Special Infected Synchronization (Sync Only)

In 1 collection by Taut
Special Infected Synchronization Bundle

Description
This add-on will allow special infected to attack all at once. Unlike my deprecated mutation named "Concerted Contagion", this one will work with any game mode either in single player or on a local server.

What this add-on does is allow the special infected to respawn based on a set timer since the last special infected was killed. Once the time is up, all special infected will be able to spawn and attack at the same time. Unlike the Versus version, only the special infected's spawn rate has been modified, so their behavior will function similarly to Campaign mode.

Overall, this add-on will entice the survivors to be a bit more cautious when dealing with the special infected while giving them more breathing room.

Additional Information
If you want to change the settings of this add-on and/or know what each of the available options do, see this thread.

If you'd like to use a different version of the add-on, they can be found in the Special Infected Synchronization Bundle.

@Wenda Here are the differences of the Special Infected Synchronization add-ons:

- The `Only Sync` add-on simply allows the special infected to attack together without modifying anything else.
- The `AI+` add-on allows the special infected to attack together and modifies the command variables so the special infected can attack more efficiently.
- The `Competitive` add-on allows the special infected to attack together, modifies the command variables, and adds a lot of options to make the gameplay feel more like Versus.

@Kaiser Adradum You can manually set the respawn interval for special infected by opening the `settings.txt` file in the `./ems/sisync-onlysync/` directory and setting the `OverrideRespawnInterval` option to `true` and lowering the `RespawnIntervalMin` and `RespawnIntervalMax` options to `30`.

In this version, there are fewer special infected. Could you make a version where they appear every 30 seconds? It seems like they take too long to show up.

@Gumbs I would say the `Only Sync` version of the `Special Infected Synchronization` add-on has the fewest and least noticeable bugs as it only aims to synchronize special infected spawns without adding any extra options and features to the settings located in the `./ems/sisync-onlysync/` directory.

Which of the three types of the mod has the fewest and least noticeable bugs?
Taut  [author] Jul 2, 2024 @ 9:28pm 
@Xeno :] I don't really see any benefit to modifying the special infected limit in the `Sync Only` version as this add-on was only meant to spawn the special infected together without changing too much of the gameplay. If you'd like to change the special infected limit, I recommend using the `Competitive` version as that add-on has the `MaxSpecials` option set to `4` by default.

Add a toggle to enable 4 SI sync I'm so used to the previous version :/
