Patch has spoilt my fun in offline single player :(

[Zombie Ade]

For practice as infected ( and laffs ) I used to start a vs map and turn cheats on, use all survivors as bots and spawn myself as infected to wreak havoc.

Now, when I spawn - hunter wont crouch ( think this has been mentioned somewhere else ), but worst of all, the tank seems to have NO health bar , and can be killed by a single burst of the uzi. I managed to spawn an AI tank, that seemed to last longer and have proper health, but if you`re in control of it , you can kiss your bulky ass goodbye in about a second!

I wish they would integrate a `proper` offline vs so you can play against bot survivors.

I noticed this last night as well while testing out a hunter jump map.

Not sure what the solution is yet... :\

Supposedly the bugs occur when you use z_spawn and do not occur if you use the usual spawning method.

I know how to fix this, Use Z_Spawn (Special Infected Here)
Then as you spawn, type: Give health
and you have your HUD and Health that it needs!

Hooray! I saved the day! :D

Hooray! I saved the day! :D

You certainly did! Off to try it now. Thanks

I`d still like to see some way of playing infected offline just for fun and practise.

Listen to me, we just had an update and I`m demanding more fixes/features already!

A year down the line , I think L4D will be what it should have been from day of release. I cant believe some of Valves playtesters missed all the bugs/exploits that the community have found.

Does this also work for the hunter ?
or only tank ?

How about hunter crouch? How do you get the feature back for offline practice of that specinf.

They should get playtesters that like to jump more.

Also I wouldn't mind some "extras" mode for practicing with infected. Since the bots are clearly capable of making it on there own to safe room door. (If you stand around and then die they bolt in the direction of the safe room) The only problem being they can't close the door and the bot survivors are highly efficent. They also can't use miniguns and start crenscendos. But like I said, just an extra mode. Oh and have special infected spawn too for obvious reasons.

With "give health" that functions again.

Bot survivors also cant do stuff like press buttons ( eg lift in no mercy ) so they end up getting stuck at crescendo points. I normally switch sides then press the button and switch back again!

Works for every Special Infected
