CounterstrikeSharp - Cheater Troll

Tired of cheaters ruining your server? This plugin turns the tables by making their lives miserable with clever server-side tricks. It's inspired by the golden days of my community-driven Counter-Strike:Source server, where admin justice came with a side of entertainment. Whenever a cheater was spotted (wallhacking, spinbots, suspiciously perfect headshots), a little chaos was unleashed on their side only. They'd eventually rage quit or confess, and everyone else had a laugh.

Special thanks to ScriptKid from whom I got the idea years ago initially. You did something really funny and back then that made me laugh so hard. Now, I've brought this concept into CS2!

Best part? It works out of the box with zero configuration needed. But if you want to fine-tune the chaos, all settings are fully customizable.

Current Features

• Announce Position — Cheater announces his position in the chat
• Crouch Jump — Pushed back when crouching mid-air to make crouch-jumps harder
• Damage Control - Cheater is dealing less damage than normal
• Door Gate — Doors lock shut automatically and are not easy to open
• Grenade Backfire — Grenades damage the cheater
• Heavy Knife — Short time slower movement when equipping knife
• Impossible Bomb Plant — Bomb plants fail silently
• Invisible Enemies — Do not transfer enemy player data to the cheater (where there is no data, there is no ability for a wallhack)
• Player Glow — Everybody gets a wallhack to see the cheater
• Random Sounds — Plays random weapon and grenade sounds every now and then
• Visible On Radar — Always visible on minimap

Quick Tutorial

The cheater command is an interactive menu system to enable cheater punishments for individual players. You can run it from either the server console or client console:

1. Type cheater (without arguments) to list all players on the server, for actions simply prepend the command with the player index / value to change (e.g., cheater 1)
2. Choose a player by typing the menu number next to their name
3. Toggle features on/off using the numbers shown in the submenu
4. Configure settings like distance limits or modes for each enabled feature
5. Return to previous menu by selecting cheater 0 (Back)
