Description

This mod recreates the hunter's scrapped ceiling latch ability from some early beta of left 4 dead 1. There is no known footage of the ability itself being used, so the functionality was based off of a video showcasing an old unreleased sourcemod plugin that attempted to remake the same thing.

FEATURES AND CONTROLS

Latch onto any ceiling by pressing your Use key!
You are completely silent while this ability is active
Perform a quick-pounce while on a ceiling by just pressing your Primary Fire key
Cancel your ceiling latch by pressing Secondary Fire
XDR Animation! (Occupies slot 12)
Bot Support!
Custom models and textures are also supported

BOT SUPPORT

Hunters that use the ceiling latch ability will only use it if they're not behind the survivor team, as to not hang around useless places frequently. If nobody shows up within their line of sight for a while, they'll cancel the ability and chase you down (or hang up on another ceiling)

Their reaction times to performing a quick-pounce are also based on difficulty:

Easy: 1.5 seconds
Normal: 0.7 seconds
Advanced: 0.5 seconds
Expert: 0.1 seconds

BUGS

Ceiling Hunters' glow outlines and flashlight shadows show them doing the incorrect pose. Unfortunately this cannot be fixed.
In some rare occasions, you might get stuck when performing a ceiling latch. Try not to hang yourself on some weird places if you're afraid of getting stuck.

CREDITS

Waltz for making the animation and xdr support for this mod.
devlos for assisting me with a few issues regarding VScript.

I Always thought the way they would hang on the ceiling is by just being in a crawling animation but upside down with their head looking downwards or I guess upwards for the Hunter cause it makes no sense how they could hang off the ceiling like the way shown bro isn't Spider-man bro needs to have his hand's on the ceiling gripping it to do such a thing

But no matter this mod is deadass amazing it shows how stupid it was to get rid of it in development cause it seriously makes the Hunter way better imagining being able to crawl on the ceiling as the Hunter well it just makes sense cause I mean bro can easily hang off of Light posts like in the L4D1 intro right before he pounces on Louis

But because of the fact he was holding onto it with his hand's I honestly think he'd probably be in a more crawling position when hanging on the ceiling especially because it would make him more concealed it would make it even scarier imo

It would have been nice if this was by default, because these kind of things that makes SI more unpredictable makes the game more interesting. I have this mod installed and I always get jumpscared. xD
