Eleven Eighty Seven SNPCs Burster Zombie Babycrab Spawn Fix

This mod fixes an issue with the Burster Zombie SNPC in the Eleven Eighty Seven SNPCs pack by "Overwatch we have free parasites". Specifically it changes the spawn of Babycrabs when the Burster Zombie dies so that the Babycrabs no longer frequently get stuck in place until enough have been killed. This seems to happen because the Babycrabs normally have their hitboxes stuck inside of each other since they spawn too close together, and in too great numbers, for them to be able to move originally.

I reduced the spawn to two, one on the left and one on the right, with the one in front, back and middle being removed. References to an unused sixth Babycrab were also removed from the code to further clean it up while I was at it. After extensive testing I have found that the Babycrabs no longer get stuck after the Burster Zombie is killed.

This mod, naturally, requires the Eleven Eighty Seven SNPCs pack to function.

I played 1187 back when it came out in late 2010 and enjoyed it, and I thought the Burster Zombie was very creepy and fitting for Half-Life's universe, so I was happy to see it return in GMod, so I wanted to change it be more consistent, even if it isn't a perfect fix, I do think it's better to lose some of the spawning Babycrabs than for them to usually be unable to move.

This mod does NOT include the Burster Zombie SNPC or any other content from the Eleven Eighty Seven SNPC pack in it aside from the file containing the changed code.

If Overwatch we have free parasites or Valve wishes for me to take this fix down, I will act in compliance with all terms of service. But to my knowledge, this fix does not violate any of the terms of service, as it is a fix for their mod and not a case of stolen code used in a different pack or claiming the code as my own for any reason. In otherwords, this mod and its code are useless without Overwatch we have free parasites' original mod. Please give them and their mod all the support you can.
