Special Infected Synchronization (AI+)

In 1 collection by Thumos
Special Infected Synchronization Bundle
3 items
Description
This add-on will allow special infected to attack all at once. Unlike my deprecated mutation named "Concerted Contagion", this one will work with any game mode either in single player or on a local server.

What this add-on does is allow the special infected to respawn based on a set timer since the last special infected was killed. Once the time is up, all special infected will be able to spawn and attack at the same time. Additionally, the command variables for the infected have been modified to make them attack more efficiently.

Overall, this add-on will entice the survivors to be more cautious when dealing with the special infected as they can potentially catch you off-guard if you're not careful.

Additional Information
If you want to change the settings of this add-on and/or know what each of the available options do, see this thread.

If you want to know how to use chat to change settings in-game, see this thread.

If you'd like to use a different version of the add-on, they can be found in the Special Infected Synchronization Bundle.

If this add-on gets updated, then I recommend moving the `sisync-ai+` folder out of the `./ems/` directory so the settings in the configuration file will be properly generated.

@Rtma Eros Paragon The `EFL_NO_THINK_FUNCTION` constant variable prevents the entity from performing its think functions.

To learn more about these constant variables, I recommend viewing the Garry's Mod Wiki. [wiki.facepunch.com]

What exactly does this function do that is missing currently?
Thumos  [author] 27 Jul @ 12:23am 
@Rtma Eros Paragon It turns out I forgot to add the `EFL_NO_THINK_FUNCTION` constant variable to the `Sync Only` and `AI+` versions of the `Special Infected Synchronization` add-ons. I'll have to fix this error in the next update.

I am experiencing my console being filled with these error messages lately, any idea on how to fix?

Is it normal that it disables my means of finding the dead locked up?

ツ Apparently, I forgot to add the link to the guide while I was editing my comment. Nevertheless, you can set up a local Versus server to use this add-on. Here's the guide that'll show you how to modify the `addonconfig.cfg` file in the `./left4dead2/cfg/` directory.

Can it be done if the vpk method is used?
Thumos  [author] 2 May @ 6:00pm 
ツ Since this add-on uses VScripts, the only way you can use it in Versus would be to set the value of the `versus` variable underneath `RestrictAddons` to `0` and then create a local server. For more details, you can view this guide which shows you how to enable add-ons in Versus on local servers.

works on vs?
Thumos  [author] 20 Apr @ 11:51am 
@exactly 1 knight If you want to play campaigns as if it were Versus, then I recommend installing the `Special Infected Synchronization (Competitive)` add-on instead as the `MaxSpecials` option is set to `4` by default which will allow up to four special infected to spawn at once.
