Description:
1. Automatically generate extra witches on the gameplay map.
2. Witches are spawned randomly within a specified time frame, defined by minimum and maximum intervals in seconds.
3. The number of witches present on the map and the count of those alive at any given moment can have certain limits applied.
4. You can set a minimum distance from the survivors; witches located beyond this distance will be removed.
5. The respawning of witches can be halted when the final events begin (the call for rescue transport).
6. You can adjust the ratio between the regular witches and the wedding-themed ones (Only L4D2).
7. The presence of director-controlled witches can be toggled on or off.

Config:
Edit cvars in the automatically generated l4d_wispaco.cfg at the cfg/sourcemod directory.

l4d_wispaco_enable (default "1") - Enable or disable the plugin.

Ah so, you can set when a witch is spawned on a map, so round starts, 2 minutes later, a witch spawns, 3 minutes later a witch spawns and so on?

[Ja-Forces]

yep, in config possible to expose minimum and maximum time spawn.

[Silvers]

Sounds good, can't wait to see what people say when witch after witch spawn!

Crash on the passing, you need add precache for the witch
thanks for this plugin.

[Ja-Forces]

support for l4d2 will be later, maybe.

It's work on L4D2, just need to add precache.
I have this error too, sometime :

[SM] Plugin "Witches.smx" encountered error 23: Native detected error
[SM] Invalid timer handle 650806c8 (error 3) during timer end, displayed function is timer callback, not the stack trace
[SM] Unable to call function "SpawnAWitch" due to above error(s).

[Ja-Forces]

tnx, Skorpion1976. When we will finish ideas under the l4d and all will accurately work. Have patience, programmers are people too ;)

If I use this with l4d2 witch precache I dont get any errors or crashes in the passing...

but witches seem to spawn too fast after each other?
