Juggler Tank: Jockey Thrower (Vscript)

Description
Here comes a new challenger!! "Juggler Tank: Jockey Thrower"...!!


Yeah, this is another tank variant, a twin brother of "Grenadier Tank". While "Grenadier Tank" throws grenades, this one throws a Jockey.


B: "What...?!"
A: "Yeah, a jockey, hehehehe..."


Different from "Grenadier Tank", this one has a cfg file. I prepared a cfg file for this one so people can adjust their own preferred difficulty level.


List of features available on "juggler tank - jockey thrower.txt" cfg file:
  1. Tank Variant Spawn Chance: The spawn chance of "Juggler Tank". Max value = 100 (100% chance).

  2. Jockey Throw Chance: The chance of the "Juggler Tank"throwing a jockey in every 5 seconds when taking damage. Max value = 100 (100% chance).


Mechanisms of "Juggler Tank - Jockey Thrower":
  • When a tank spawns, depending on "Tank Variant Spawn Chance", he'll be registered as "Juggler Tank". A notification will show up when "Juggle Tank" spawns.

  • This "Juggler Tank" has yellowish skin compared to the normal tank (see the image preview).

  • "Juggler Tank" will start to throw a jockey every 5 seconds when he takes damage while looking at a survivor. The throw chance is controlled by "Jockey Throw Chance" (Examples: If you set "Jockey Throw Chance" to 50, every 5 seconds the "Juggler Tank" has 50% chance to throw a jockey).

  • The thrown jockey is affected by the limit of max special infected (Examples: on "Hard Eight" or any mutations that increase the number of max special infected, tank can throw a jockey regularly every 5 seconds when taking damage. But on normal coop mode when there are already more than 2-3 special spawning, tank won't throw a jockey even if the chance is set to 100% due to it hits the max limit of special infected).

  • Tips for survivors: The farther you stay away from tank, the safer you are. & avoid staying in one place when "Juggler Tank" is chasing you, as he throws a jockey only if he's looking at a survivor when taking damage.

  • Tips for tank: Look at the closest survivor so you can throw a jockey that has higher chance to directly land on survivor's head & ride the survivor.


Now, tank can become scarier with this ability as one of the RNG abilities. Watch out, as some little guys will be thrown at you...


Q: "Does this tank has the same model as the normal tank?"
A: "Unfortunately, yes. For now, the only way to detect whether it's a normal tank or "Juggler Tank" is via spawn notification. I'm still thinking about some alternative methods to make this tank have different effects."


NOTES:
  • Other "Juggler Tank" variants may show up later.
  • The skin color of "Juggler Tank" might be different when this mod is used together with "Super Tanks" mod (whether the skin of this mod will override one on "Super Tank" or vice versa, depending on the position of the mods in Addon Menu), but the "Jockey Throw" ability won't disappear & will be active together with other ability from "Super Tanks" instead (in other words, increased difficulty).

@(^^^) Xeno , what? Did you mean a homing rock? That would make tank even crazier :steamhappy:
(^^^) Xeno 17 Apr @ 2:08pm 
Could you create a tracking rock for the tank?

I beg you to design a tank that can throw cars. Although you may think it's too dangerous at present, there are already others who have been waiting for it for several years.:steamhappy:

@RpgBlaster , it's possible to make a witch get angry the moment she spawns. But for witch, it would be better to give some debuff effects on a survivor when she's startled, like for example, vomit debuff, acid, flame, coma, instant death etc depending on witch variants.

Are Super Witches like the Juggler Tank possible? For example, Witch get more angry overtime if she is not in the visual sight of a Player. Or get angry overtime if she is not stared at.
