Bugs and issues report / Questions / Suggestions
Post it in here and I will try to respond as quickly as possible.

Before you post anything, make sure to read the description of the item.

Bugs, Limitations or Considerations:
  • Death charge event can be bugged in a tiny amount of scenarios, I haven't experimented with it a lot, I could make like a map specific death charge, but I am not really interested.

    But you are welcome to report any issues regarding that.

  • Remember that if the special entity doesn't exist anymore, it will not display the message.

    For example, if you got death-charged by bowling, but the charger entity is no longer there, no detects will be displayed.

    In vanilla gameplay, a dead bot special entity exists for like 7 seconds before it is permanently killed, another spawned entity may take over its index. Except for players, they will always exist until they leave the game.

  • It's technically possible to fully 'level' an AI charger, it is done by hitting the head right after it stops carrying you where it loses its 66% damage reduction. In this case, the charger is not charging since you are forced to be on 'getting up' state, therefore it is not displayed.

  • HSTM Training nerfed the AI charger's health for a full level, that's why it displays chip-leveled instead. Unless the creator decides to change the max health as well which most likely not going to happen.

  • Splash damage from explosive ammo and killing a hunter that is stuck inside a clip brush (worldspawn) counts as skeeting, still have no idea how to fix this. :(

  • Melee-crowning a witch still counts even if you try to take control of another survivor as long as every damage is dealt by you.

  • Triggering a car alarm with the boomer will not display the message if you die while standing on a car alarm.

  • I want to try to make a customizable sentence, but I still have no idea how to make it work properly. Update: After some thinking, I have thought on how to do it, but it's going to be quite difficult to explain and implement.

    You might be better off editing the vpk for yourself, assuming you know how to code.

  • and probably more that I am not aware of.


If you think the events should fire visually but they don't and vice versa, you're most likely using a default lerp on a 30 tick server with a good ping, try adjusting your lerp depending on the server's tick rate and your latency if you want a better experience.

This is meant for vanilla servers with none or a slight modification, if you are running a heavy server filled with a lot of scripts, this may not work properly.


Feel free to suggest condition related settings, I might or might not accept it. :)

I would also appreciate if you report any console errors.

I definitely tested it out in game to make sure it works before updating it, did you get any console errors after using this?

Or try to run modless with only this add-on enabled to see if it works, because there's no way it would crash since I only changed a few lines of code only.
pregunta como podria hacer un scrip haci estoy interesado me gustaria que expilcase eso para crear uno a mi gusto y por cierto buen trabajo hecho nice

could you please make that when we kill the tank or witch, we can see which survivor did how much damage (or %) to the tank.

"xxx ate a tank rock" I'd suggest to write "xxx ate Tank's rock"
also some other messages to replace some "a" with "the" and write si names with big letter
is that possible?

Thanks for suggestion, though I am not sure that will apply it considering every messages are based on the original plugin. maybe someday. (not zonemod though)
