[L4D2] Spitter Dies After Spit (SDAS)

[MYGO.pl]

About

This plugin is based on another plugin, "Spitter Auto Kill" by diorfo,
but I've identified that some things could be improved, so I'm releasing this one.

Goal

The aim of this plugin is to improve the rotation of the special infected (SI), in this case, the Spitter.

This plugin is most useful on versus servers but can be used in cooperative game modes as well,
since most of the time, the Spitter AI is useless until it's spit is reloaded, which takes time.

On servers that have a spawn limit on the number of simultaneous SI,
a player who holds the Spitter for a long time is a disruption because other players cannot spawn as Spitter and move on to the next strategy. (e.g.: Combo => Charger + Spitter).

Some servers the time it takes to reload the spit does not compensate (for balancing reasons),
so it becomes more advantageous to release the Spitter to another person on the same team.

This way the player will not be able to hold the Spitter for a long time after spitting.

Cvars

A configuration file called "l4d2_sdas.cfg" will be automatically created for you upon first run, in "/cfg/sourcemod/" folder.
