Reply With Quote #1

Hi guys, I have a certain bug which I have seen in some multislots (8vs8, 6vs6 etc) servers as well as my own small server.

When playing as an Infected who can pin someone, let's use Charger as an example. When he gets the message YOU WILL BECOME THE TANK and charges somebody, then usually at the moment he stops charging and he lifts the Survivor up to pound him, he becomes the Tank and then the Survivor will be stuck to him getting pounded like a charger, he takes no damage at all but he is just stuck there and the Tank gets teleported around. The survivor can only be released if the Tank dies, sometimes if a boomer explodes him or a charger takes him.

I've tried to replicate this on both without any plugins and with usual plugins and successful in both, this seems to happen because of : usually when a Infected is going to convert into a tank , the Infected will turn into a bot and the human player becomes the Tank. When this happens it works as intended, however sometimes this does not happen, the Infected doesn't turn into a bot and just disappears without being killed and the pinned Survivor then gets stuck to the Tank. I have seen this happen with hunter, smoker as well, maybe a recent L4D2 update may have caused this.

I was wondering if anyone is able to fix this or if there is an existing plugin already? I am noob at code so I don't know how I would do this as it is advanced for me, but I think a plugin to always force the infected to turn into a Bot when becoming tank will be able to fix this.

I have video footage as well, if interested PM me and I can send it
