Rant over. TL;DR - Source Engine is frustrating to use sometimes

Wanna change max amount of Jockeys with 'survival_max_jockeys'? Too bad, bud, you instead changed max amount of Chargers. And as for the 'survival_max_chargers' - it seems like it has literally no effect on anything. Same for like 20 other cvars I messed around with.

Script that clearly sets the max amount of Spitters and Jockeys to 10 and 5 respectively.

The previously set limits of 10 and 5 being instead applied to Jockeys and Chargers, in that order - note the (X max) text next to special infected classnames

And now imagine my surprise when I found out that a cvar named 'survival_max_spitter' doesnt actually change max amount of Spitters. Nope. It instead changes the amount of Jockeys, despite what the name clearly suggest. How? God fuckin knows how.

So what you instead can (or rather are force to) do is directly change the console variables, which is what DirectorOptions do for the most part. Sounds like an easy workaround, eh? Well, not so fast. Survival gamemode has dedicated console variables to influence how Special Infected are spawned

And apparently this whole system meant to influence the AI Director... just doesnt work on Survival gamemode. The script is clearly running, but whatever was put inside that array is just ignored.

If someone ever told you Source Engine is held together by ducttape, they weren't lying. In L4D2, most maps have a script that contains an array of DirectorOptions - basically a script that modifies the game's AI Director behaviour, what it should do, what shouldn't etc.

I have a love-hate relationship with VScript. On one hand, it's so much more convenient and better than Hammer's IO system. On the other hand, almost no tutorials on more advanced concepts, lacking documentation and terrible debugging experience my god.

Sagiritarius @sagiritarius.bsky.social · Aug 16

Feelin like a caveman, banging two rocks together, as I'm forced to use Squirell scripting language in VSCode WITHOUT any typo highlighters, any IntelliSense, holding the documentation in my other hand like a bigass phonebook and no working debugger other than assaulting the code with million prints
