Say I get tank, and I don't want tank, I want to give my friend tank... Well, I could sit there and wait for frustration to run out, but there is no guarantee that it will switch to her. I want a small plugin that will allow me to "give" control of the tank to whoever I specify, such as:

/gt Fire

Now they become tank, and I either:

1) Die
2) Take over their SI (possible?)

It could have a menu for /gt (without parameters) but I don't really need that.

You could set the Frustration CVAR to 0 for a moment .. a player would lose control ... and this table here decides who gets tank next, i think

PHP Code:

CTerrorPlayerResource

You'd need to find the entity with those values .. its probably one of these

PHP Code:

terror_player_manager
terror_gamerules
cs_team_manager 


And set the Player ID you WANT to get tank the highest ticket number.

I'm not into that higher level stuff yet lol. Dunno how to use any of it... Thats why I posted it in requests
I still want this: http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=99320

I've tried changing an Infected's Class just once ... it crashed the server. Also i've seen better Coders than me attempt it and not succeed .. so no.

But this Tank idea, i'll give it a shot.

[Dragonshadow]

I thought you could do (for the switching) something like, kill both players, spawn their opposite infected for them, then force them into ghost mode.

Thanks for looking into the tank thing

Can we change who controls tank with this table? And if yes, how exactly?

[Dragonshadow]

any news?

[OtterNas3]

1 problem that occur, on Kill & Respawn, in the final maps would be when the final is started already...

When the second Tank in final spawn, someone get control of it, let's say a menu opens and the Player can select to swap with someone:
Tank get killed and respawns, but i'm sure Server will end final and the Rescue Vehicle will come instantly.

So it should be deactivated on final maps.

Moo,

what about being able to control the frustation metter, if the player doens't want the tank then press a key or say something on the chat and the frustation meter goes down, and another player get the control.

Ive written the basic code layout. But i havent checked yet if tank tickets even have any value in versus matches, because i havent played any. Thank mi123645 for that, he insists i spend all my L4D time with him, testing his Infected Bots.
