Description:
This plugin allows a player on the infected team to kill themselves by pressing a specified button (default: ZOOM). I only made the suicide possible for the infected I thought it might prove useful. Boomer of course so that while near a player, instead of getting melee'd away and proved useless, you can detonate yourself and get the bile all over them. Spitter suicide could be useful in a few different instances, perhaps you just used your spit, but still want to block a doorway so you can detonate yourself there, or perhaps on a downed survivor. Smoker I added for the people who have that dreaded smoker cloud, it could prove useful when survivors are trapped in a specific location.

Now, just for convenience, it is possible for all special infected classes to self-detonate, although only the ones I thought it would prove useful for are enabled by default.

CVARs:
l4d_detonate_button - Specifies infected self-detonation button. 0 = no self-detonation, (default) 1 = ZOOM, 2 = RELOAD, 3 = MELEE

l4d2_charger_detonate_on - Charger detonate is enabled or disabled. 1 = enabled

l4d2_jockey_detonate_on - Jockey detonate is enabled or disabled. 1 = enabled

l4d2_spitter_detonate_on - Spitter detonate enabled or disabled. 1 = enabled

l4d_boomer_detonate_on - Boomer detonate is enabled or disabled. 1 = enabled

l4d_hunter_detonate_on - Hunter detonate is enabled or disabled. 1 = enabled

l4d_smoker_detonate_on - Smoker detonate is enabled or disabled. 1 = enabled

l4d_tank_detonate_on - Tank detonate is enabled or disabled. 1 = enabled

l4d_display_detonation - Sets whether or not to display when players self-detonate. 1 = enabled

Problems:
No more problems as far as I know. It's now tested and working for Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2.

To-Dos:
- add some cvars to allow customization - DONE!!!
- add cvar to allow changing of which button suicides - DONE!!!
- add cvar to allow delay for suicide - MIGHT NOT ADD
- clean up code - DONE!!!
- change code to not slap back the infected when they suicide - DONE!!!
- fix any other bugs that come up
- take suggestions?

Info about the author:
I have limited knowledge about programming, and this is the first time I've touched any source code in about 3 years, so bear with me. This is my first plugin, but I do not intend it to be my last, I run my own server and plan to make some more mods in the future. I'm going to be taking some programming classes when I move back home within the next week, and over the next couple months plan to get some more mods published.

Credit/Thanks:
marvel - this plugin was inspired by his idea posted here: http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=122324

DieTeetasse - his answering to my jockey making survivor jump request and me taking a look at some source code inspired me to get started on this, plus he posted some simple code that helped jump start this plugin.

VALVe "hardcoded" it in. Boomers suiciding do not bile survivors. All you need to do is hook into the stumble hook, check if the initiator is on the infected team, then fake the stumbled players using the command "it". Of course you need to de-cheat it first. "it" basically biles whoever puts the command it.

If you'd like I could help you with the plugin.

[alexip121093]

you should add my ghost check code to prevent infected players kill themselves while in ghost mode

[alexip121093]

new propinfoghost;
 
public OnPluginStart()
{
propinfoghost = FindSendPropInfo("CTerrorPlayer", "m_isGhost");
}
 
bool:IsPlayerSpawnGhost(client)
{
 if(GetEntData(client, propinfoghost, 1)) return true;
 else return false;
}

if(IsPlayerSpawnGhost(client)) return;

[alexip121093]

also
IsPlayerAlive(client)
should add in the plugin
otherwise there are error

i didn't use the actual suicide code, i used the code to fake damage, but i guess i would have to make players stumble anyways to get the bile working
