I have however been thinking of making an rng charger mechanic that allows the Charger to either do as you say, or do as he generally does in the game.

@guert

The Meaner Charger/Lesser Meaner Charger has this feature, it is however only designed to afflict incapacitated survivors.

Then there is the E3 Charger, the only problem is that the E3 Charger utilizes a whole divergent infrastructure that will not work well with this mod.

i wonder if there's a mod out there that makes survivors fly when a charging charger hits them instead of grabbing them. something like that paired with this would make the charger the perfect "brute" infected

Late reply because I forgot I posted this comment: If the whole "rock scatter" ability would be a bit too finicky to implement, then I think the ground slam on its own would be pretty cool. Though, if I want this as an addon, do I need to buy a commission or something alone those lines? I've got 66 dollars right now in my Steam Wallet but I can come back with more after a holiday or something.

@The Midwesterner

These attacks are not impossible to make though, although the projectile from the flurry attack would be a tad gimmicky to code; to ensure it works with the AI tank too.

However, I'm pretty sure giving the infected entirely new, built-from-scratch attacks would actually be impossible with Left 4 Dead 2's minimal default programming. So that's pretty much just a fantasy on my part.

Well, the ideas I had conceptualized (only ideas because I'm not math-brained enough to code) wouldn't require extra animations I don't think. The "Full Tank Moveset" idea I thought of involved giving the Tank two ranged attacks, his regular boulder throw using the default 3 animations, and a short-ranged flurry of multiple rock fragments using the beta Turtle Rock throwing animation. Also an AOE ground pound using his incap attack anims that would deal moderate damage and inflict stagger in a radius similarly to the charger's impact shockwave.

@The Midwesterner

Generally you can only work with animations which the game provides, otherwise it is technically possible to compile their animation models with extra animations... that'd perhaps fit that criteria you speak of.

With mods like these and the growing popularity of v-scripts, I wonder if we'll see more modified special attack patterns in the future, like Tanks with full movesets or Common Infected with heavy attacks.

I need that 3rd person mode when being charged

@Morch oh ok

@TheUndertakerLol

The Charger just punted Nick because of a plugin of mine, it was never stated to be a feature.

when the charger charged in the video, and sent nick flying, is that also a feature cuz it dont work on mine

Ah, makes sense lol

Welp, thanks for reminding me about that since many people use that script.

@Bhmartin89

Stumbling will cancel the swatting mechanic, since game disables gravity when you're staggering unless you fall outta an edge to cancel the animation; that's an incompatible script right there, therefore a problem you have created.

I don't have any other scripts relating to The Charger/All SI other than Meaner Charger and Scratch Stumbles Survivors

@Bhmartin89

You might have something that is incompatible with it, it is impossible to know what can or cannot break it.

Doesn't work in versus, when meleeing survivors they're never sent flying or anything, but the swat animation plays

"Surviva did I just catch you having fun?" - Charger

How to use in Versus?

i have an idea of a charger script mod i wanna make myself but i have no clue how to go about it, this helps with putting it into thought

@kouta

I have never tested this mod with 8 people, the game itself is not even designed for more than 4 too.

You have to be mindful that it could be other mods of yours, assuming you have a lot.

Like that scene from the intro where a charger (as I presume) swats ellis into a wall and then starts doing his thing? If so then do you have a video because that sounds extremely cool :)

Just got wombo comboed by the Charger for the first time today as it swatted me into the air first and then perfectly timed and aligned the charge and caught my ass just as I was falling down.
I love it.❤

@LuckyRoot

It is a possibility, perhaps.

Ya know. I had a vision...
If swatting can send the survivors flying.....what if.....the Charger can also swat obstacles and send them flying towards the survivors like the Tanks?

@E7ajamy

Yeah, it does look kinda like a stone heart.

which is cool if you ask me

thumbnail looks like a heart

@Sgt. Peanut WeaponHandling API, it is not a vscript addon but a sourcemod plugin.

What is the script mod in the video preview which makes pistol fire rate faster while being incapped?

the charger started reviving you lmao

"watch yo tone mf"

watch yo tone

There should be another idea script for hunter smoker and jockey

"Nigga did I just catch you having fun?" Type of backhand lol

You are out of line, but you cookin'.

adding this to my "why isn't this just in the vanilla game" collection

@LuckyRoot

Perhaps i should do an RNG version, i do have code for it.

imagine not being verse

what

Choices…choices…
Do I wanna get backhanded all Hoodwinked style?
Or do I wanna get thrusted like a puny god?
Hmmm…

Ah alrighty then

@PlayerZero

It will feel as it does for the bot.

@PlayerZero

It just works at random.

the desc says this works in versus, is there a specific way for it work? or it is just random
