Survivor's Item Swap and Drop

Description
As described on the title, this simple mod only has 2 main features, "Item Swap" & "Item Drop". These two feature are probably vital features, but unfortunately until now L4D2 never adds such features.

So, with this mod, you can freely swap items with other survivors & even drop your own items. There are 3 available features in the cfg file "survivor item swap and drop.txt":
- Weapon Swap By Shoving: Press TAB + SHOVE buttons to swap item in your hands with other survivor's items (Special Case= To swap pills, press TAB + FIRE) buttons when looking at a survivor instead (because shove button is disabled when carrying pills while other survivor has adrenaline shot).
- Insult When Shoved: Sub toggle of Weapon Swap By Shoving. Shoved survivor will complain/ insult you via talker when you swap item.
- Survivor Item Drop: Press TAB + USE + SHOVE buttons to drop your item in hands.

With this mod, you don't need to worry anymore if bots pick awp/ scout & refuse to switch better snipers or T2 weapons. Just swap their weapons, & ignore their complaints/ insults.

Notes:
- A known bug: You can't swap item near supplies/ item spawn spots, because the items will return to the item spawn spots instead.
- Value no. 2 of "Weapon Swap By Shoving" works on survivor players too. Use this value only if you play with friends or trusted teammate, to prevent your items from being "stolen" by other survivor players.

@Pikachu_025 , you can disable "Insult When Shoved" to remove all the complaints.

Mod works great, but by any chance, do you think you can remove the complaining part for the weapon giving/swapping, its no big deal, just i personally wouldnt wanna hear complaining when im helping them

@Clyde Anderson , I'm not sure of what's more to update, as there's only a minor bug left, like sometimes you can get some bonus items on the ground on the next round/ chapter.

@kurochama Nah, that was fixed together, tho I thought I talked about this before and you knew about that.

Also, I think there's one last bug, besides that pistol deagle bug one.

Is trying to find a way to fix the duplicated item that appears after completing a part of the chapter after swapping anything with others.

@Edgyiel™ , I see... I thought it was a new bug so I immediately checked it.

@kurochama This bug didn't happen because this has been fixed a long time thanks to you.
They are no longer a threat for trolling or making the game more easier.

And no, I don't have other addons scripts that could cause conflict or some sort.

@Edgyiel™ , I finished checking the swap process between same weapon, & that bug you mentioned didn't happen. Here's the demo file if you want to see it: Swap Same Weapons [drive.google.com]
Probably there's one or some of your mods that triggered the vanished weapon bug on your play.

@Edgyiel™ , wait, is it even possible to swap same weapon? I think I set a rule on the scripts that only different weapons can be swapped. I think I need to check it myself soon.

& for removal of dropped item, lately I have an alternative solution in mind, like removing any dropped items in 30-60 seconds after they're dropped. But this might also affect the item drop feature by "TAB + E + SHOVE" buttons, because items dropped by this feature are also registered as dropped items by the L4D2 system. & this will also disable "Item Juggling" trick that's usually used on finale to move items to camping spots other than ones near radio/ designated camping spots by the map.

@kurochama

If you swap someone's AK with your AK, their AK will be gone, untill they find a new primary to use. THAT is the major threat of trolling.
