Old-School Upgrades

Description
A recreation of the E3 upgrade functionality, applies to the incendiary and explosive ammo.
Forces packs to be pre-deployed, infinite, cause weapon reloads and they're not limited to one use per survivor.

Not the script created for the Left 4 Dead 2 Beta Pack, though I suggest taking a look at it as it has a more accurate implementation!

Is there a way to have them be predeployed but *not* infinite?

@Jugger just removing the receive_upgrade hook should work for that

If i wanted to only maintain the infinite part of the script, for personal use, what should i exclude?

there are several addons that add that third hit back and others that make the melee use the droppable item slot

i *may* make a system for tying specific swings to holding the walk key which could be used with those swings but i'm not making a droppable melee script

will there ever be a solo version of the e3 / comic con melee mechanics? (work like a pickup and have a scrapped third hit that would deal more damage to a special infected), rise made one years ago but i doubt it works anymore.

Genuinely super fun to play with this added, find me and my bots actually playing a bit differently with this. Instead of having the pack for safe keeping, I have to keep my ammo spared for anything, like a special or a Tank. It's really fun to have and it's an shame it wasn't kept like this on a few maps.
Would we be seeing any possible release of the E3 Survivors used in the L4D2 Beta Pack as they have the L4D1 rigs ported over to the L4D2 viewmodels unlike Theuaredead's?

It's really fun to use the Upgrades like this! Played today with my friends and finding one Upgrade can be really important for strategy! Like risking going back to a place to holdout for a horde more easily near a Upgrade!

Doesn't feel overwhelming since they're kinda rare, but on Swamp Fever there's a insane amount of them! That's not because of the mod obviously, it's just odd balance of the Campaign

i'm personally only releasing the charger from the beta pack, this specific script isn't from the beta pack as the pack uses a completely different and less accurate method

if the pack leader, Gigan, suggests releasing anything else as a standalone thing then i'll probably do so
