[VScript] Smoker Poison Damage

Description
Recreates and gives back to the Smoker his scrapped poison damage ability from 2007 Left 4 Dead 1.

The poison damage is an amount of your victim's health that is turned into temporary when you begin choking them. The amount of poison damage is based on distance. Grabbing a survivor extremely close will deal the bare minimum of 5 poison damage, while grabbing them from really far will deal the maximum of 29 poison damage. If your victim's permanent health is too low, there will be no poison damage. A chat message will show the amount of poison damage you dealt.

This ability can be officially seen in the "Left 4 Dead - Subway Romp" beta gameplay video.

This script works only in Local Servers/Singleplayer. Both Bot and Human Smokers have this ability.

does anyone know if there is a mod that sends txt chat notifications for when something like friendly fire or a player death occurs? can be seen in the utube preview video above

I really like this mod, but it does seem a little too strong, especially if the angle of the pull makes the survivor gets strangled twice (caught on object slightly then fully grabbed by smoker). Maybe cap the damage at 10? I also think there might be a bug with instant incap from the poison damage but I only experienced that once.

theres also the stagger the victim when being extremely close then release cloud thoe (louisiana prob didnt get staggered either cus he spammed shove or they removed it in that point of dev)

Huh. I never knew about this till now. There are a few L4D3 fan-made ideas similar to this back in the old days.

Honestly, if there's a mod similar to the Leaker Script mod, an 18% to spawn the Leaker instead of the Boomer, this would be it. Spawning a Poison Smoker; it acts like the Smoker, but this one doesn't pull his victims. As this mod says, poisoning his victims, giving them a temporary effect.

Just an idea.
