Harder Nihilanths (Chases you)

NOTE: The error message in the video when an Alien Grunt spawned was not my fault. I think it's an existing SLV Base or HL:R bug. Let me know in a comment below. I did not modify the NPC's enemy/target on think.

- Creates a separate SNPC called "Hard Nihilanth" inside its own category.
- It is exactly like the HL:R version of the NPC with a few changes
- Has a slightly more evil looking face
- Actually moves to his target
- His fired projectiles have a 60 second lifetime; he will fire across the biggest maps at you
- The damage to his power orbs is halved. Almost twice as hard to kill!
- Does not play the annoying music as a sound effect during lifetime
- Potentially fixed (or at least changed) a state when you are targeted and he floats to your height without turning (now he turns to you in that scenario as well)
- He will only float up/down and/or fly toward the target if it is visible. Otherwise, he flies to its last seen position or selects a new target if needed, as he would before.

- Replace or change the Nihilanths in the HL:R or stock Half-Life: Source NPC menus
- Change the projectiles' behaviors for the aforementioned NPCs
- Change the model or textures of the original Nihilanth. It is a copy of the model hexed.

The addon now automatically adds the content to the server's resource. However, if you wish to have clients auto-download this through workshop instead, add
in some server-sided (sv_) .lua file

- He can get stuck. Maybe use A Star pathfinding included in the SLV Base? Or make him stupidly gain altitude if he hits walls with a visible target?
- Figure out if we should keep the low gravity field and crystal spawning? If we keep the crystals, maybe pathfind him back to his spawn location during his spare time without any targets for safety. The low gravity field is also kind of a cool weapon against you. Let me know what you think.
