Looks like the bugs with the mods I mentioned earlier are indeed fixed! You might want to look into behaviors for attempting to choke nextbots, (like pinhead, for example) currently they turn into errors as long as you are looking at them and holding down left click. You can actually get them stuck in that state if you switch to another weapon quickly after letting go of the nextbot.

As for suggestions, if you could get the entity being strangled to use it's true health value, it could lead to some funny moments (desperately body slamming and punching some dude with +1000 hp before they get back up and rock your shi). A stamina bar for how long you can choke something could be a nice-to-have, could prevent some abuse situations where one player is stun-locking another in spawn (as an option of course). Perhaps a more retracted hand when not hovering over a valid target?

Regardless as to if you add these or not, I love the addon!

Add different sounds for different npcs. Zombie = zombie sounds, combine = combine sounds, etc. and maybe a utility slider for damage or other. I personally want to grab someone and send them flying into a window across a room so maybe power slider. idk.

I think it would be cool if you could use an npc you're grabbing as a meatshield.

Glad to hear youl ike it :)
I actually wanted it to use the npcs HP value, but didn't think it was worth the effort, however i might add it really soon. idk about the stamina thing , it deppends if eople actaully use it in MP.
and about the nextbot behavior, i dont know how it could use it, beside setting the nexbot to idle.
Anyway thanks alot for the feedback!

will there be an uppercut attack like 5+ attack damage and the button to activate it is MMB Middle mouse button the scroll wheel

Thanks alot for all the suggestions guys, there are a lot of things i can add and I will. But it will take some time given how much is there to add.

cuz i just want to do a full ahh combo in his face

There's a weird bug when you choke NPC, and you die before NPC get's up, it's creating a lot of error and spawn like 1000 same NPC, on place where he fell, and because there a lot of NPC's, game crush

Making it have an offhand version, like choking and using someone as bodyshield while shooting a gun
