Description
"If L4D1 tank can sprint when he's on fire, why not making a sprint feature for survivors too?"


Just a random idea coming out of the blue. I'm not sure if there's already a mod like this or not,because so far I have only ever seen a mod to randomize common infected's speed. But well, I just made it anyway :D .

This mod allows survivors to sprint by holding E (Use) & then press movement keys (A, W, S, D).

Q:"Isn't normal movement without holding SHIFT already a running movement?"
A:"Let's say that it's a normal run, not sprint. This mod makes survivors sprint."


List of features available on "sprint system.txt" cfg file:
  1. sprint_user: Who can use this (bots/ players/ all). For bots, they will sprint automatically, & when stamina hits 0, they will restore automatically.

  2. sprint_speed: How fast is the sprint speed. The value is a multiplier of the normal speed, & can be in decimals/ floats. Min= 1, max= no limit (you can go into saiyan mode by moving too fast when setting the value higher than 4, at your own risk :D ).

  3. max_stamina: Max stamina of each survivor. This will be decreased by 1 every 0.5 second when sprinting.

  4. allow_custom_button_for_sprint: Disabled by default. When disabled, E (Use) is used as the sprint button. When enabled, a custom cvar "kuro_sprint_mode" can be used. Bind this cvar to a key with alias on console, for example like this:
    bind = "sprint+" alias sprint+ "kuro_sprint_mode 1; bind = sprint-" alias sprint- "kuro_sprint_mode 0; bind = sprint+"


List of features available on "sprint system.txt" cfg file:
  • Hold E (Use) & then press any movement keys (A,W,S,D) to activate sprinting.

  • When "allow_custom_button_for_sprint" is set to 1, you need to bind a key with alias (follow the example on the feature above). When the bind on a key is set, it works as toggle on/off. It means that one press will activate sprint, & one more press to deactivate (like how flashlight works).

  • Sprinting speed is controlled by "sprint_speed"

  • Sprinting reduces stamina by 1 every 0.5 second. There will be notifications when stamina is low, & when stamina hits 0 or minus.

  • WHen stamina is 0 or minus, the movement speed is reduced to 50% when attempting to sprint. However, the speed will be back to normal (1x) when releasing E key.

  • Stamina can be restored every 1 second by releasing E. Crouching will greatly restore stamina (standing= +1 stamina/ second, sitting= +3 stamina/ second).

  • You can't jump properly when sprinting (Jump will be cancelled halfway). So, if you're sprinting, don't jump.

  • When bots are allowed to sprint, they will sprint automatically. & when their stamina hits 0, they will restore stamina automatically. Bot's movement penalty is disabled, so if they run out of stamina, they simply just move with 1x normal speed like usual.

  • *NEW*] a chat commandis available: "refresh sprint script". This chat command will re-launch the sprint script. Use this chat command in case if the sprint script stops working when loaded together with lots of mods at once, or in custom maps that heavily use lots of scripts that can make some mods stop working.


Ok, now it looks more like COD then... Well, but Squall said, "Whatever..." :D


CREDITS:
  • Postal: Running With Scissor logo.


NOTES:
  • This mod may be incompatible with mods that increase or decrease movement speed via vscripts.

@ TrueKringe , it's closest button to movement buttons after all. Other buttons have their own problems, like Score button will distract your screen, Reload button will make you reload (it will mess things if you reload during horde or when special is nearby), Zoom button will have a problem with snipers & sg552. Use button doesn't hinder most of the time except during interactions with usable objects/ doors/ switch/ incapped survivor, so it won't hinder most actions. Alternatively, see the "allow_custom_button_for_sprint" feature on the description then. That will allow toggle on/off on any alias bind you set.

Why are you using E, of all buttons, as the default sprint button? This basically conflicts with the "use" button and really mess me up a bunch of times (like when there's someone getting incapped nearby).

It's really good, just kind of annoying going through open door ways

if you want to make non-toggleable and held down

alias +sprint "kuro_sprint_mode 1"

alias -sprint "kuro_sprint_mode 0"

bind shift +sprint

also you can just unbind e and then rebind the interact button so you can just have a custom button

@Zaden , try "m_iFOV". This controls the zooming state. 0 is to zoom out back to normal state, while value above 0 affects the zoom rate (how far the zoom). I used this netprops on my "M203 Series" mods. If you want to apply sprint on zoom, you can use timer to check if "m_iFOV" is changed. If it's changed, change the movement speed etc.

@kurochama
By any chance, do you know how to bind it with the Scope-In or Zoom input inside the VScript?
I've tried "m_hZoomOwner" and "ZoomButton = 524288"
kurochama  [author] 16 Aug @ 4:35am 
@ Zaden , there's a netprops for changing movement speed. It's "m_flLaggedMovement". You can check the scripts for some examples. This netprops can still be active on ladders & in water, though the speed is still reduced & not as fast as when sprinting on normal grounds.

@ ZOLKING , it should work automatically on campaign mode, as on the animated previews, I tested on campaign mode. But you need to host the local server.

How do I make it work in campaign mode and not just survival?

@kurochama
May I ask, how did you manage to do it?! :O
I've been trying to do a vscript that would give you a speed boost (mine would be while you scoped-in), and yours is the only scrip that lets me do it :mbnecodown:

@Wero !!! , the custom button works like flashlight. One press to activate, & another press to deactivate. & the formats on the alias must be like that on the example to set a toggle on/off on a button.
