Construction Strider with working platform on the Groundwatch base

"also strider bones can eat my ass" - HanSolo1519, 2021

Want to look down on the plebeian pedestrians? Feel that walking on the dirty ground is beneath you? Well does my crippling coffee addiction-fueled coding spree have just the thing for you!

Using the black magic that is Hull Designator and mixing it with Groundwatch, the only npc vehicle addon that uses entities and not actual npcs, I've made the platform "functioning", allowing players to hop on and get motion sickness as the strider sways half ways to hell while walking.
Player's hopping on and riding the strider works (relatively) as intended, physics entities occasionally fly off in random directions, especially when the strider is crouched, and attempting to place an npc on the strider is haphazard at best.

-Primary and secondary fire has been replaced with lowering and raising the strider, allowing people on lower/higher buildings to hop on easier.
-The command constrider_swayspeed controls the idle animation speed of the strider, 1 is 100% speed, .5 is 50%, 0 is disabled.

Credits:
TankNut for creating the original Groundwatch addon and giving me permision to edit it.
Super Llama and David Ralphsky for sacrificing their firstborn children to the devil and doing lua voodoo to create the Hull Designator addon, this would not be posible without their work.
jqueary for porting the Construction Strider from HL:A.
Valve for the original model.
Me for mixing stimulants and sleeping meds, then waking up with this abomination.
