DoD:S Deployable Mortar

Overview

DoD:S Deployable Mortar is a SourceMod plugin for Day of Defeat: Source that allows players to deploy and operate portable mortars.

Features

• Menu-based controls to deploy, remove, fire, rotate, and adjust mortar range
• Team-specific models - Allied and Axis players get different mortars
• Range displayed in metres (20m - 200m, in 10m steps)
• Persistent green smoke and a smoke grenade model mark exactly where the shell will land
• Fire is restricted near objectives, bomb points, spawn areas and off the map, and the menu shows which one is blocking
• Bomb plant points stop being restricted once the bomb has already been detonated
• Mortars have health and can be destroyed by enemy fire, spawning gibs on destruction
• Mortar is destroyed after a configurable number of shots
• Mortar persists when the owner dies but is removed if they change team or go to spectator
• All menu controls disabled when dead and during reload cooldown, re-enabled automatically
• Menus close on round win and map end
• Welcome message on join letting players know the mortar is available
• Chat notifications for kills with team colours
• HLStatsX support for kills and mortar destructions
• Optional admin-only debug beam to visualise where the plugin has detected the target ground
