It does help with the Jockey, but not nearly as much as slowing things down.

SetFriction(friction) and OverrideFriction(duration,friction), I thought these were documented, but now I can't find it for the life of me. Maybe I dreamt it :\

IsSurvivor() works, though in coop, or without a teamswitch, GetZombieType() == 9 works as well. In fact, I've never used IsSurvivor() before today, instead, relying on the type as it always worked.

It's not that big a deal as there is a work around, but ideally, I'd like to see it fixed. If it's going to return something, should be consistent. Also, now you have to check class, team, then type, where if it's consistent, just classname and switch off of that.

SI Plus is (at the moment anyway), a small variation on game play based on some stuff I've seen on the forums.

Right now, this is what it currently does.
Smoker's cloud causes damage, allowing him to block survivors.
Getting Boomed slows you down.
Sticky Spit - ie, slows you down. Can be devastating.
Jockeys can move you faster.

I've got a few other tweaks in mind. One, I'd really like to add, but without event support, I think will be tricky to get reliable. As the hunter, I'd like you to be able to hang instead of double pouncing, . Ideally, there would be an event fired when the hunter is able to double pounce, or when he is. Then it would be as simple as setting his velocity and gravity to 0, and when releasing, setting the velocity.

Update 2013.4.13
Tanks startle all zombies in their radius to attack random survivor
Startling a witch, will cause all zombies in radius of witch to attack startler
Special Infected can control zombies to attack a random player by striking

If you switch teams, you'll stay as whatever infected you were instead of "9" when you switch to the survivors.

This affects versus and versus based mutations.
Easily reproduced by switching to the survivor team and issuing
ent_fire !yourname runscriptcode "printl(self.GetZombieType())"

Thank you sir!

Working on a new mutation for coop and versus and I'm flummoxed. I have the base set to "versus" in the mode file, But when I try to run it from the prompt with sb_all_bot_team, its broken.

It LOOKS like versus. The team scores are there, but if I try and switch teams, nothing happens, and when I make it to the saferoom, it doesn't switch teams, it just advances to the next map and the "Enemy Team" has a score of zero.

As far as the trigger, fixed that, I was overthinking it. OverrideFriction does nicely, though GetFriction seems broken on players. SetFriction is not.

Are GetScoreboardFilename and BotQuery non-functional? I've tried them both and they don't seem to work at all.

I see how BotQuery is supposed to be used, at least in holdout, but seems like mine is never called. I also see that they are still in server.dll

As far as triggers, I'm trying to slowdown the survivors when taking certain types of damage, I wanted to use trigger_player_movement, but it's not supported. Looking through the dll, it seems only trigger_hurt, trigger_multiple, trigger_once, trigger_push are.

Any suggestions for a workaround or how I could get a similar effect?

Since I'm running it through mutations, I decided to add a camera intro mode.

It's chat controlled. Simply run your map as a mutation...
mapname vscript2cam

Set your noclip speeds convars accordingly, and go to position.

Then it's as simple as chatting the following
smd setplayercam
smd name myanim
smd record
Fly around (or walk, whatever) through your scene. When you're happy...

smd stoprecord
The logic_script and a camera are created automagically so you can playback the intro you've just recorded.
smd play

If you like it...
smd save
Now you have an anim saved to your drive and the qc snippet for compiling your intro cam. All you'll need to do is put it in the map at the origin it tells you to once it's compiled.

I may add an editing capacity. So first you record the basic movement, then you can play it back, and just rerecord the viewangles, then maybe modulate up/down, then roll, instead of trying to get all these movements in one take
