I've been doing some thinking about anti camping and I would like your opinions on this matter. How should a camper be punished for camping?
The current system simply kills the camper, but that has an obvious problem. While it may not happen all the time, it is possible for a camper to be killed by the server right as he is surrounded by zombies, essentially letting him get away.
An alternative method I thought up would be to decrease the amount of damage the camper does. This essentially increases the chances of zombies killing the camper without the server killing him outright.
Please respond with which method you think is better. If you have your own idea on how to punish campers, feel free to post it as well.
E: When stats tracking is implemented, I plan on rewarding players with points for moving as an added incentive against camping. |

I like the decreased damage method, but it sounds like the person might freak out, lol |

What I normally do is kill them once using sv_changeteam twice, blue then red, and if they do it again in the same game, I kill them and leave them blue. Seems very effective.

Interesting idea. I like the sound of decreased damage, but could you make it so that the damage increases if you start moving again?
I always found the death thing quite annoying, because it kept happening when I wasn't actually trying to camp. Would it tell you "Please stop camping" as before, or will the subject just slowly realise their bullets are turning to rubber?
I don't think they should be any slower - zombies are fast enough, and I wouldn't want to further the speed difference.
My brain is open.

Thanks for your replies guys. Here is what I have decided upon:
1. Every 10 seconds you camp you will be warned to stop camping and your damage multiplier will be cut in half. This stacks, meaning on the second warning you do 1/4 damage (1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4) and so on.
2. If you move, your damage multiplier will be reset to 1.
3. Every 10 seconds you move you gain 1 point/credit for your server score.
4. Player speed will not be decreased as it will make it harder for a player who is currently camping to stop camping.
5. Camping will not be allowed except for the last man or if you are in the hill for Safe Havens. |

1 flaw that i see with that. unless you make it so that they have to move a certain amount of spaces then they could just move a tiny bit and it would reset

Well for the started zombie all i'm gonna say is trust me it sucks if they all camp and you have a hard time getting to them... especially if they are more of a newer person to zombies... |
