[CST] Rescue Closet Takeover

Idea by kouga

This script is for changing the skin of a survivor after rescuing them from a closet

The settings are located in:
/Left 4 Dead 2/left4dead2/ems/custom_survivor_takeover/rescue_closet_takeover_settings.cfg

There is an option for limited rescues.
It will keep track of who died and which profile was already used up for a rescue. After using up all the profiles, rescue closets will be disabled.

The default settings also disables the calls for rescue because they are using the wrong voices
The "Thanks" voice is also wrong, but idk how to fix that

Another option is to revert whoever you rescued, on restart. To make it seem like you went back to a time when you didn't rescue them in this round yet, and to bring back characters who died in the current chapter

(ndhart321 idea) Another option is takeover_dead_survivors_next_chapter (default is false) and percent chance. For changing the character of teammates who died in the previous round. This is to make it seem like you found a new survivor in the saferoom willing to join your team
But if limited rescues is on, and you ran out of profiles to use, then this won't happen. So, I recommend Persistent Death mod if you don't want previous dead survivors to come back next chapter

@The_cold_lombax i had that same bug while playtesting: its a conflict with your other mods. check if you have a mod that has "sv_rescue_disabled" set to 1.

for me it was Special Infected Synchronization (Competitive). fixing it was as easy as going to their ems settings and removing "sv_rescue_disabled 1" from the convar cfg file

Hell yeah! This was exactly what I was looking for! Thanks for this.

However, 2 things:

1. Bots don't seem to open rescue closets and ignores them most of the time, it could be related to them not yelling but idk.

2. This is a bit complicated:
I have Yusuke, Sara, Haruka and Blake use takeovers = ["@clone"]. (for 9-12th survivors).

When I transition to the next map with either one of these characters, either one or many survivors get scrambled. (ex. Ellis on the first map turns to Nick on the second map).

I'm assuming setting takeovers other than @random breaks this mod.

EDIT: Error 2 still happens regardless of takeover, could be errors related to having 4+ survivors.

Nah they are optional, you can just use vanilla survivors if you want
BrickBlock 9 Sep @ 8:26am 
Wait I understand now, but are the custom survivors needed?

So, are the Left 4 dead: survivors models a thing in the mod or just a mod that you had while demonstrating the mod?

@ndhart321
Ok I added an option for takeover_dead_survivors_next_chapter (its false by default) and percent chance. Does it work?

Good idea
