buddha

buddha is a console command available in all Source games. It ensures you never die by always forcing you to have at least 1 health point.

To enable and disable, type buddha in the console. If it worked, it should say "Buddha Mode on/off..." in the console.

Bug:If the player has X HP and gets dealt any damage between (X-0.001) and (X-0.500), they will die. Health is stored as an integer, and damage as a float. The game rounds damage taken to the nearest integer prior and subtracts it from the player's health value, which can bypass the 1 health point barrier.  [todo tested in?]

Note:In Left 4 Dead 2 it's a cvar and the number it's set to represents amount of survivors that must remain standing (non-incapacitated). So for example with buddha 1, last survivor standing will get the buddha, buddha 2 = last 2 survivors standing will have buddha effect etc.
