevent double smoker and hunters bots when teams are not full, it will only kill the bots of these class when a smoker or a hunter player has already spawned.

Knowns issues:
In versus does not prevent it when human player spawn after the bot, so while it does not fix the problem entirely it will greatly limit it. Player spawn event does not trigger when player is in ghost state, will try to find something else.

=====
some advices
can easy to just L4DD to process these, like forward

forward Action L4D_OnSpawnSpecial(int &zombieClass, const float vecPos[3], const float vecAng[3]); 


and change the zombieClass, then you dont have to kick new zombie
, for upload file, if you name file to .sp, the .smx file will automatically compile by forum, so you dont have to upload .smx yourself

You are right the kick work better, i will change it.

Thanks for the native of left4dhooks, i will try to see how to make it works.

I already wrote a plugin that does this: Special Infected Limit

Uses the z_*_limit cvar values to limit the maximum number of each Special Infected type allowed to be alive.

I tested your plugin and i have the default z_smoker_limit which is on 1 according to the wiki, i tried both spawning before and after the smoker/hunter bot and none was prevented. I will admit that i don't have the last version of left4dhooks but unless you fixed a bug on the native recently it should not matter.

The convar not being respected by the game in versus and throwing double SI with bots when you don't have a full team of players in infected is a long time issue. Anyway i had fun rack my brain trying to fix the problem and i think my plugin works pretty well, also it does not have a dependency.

Upload the file as .sp and remove the .smx.

version 1.3

-Added a check to ignore the bot if he managed to grab a survivor before being kicked (unlikely)
-Augmented a little the timer so player spawn event does not trigger before bot replacing player on tank spawn.

For versus, you will need to use this convar: z_versus_smoker_limit “1”, instead of z_smoker_limit “1”.

They are all on 1 by default.
