RSS[L4D1 & L4D2] Tank HP Sprite [v1.0.1 | 31-January-2021]

[MYGO.pl]

Description

This plugin shows a sprite at the tank head that goes from green to red based on its HP.

The idea was to make something similar to RPGs.

Note: The width size doesn't change, at least I wasn't able to reduce it. (if anyone knows how to do it, with vanilla sprites, I would be grateful to know how to)

Features

• Automatically sets the sprite color (from green to red) in a gradient way.
• Allow setting the Z axis based on the tank position.
• Allow setting the visibility by team.
• Allow setting the survivor visibility based sight and in the last hit on tank.
• Allow setting the sprites model/alpha/scale.
• Allow setting a dead sprite and its color.

Preview



Some inside info

I did this plugin as a private request back in 2019, but "somehow" the code got "leaked".

And I even have found some people trying to sell it.

So I'm sharing an improved version with more features and bugless.

Cvars

A configuration file named "l4d_tank_hp_sprite.cfg" will automatically be created for you upon the first run in the "\cfg\sourcemod\" folder.

Other sprite models

Spoiler

The plugin has a default sprite for both alive and dead tanks.

But if you wanna try some other sprite models, I found this ones that may fit too. (not all models are possible to change the color)

In case you want to check for more sprite models, then you will have to use GCFScape in the pak01_dir.vpk files and extract it from the the materials folder.

Note: You can change the model with:
sm_cvar l4d_tank_hp_alive_model <model>

The plugin will automatically precache the new model and update the tank sprite in the next hit.

HP:

• materials/vgui/healthbar_white.vmt
• materials/vgui/background_survivor.vmt
• materials/vgui/hud/s_healthbar_outline.vmt

• materials/vgui/s_panel_background_glow.vmt

Change Log

Spoiler

- Public release.

Notes

• I use a TraceRay with MASK_SHOT to determine the sprite visibility on sight. This may not work in all cases (e.g. transparent windows).
• The width size doesn't change based on tank HP, at least I wasn't able to reduce it.

Thank you!

• Tonblader - for testing.
