Spawn Bubble Sound Deleter

What you see before you is the ultimate RP tool - the Spawn Bubble Sound Deleter.

Many, if not all, RP servers have a very annoying issue - an RP-breaking intrusive sound cue that plays when a player loads into a server.

This, as far as I am aware, is not intended behavior, and could be considered a bug turned feature. However, for my RP server, this is unacceptable - players might load right into the middle of an RP process and disturb it with this silly bubble sound.

The reason why the sound occurs, as I found out, is due to client-server desync. Client, when joining, is, for some unspecified reason, considered to be underwater, so if he doesn't catch air soon enough, the drowning logic will kick in. And when it kicks in, it kicks in hard.

Now some technical stuff about the addon:
The now optimized script (thanks https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/id/doopiewop) hooks up to the EntityEmitSound event and checks if a "player/pl_drown1.wav" has been played. If it has, we check if the entity that made the sound is a player, if it exists, and, of course, if the player has just spawned. If indeed the player has just joined, we set a boolean blockedInitialDrown to true in order to prevent deleting someone's drowning sounds when they really decide to drown for real.

Here are some tags in case someone searches for this solution:

Thanks, and have fun.
