this was on hold for months, i was reluctant to post this, since it's still not perfect and polished, but oh well

i know that manacat already does this, but I want to make my own version

Description
original sourcemod plugin[forums.alliedmods.net], recoded by harry potter[github.com] (somehow deleted right after I posted this), ported to vscript by me.

Witch will try to retarget other survivors instead of sticking to one target and run away.

Notes and Features:
  • Witch will retarget if:
    1. The witch successfully kills or incapacitates a survivor.
    2. The witch's target ledge-hanged themselves.
    3. The witch's target is incapacitated or died from another source.
    4. The witch's target entered a checkpoint.
  • The witch cannot retarget to a survivor that is standing in a checkpoint area, unless the witch is in that area as well.
  • You might notice that the sitting witch squats for a split second before retargeting, that's because I am still resetting her AI, it needs a delay before she can attack.
  • The witch theme will reset when retargeting.

  • Include configurable settings, see the pinned discussion for more information.
  • This script doesn't retarget the witch by fake-biling, igniting the witch or deleting the witch and spawning a new one, because I don't like those methods.
  • This script is not perfect, there are small rare bugs which I don't think are fixable, it involves retargeting the witch using bile and fire.
  • Only works on local/dedicated servers.

If you somehow encounter a crash while using this
cl_forcepreload 1
Try changing cl_forcepreload convar to 1, either from your autoexec or console.
Other than that, I don't know any other ways to help you, this is why it's still in beta, still have no idea what's causing it.

I haven't tried it myself, but if you use this on a 100 tick server, you will most likely crash.

Recommended mods to pair this with:

Special thanks to the nightmare modpack community and vscripters that gave me some insights.

no i am not a beyta fan, no idea where that modified word even coming from

Heh, the day someone makes a flashlight startling mod I'm probably dropping the AI thing, as good as that mod is.

Sadly, looking through manacat's codes, his script are not compatible-friendly and tends to break other people's script, Shadowysn's notably and coded in a questionable way, so you should consider giving up on one side.

If you're just mostly using manacat's and want more features to enhance the witch's threat then go for his script, otherwise you can go for this one.

Thank you for creating your mod. I really enjoy the way the Witch attacks by knocking down one survivor and then moving on to knock down the next. However, I also like some of the features in Manacat’s Witch mod. May I ask if your mod and his can be used together and work correctly?

Perhaps it's because I use it with Manacat's Improved Witch AI.

I can't seem to replicate the issue :(

@warrant for a rest
That's great news to me, I always try to make them compatible friendly with other scripts as much as i can :)

V It crashes if she rapidly gets restartled after a survivor to another, otherwise it works fine.

I noticed this script updated when I was checking my workshop folder, so thought I'd comment how I haven't had any crashing issues since I installed it (around three weeks now) and have played quite a few games with it, even with countless other vscripts/sourcemod plugins/100 tick running at the same time. Great stuff!

now the witch become the chosen of Khorne

thanks! That's one gimmick about manacat's that encourages me to make my own :)

Fantastic work on this! A lot of plugins/scripts that try to accomplish witch retargeting like this tend to be quite jank by utilizing methods like respawning the witch to reset her AI or using fire/bile to change targets, but you didn't go this route and did the hard work to make this work great. Amazing job!
