Killable Spitters

Makes GTFO's infection spitters killable.

• Damage them: spitters have a health pool (default 30) drained by any damage — bullets, melee, explosives, or custom weapons — and pop with a full death explosion and gib burst when it runs out. They flash and glow hotter as they take damage.
• C-foam them: a foamed spitter dies after a configurable freeze (default 0.7 seconds). Turn CfoamKillsSpitters off to keep C-foam as a vanilla-style freeze that never kills.
• Synced: deaths are decided by the lobby host and replicated to every player, including late joiners. All players should install the mod; the host's settings decide the behavior.
• Works with ExtraWeaponCustomization: EWC custom projectiles, DoTs, explosions and foam all affect spitters. No config needed; ignored if EWC isn't installed. (Weapon config authors: EWC classifies spitters as object targets, so Triggers restricted to HitEnemy/HitPlayer never match a spitter hit. Use "Trigger": "Hit" for effects that should also apply to spitters.)

Also includes spitter bug fixes:

• Spitters no longer aggro onto AI bot teammates, and lobbies with more than 4 players are handled correctly.
• Mines no longer detonate the moment their laser lines up with a spitter — the beam looks past spitters and still triggers on real enemies behind them.
• Sentries using legacy detection no longer stall target acquisition while a spitter sits in their detection cone.
• Suppresses a hard crash when foaming a spitter while DoorEnemyFixUpdated ≤ 1.1.3 is installed (that mod's glue patch crashes on spitters).

v1.2.0 — September 14, 2026

New

• Host C-Foam settings are now synced to every player, including late joiners
  • The host's CfoamKillsSpitters and SpitterFreezeDuration are replicated to all peers, so foamed spitters behave identically for all players
• SpitterHealth values below 1.0 now log a startup warning (they were already raised to 1.0)

Change

• Fix: If the mod hit an internal error and disabled itself, spitters kept popping on every hit and could never die
• Fix: ExtraWeaponCustomization Foam on multi-hit weapons (shotguns, bursts) foamed the same spitter once per pellet
  • Each pellet sent its own glue packet and played its own foam sound on every player. Now once per spitter per shot
• Fix: ExtraWeaponCustomization Explosive blasts ignored EWC's per-shot falloff, so spitters took full damage at ranges where enemies took reduced damage
• Fix: The spitter health-glow sync was sent per hit on the game's reliable-ordered channel
  • Under sustained fire it could delay damage reports and death sync behind purely cosmetic packets. It now uses the non-critical channel
• Fix: A rare IL2CPP garbage-collection race while hiding a dying spitter's model could permanently disable the mod for the session
• The DoorEnemyFixUpdated ≤ 1.1.3 crash workaround now only arms itself when another mod actually patches GlueGunProjectile.CollisionCheck
  • Without one, unexpected errors are surfaced instead of silently hidden. When the workaround cannot identify what the glue hit, it now logs the full exception at error level
  • A "no other patch present" answer is re-checked on the next error, so a mod that patches CollisionCheck lazily is never missed
• The glue dead-guard moved from InfectionSpitter.OnIncomingGlue (a one-line forwarder, an identical-code-folding hazard) to DoGetGlued
• Dependency: AmorLib pin bumped from 1.2.2 to 1.2.7
  • The plugin now declares a minimum AmorLib version of 1.2.2
• The built DLL's assembly version now matches the mod version (was 1.0.0.0)

v1.1.0 — July 29, 2026

New

• ExtraWeaponCustomization (EWC) compatibility. Custom weapons can now hurt spitters
  • EWC custom Projectiles and DamageOverTime ticks no longer treat spitters as already dead
  • EWC Explosive blasts now damage spitters in radius
  • EWC Foam now foams spitters like the base game C-Foam Launcher

Change

• Fix: Hard crash when foaming spitters (C-Foam Launcher / glue mines) while DoorEnemyFixUpdated ≤ 1.1.3 is installed
  • Fix NullReferenceException crash so C-Foam and glue mines keep working; the underlying bug should still be fixed upstream in DoorEnemyFixUpdated.
• Fix: Sentries using legacy detection could stop acquiring targets while a spitter was in their detection cone

New

  • Defaults are for C-Foam to kill spitters with a freeze duration of 0.7s

Change

• Fix: Mines do not trigger when aimed at spitters
