Description
Tank Spawner

I've earlier made a Tank Spawn mod but tbh, it was trash, the spawn of the tank depends on the director and it won't spawn a tank each time.

After this fail i decided to make one that does ACTUALLY spawn a tank 100% each round, and i came up with this one, it spawns a tank 100% each round and it has a small tweak.

The tweak is, it's customizable, with two modes, Once and Repeat, you can choice if you want the tank to keep spawning each X seconds or to spawn only once after X seconds from the start of the round.

Notes:
  • Just like my other adjustable mods, your changes will be automatically saved.
  • If you change the delay or mode mid game, the timer will restart with the delay chosen.
  • The default is: Mode: Once Delay: 120s
  • If it's the finale, no tank will spawn but the vanilla scripted one


UPDATE:
  • Now you can set the delay on "random" for Repeat and Once mode!
  • Added status check command!
  • Added notify features to warn all players when would the next Tank spawn! [ Works only for repeat mode + you can turn it off/on! ]


WARNING:
  • Works on singleplayer and hosted local servers only!

Has a chance to break the first level of the sacrifice, all tanks spawned look like the traincar tank and if a tank was spawned up ahead you wont be able to open the second traincar door, giving you a "exterminate the tank!" popup

Putting it on repeat random is genuinely fun and challenging, its like a lite, diet version of a tank rush game. Feels like if the Tank was just, added into the special infected spawn pool [that would actually be a neat mod idea? as a rare chance or something]

make sure you put the exact commans without any extra spaces etc, copy it from the description if needed.

You are right, your previous mods with Tank and Witch each round dozen work. But now would love to see the randomizer or RNG option. We don't have to set this ourselves, let the game and director do it's thing. If you have to face two or four tanks then get over it. Lucky if only one. :steamhappy:
