Forlix SoBall (2009/03)
This addon for SourceMod on a CS:S server allows you to
offer players to spawn their own soccer balls in any map, just by typing !soccer in the chat.
Maps can be excluded by configuration file (eg. soccer maps).
The balls can be used to kill other players, by shooting a ball at them (knife a ball to "shoot" it).
The frag will be displayed very much like any ordinary frag in CS:S in the top right corner of the screen.
Teamkills will therefore be easily visible and can be punished using a third party tool such as Mani-Admin-Plugin or another SourceMod plugin,
in contrast to this plugins predecessor, where people could teamkill without being exposed.

Soccer ball on de_dust2
|
Detailed features:
- Players gain and lose score points from ball frags/deaths as if it was an ordinary kill by knife or rifle
- While this plugin is running, all prop_physics entities in the map can be used exactly the same as the soccer
balls for killing players, and will yield score points
- Spawning a ball is simple, type "!soccer" in chat, a menu appears, aim at a spot where to spawn the ball,
press 1, and the ball is spawned. A chat message exposing this command is displayed each round start
- Balls per player and round can and should be limited to a reasonable amount using the convars below
(the default values are a very good starting point)
- Ball spawns can be logged to the server log if desired
- A configuration file provides control over on which maps the plugin should be disabled, for example if you are also
running soccer maps on your server (like me), you would want to put them in the file, so that players cannot spawn additional
balls in those maps and disrupt the game. The plugin will completely unload if the current map is listed there, preventing unnecessary server load
- The max. distance balls can be spawned at can be limited
- A spawn protection time can also be specified
- Ball spawning can be denied when aiming at players
- Kill crediting can and should be limited to a few seconds after the shot
- The plugin sets "phys_pushscale" to 900 to make it possible to "shoot" physics objects with the knife.
If you have any maps where you want to exclude the plugin and which are not soccer maps, be sure to add "phys_pushscale 1"
to your server.cfg to ensure the default setting on those maps
- Many soccer maps are already included in the exclusion list within the config file
- Multilanguage support - English and German phrase-files already included
