Period Witch (Vscript)

"Have you ever thought about how scary a woman is when she's on her period?"
"You bump into her by accident, you're dead."
"You're simply just saying hi, you're dead."
"You're simply just making a footstep sound by accident, you're dead."
"You're simply just looking at her by accident, you're dead."
"You simply exist & stand still & then she notices you, you're dead."

"Then, what if witch's is on her period?"


Yeah, another crazy mod because I got a random crazy idea when watching some movies about a woman shouting really loud with a scary face because of her period, & the man just stayed speechless like a puppy getting scolded by his master :D . & when playing L4D2 for awhile, I remembered how witch was always angry. & so, the crazy idea just came out.

So, this mod increased witch's extremity to the next level. Normally, it takes few seconds until she's annoyed & chases a survivor. But this mod can make it happen very quickly or even instantly depending on the value set on the cfg file.



List of features available on "period witch.txt" cfg file:
1. period_interval: How long until witch starts to get angry. This bypasses the original anger interval from the game when set lower than the cvars controlling witch's anger interval. The value is in second & can be in decimals/ floats. Min value= 0 (instant anger), max= no limit.

2. banshee_witch: Period's Witch's special skill. When a woman is angry + is on her period, her voice becomes several times louder, so does witch's voice. When it's set to value above 0, the culprit that angers the witch will be thrown backward when she screams. The value affects how strong the knockback force is.

3. period_anger_radius: How far her anger radius is when she starts to growl in anger. Default value is 250. Change this if you want to do some balancing or even make her crazier by widen her anger radius. Min value= 50, max= no limit.

4. saiyan_witch: This was originally the default feature for the wandering witch. When enabled, the wandering witch will be covered in fire when she's angry & then attack a random survivor.



Mechanisms of "Period Witch":
- When a witch spawns, a timer will be set.

- The countdown timer starts to tick once a survivor starts to annoy the witch & makes her growl. The countdown timer follows "period_interval" feature.

- Once the countdown timer reaches 0, the witch will be triggered by a survivor in radius based on "period_anger_radius".

- Some new different traits between sitting & wandering witches:
Sitting Witch
+ Stands up immediately when angry
+ Targets a survivor she notices first when standing up.
+ Tips: Run immediately when she starts to stand.
Wandering Witch
+ (saiyan_witch = 1)
Goes on fire when angry (like super saiyan girl? :D )
+ (saiyan_witch = 0)
Chases a random survivor immediately.
+ Targets a random survivor detected in her anger radius.
+ Tips: Stay away & take different routes if possible.
+ It's already late if she's on fire, so keep running or shooting.

- The "banshee_witch" ignores range. So, even if you shoot the witch from afar, you'll still be thrown backward (imagine it like a witch's curse :D ).



So, now, try not to disturb the crying girl, as she's on her period, ok... :D .


NOTES:
- The value of "banshee_witch" beyond 250 is dangerous. Unless you want the witch to be a "Troll Witch" that can throw a survivor even farther than tank's punch, set this value just below 250.
