my guns are laggy when somebody else is hosting with this mod for some reason

can i add you to discuss integration of your vscripts into a project i'm working on for l4d2?
Hero Unit  [author] 21 Aug @ 5:51pm 
Yes I wrote that it is a VScript in the description. This is for playing with friends in a locally hosted lobby. It's assumed if you play with friends you will communicate to them any mods you're running that you think they should be aware of. Even if you don't wish to communicate the mod doesn't penalize you for killing yourself if you still want to do it. It just gives you the option not to do it, that is all.

@Hero
Yes that's EXACTLY what I'm saying (plus your mod wouldn't work in public lobbies anyway due to it being a script)

Are you saying that if you play with randoms they'll heal or kill themselves before the door closes, thus bypassing the mod?

I play with friends. I told them one time "hey I'm running a mod that heals you to 50 on map transition so don't waste your medkit or kill yourself at the end of the chapter anymore okay?" and they instantly understood it and never did it again unless they preserved their medkit to the end of the chapter and wanted to heal to prevent any leftover medkits anyway.

Just communicate with your team. "Hey I'm running an autoheal mod that heals when we close the saferoom door don't waste your medkit or kill yourself". If they still kill themselves it's not your problem, you can still preserve your own resources and life.

I'm not "confused" I'm just aware of what kind of player behavior happens especially on Expert difficulty in public lobbies (or at least during my experiences) medkits on Expert were treated like literal piece of gold since the director never swapped any pills out for one if the team did terrible so anyone B&W never ever would want to waste one the following chapter, all the stuff I mentioned happens BEFORE the door is closed meaning you're still on the previous level so even in theory that your mod is meant to prevent this stuff, it won't due to player behavior doing everything before the door is closed thus before the mod can even activate.
Heck just to paint an example of the kind of player behavior I'm talking about, scenario 4 with Francis B&W, this player asked to be killed in the saferoom so their stuff is saved, moment they got there it would have happened as requested THEN the door would be closed to transition to the next level.

Honestly I get this.
Hero Unit  [author] 21 Aug @ 5:20pm 
You're confused man. My mod doesn't stop you from killing yourself or wasting your medkit. It just gives you the option not to do it. I'll try to give you an example:

>you reach the safe room with 20 hp
>you decide to kill yourself to respawn with 50 hp
You can still do this or:
You can run my mod and instead of killing yourself you can just close the door and your hp will be restore to 50. No need to kill yourself. You can still kill yourself if you want there just isn't a need to do it with this mod.

@Hero
And what's preventing everything I just said BEFORE that transition let alone the door closing? Like the mentioned animation skip for the medkit, that happens only when the door is closed and you were already using the medkit and personal experience, whenever people asked to be killed they did it BEFORE the door was closed so their items would be inside the saferoom when they respawned.
Hero Unit  [author] 21 Aug @ 5:12pm 
It sounds like you got confused on what the mod does. It doesn't stop you from killing yourself. You still can if you wanted to.

The purpose of this mod is to skip doing the things you said. If you enter with less than 50 hp or with incaps you just close the door and on map transition you are healed to 50. It bypasses the need for killing yourself or asking your friends to kill you.
Cursed Hawkins 21 Aug @ 5:00pm 
All this would do is just cause people to resort to killbinds to achieve the same effect... or you can just use the medkit you have on hand (if you had one, which is usually why people murk themselves or even ask their teammates to murk them if they had items they want to carry over to the next chapter so a health pack isn't wasted at the start of the chapter) since the saferoom door will skip the animation while still granting the health.

this is one of best scripts I seen. wish it was real

good

True, but you can offset the inadvertent advantages QoL vscripts give by using additional vscripts to increase the challenge. There's a few I recommend:

Witch kills everyone 1 by 1 when startled
Tank moves faster when set on fire (like L4D1)
Ammo piles are rarer
Various other vscripts to improve the hunter, smoker, etc.

If you add these and others to your game, you have more leeway to add QoL for your survivors without upsetting balance. They're also just very fun vscripts to have.

The usual flaw of the normal way of doing this makes your secondary weapon disappear as it doesn't drop, so this mod could be technically considered an unfair advantage if people choose to stretch it. But mods are mods, so eh.

Love it, and legendary description! :health:

From what I can see, yours stays closer to Vanilla than Manacat's? https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2294680496

The fluffy description deserves a separate reward.

I've never done this, but it's understandable why do poeple do that I guess. I had one funny story with it in L4D1. They said to kill me since I was low in HP, the guy next to me incapped me, and while being down, I incapped him too (the best thing you could ever do in L4D1), then that guy immediately left the game, and we played like nothing happened

thx for that mods i never get tried of carrying my bots:steamthumbsup:
Hero Unit  [author] 4 Aug @ 7:35pm 
I agree, always bothered me when my friends would break the game flow by killing themselves to get their HP back.
[SKG] SethiKinsGaming 4 Aug @ 3:51pm 
Imagine killing yourself for 1 to 49 hit points, couldn't be me.

I don't care if i have 1 hp and gray screen with med kits disabled, my stubborn-ass is going to push on till my PC crashes before I intentionally die for hp and a few revives (that'll inevitably vanish, because expert difficulty.)

Yes it is a VScript, it only works if you local host.
Ænima² 31 Jul @ 5:01am 
No I wanted to kill myself
Zet_Monster 31 Jul @ 4:47am 
I didn't expect the crisis hotline right there, but nonetheless, I am assuming it only works on local servers, right...?

Thank you, no more "save blood, give lives." 😭
