I kinda like the derpy charger tbh.

why is the charger so slow?

Cool but charger now hits walls very often, which gives away is location

Interesting mod, makes the Charger much more annoying and tougher to fight, which I like. However, playing "Fairfield Terror", I did notice the Charger sometimes charged into walls despite not being into direct line of sight with survivors.

nice

- Potentially fixed "U" turning charger.
- Optimized Code
- Reduced Predicted charge kicking by 15% from 75% to 60%.

@devlos r u gonna fix it?
devlos  [author] Oct 15, 2023 @ 1:56am 
Uuuuh , ill take a look at it today and see if i can fix it. Im a very lazy person.
tom Oct 2, 2023 @ 10:42pm 
will you ever fix/update this mod?
ChapCanai Aug 28, 2023 @ 5:49am 
The charger can sometimes U-turn 180 degrees sharply. Intentional?
K Jul 21, 2023 @ 4:00pm 
If you plan on making an update to remove the turning is it possible to make it optional, because I really like it.

There is a window that Hunter can break, but it's too unnatural to go to the door and break it out. I would like the Hunter to jump towards the window and make it an ai that comes out while destroying it with an attack.

I don't mind the bug I think its funny he'll sometimes rotate true rng mechanics haha

🔽 i thought it was me going crazy

This mod is sick! One bug that I would like to report is the charger will sometimes turn while charging to hit a survivor. It seems to happen sometimes when the charger barely misses its target and then seems to just make a 180 turn while charging and then hit who it just missed.
게영남 Jun 18, 2023 @ 8:10pm 
Being able to modify the ai like this means that when you throw boomer juice at a special zombie, can you program it to counterattack when normal zombies attack?
게영남 Jun 18, 2023 @ 8:08pm 
It's really great. I'm so happy that the game has become more realistic thanks to it.
Khronic Jun 17, 2023 @ 1:32pm 
Now the charger is a true pro gamer
devlos  [author] Jun 17, 2023 @ 1:12pm 
Update is out :)
tom Jun 16, 2023 @ 11:09pm 
@devlos looks great, wait for the new update for this mod

God tier Charger

Just a update , im working on a full rework using this as a base for the charger. (So this mod won't only include preventing bad charges anymore)

Upcoming changes.

- Instant charge in melee distance , when available.
- Unable to confuse the charger anymore by jumping and putting him in retreat mode
- Bug fixing and improvements on checking visibility and he's angle checks , he won't be stuck anymore on he's charge input unless still in very rare cases.
- charger will predict the players position when doing a charge.
- charger will now charge you off deadly edges when he has a opportunity to do so
- new targetting system , will attack the closest survivor based on multiple states the survivor is in.

@Roiditron77 ai stagger fix prevents si like hunter from scratching you even while you are shoving them, it doesnt have anything to do with the charger anyway
R󠀡F Jun 13, 2023 @ 1:50pm 
@RICH Not a glitch, its intentional but there is one director variable that allows witches in saferooms.

RICH Jun 13, 2023 @ 10:55am 
This has always bothered, and it's about the witch.

If you startle her, run into the saferoom, and she will be confused and run away. You don't even have to close the door. Idk if Valve ever bothered to add nav for her to go into the saferoom or what, but it makes her all the less threatening.

It would be nice to see this glitch(?) fixed.

I like this. it makes him more threatening. May i ask does this also fix the issue where the charger refuses to charge if you happen to jump near him? you know the jump melee strat to confuse the AI and just bully him to death
(^^^) Xeno Jun 12, 2023 @ 11:50pm 
The tank does the same if he's crawling to the wall and he'll repeat that till he gets stuck :l
chabababooey Jun 12, 2023 @ 6:43pm 
is there more mods for other special infected? i really like the idea of fixing wierd quirks of the special infected
JackRabbit™ Jun 12, 2023 @ 6:08pm 
Cool idea but I kind of like the immersion of derpy chargers. They're meant to be zombies, I doubt they're going to do much thinking when it comes to charging. But it's a cool mod regardless. :)
Corøna Jun 12, 2023 @ 5:59pm 
Great mod! I wanted to ask you if I could use it in the addon I'm working on. Of course, credits would be given. Add me if you want more info. :TreepileHeart:
JSWolfox Jun 12, 2023 @ 2:48pm 
The charger knows where he is charging at all times. He knows this because he knows where he is not charging.
Macarong Jun 12, 2023 @ 9:03am 
can you make a plugin like this?
devlos  [author] Jun 12, 2023 @ 6:01am 
had a little problem with getting the functions to work inside the chargers scope , when injected into the directors scope.

Luckily this has been fixed , have fun! Im also looking into simply adding a variable to check retries in the chargers scope to disable the scripts functionality for a small period off time when he has been trying to charge X amount off times in a row (So he won't be stuck trying to charge the same angle over and over).
Roiditron77 Jun 12, 2023 @ 4:29am 
@guert that mod isn't a fix, it's intended that charger was never shovable due to his massive size and muscles

Also, Sweet! no more charger trying to ram us when he's a floor below us!
tom Jun 12, 2023 @ 3:04am 
good job :)
Cletus™ Jun 11, 2023 @ 9:07pm 
as funny as it still is to watch the charger fail and hit a wall, this is a welcomed fix
Zaden Jun 11, 2023 @ 5:42pm 
Very nice! :D
NO MORE CHARGER FAILS!
K Jun 11, 2023 @ 4:34pm 
No more seeing the charger face me and then try to charge so fast he literally turns the opposite direction!
guert Jun 11, 2023 @ 1:34pm 
this and the ai stagger fix are must have mods imo
devlos  [author] Jun 11, 2023 @ 9:55am 
@RF , Forgot about that :d it won't work either way since the LookAtPlayer netprop would return null for a player so he won't have a target. I updated it and added the check :)
R󠀡F Jun 11, 2023 @ 9:22am 
I don't see any IsPlayerABot checks so this would affect human chargers too?
Lebo Jun 11, 2023 @ 8:42am 
thank goodness
Shadowysn Jun 11, 2023 @ 7:12am 
brings some finally needed balance after the charger keeps getting too many free copies of Oblivion
