Improved Witch AI (Hopeless)

Manacat's Witch mod, but with some differences and changes to my liking.

The main difference between this version, the Deadlier and Crazed version is that when another survivor shoots a Witch that is mauling an incapacitated survivor, she will get re-startled and go after them. If a survivor wants to damage her to save their teammate, they might wanna walk away from her and then shoot, although that risks her catching them and wasting 2 or more of the team's medkits. She is also less likely to be re-startled when shot while climbing or or looking around in the pre-retreat animation.

Besides that, the other changes are the same as the 2 other versions:

It lowers the "passing by" swipe attack radius from 70 to 45 (my own attack range for my Witch). Damage wise, her attacks now do 25 instead of 10 if a survivor that isn't her target is in her way when she attacks. When retreating, she does 50 instead of 20.

The Witch pushes survivors away while climbing everything, not just ladders. She can also push survivors when jumping across gaps, when a Wandering Witch is screaming (to prevent the cheap melee tactic of jumping behind her), when mauling incapacitated survivors, and when playing the pre-retreat animation.

She now takes 1 hit to open the saferoom door instead of 3, and will break normal doors in 1 hit as well if realism mode or the Witch's instakill mechanic is activated.

The Witch instantly re-aggro's after killing a survivor with !witch kill. She no longer waits a second or two (looks around while retreating) before getting re-startled, making her more dangerous and responsive.

After killing a survivor with !witch kill, she can now go after incapacitated survivors. In the original mod she ignores incapacitated survivors and went for the nearest standing survivor.

Note: This mod's restartle feature doesn't work with this one.

This mod is unlisted as this isn't my work. I just edited a few values in Manacat's "Improved Witch AI" code to make her more deadly and responsive to my liking. I will make it public if Manacat is fine with it.
