Headcrab Detachment

Description
Adds a better look for when headcrabs are detached from a zombie. Meant for if "Keep Corpses" is on because it detects if any headcrab clientside ragdoll is created to apply the effect.

Basically shoots the headcrab up, plays a particle, and a sound effect when shooting off a headcrab from a zombie.

Made this because I was annoyed how when you killed a zombie, their headcrab would just spawn in the air with no momentum and it felt really dry to kill zombies. Now it’s more stimulating to kill zombies.

Keep Corpses on for best results.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ConVars:

Headcrab_det_serverside 1/0 - Sets if ragdoll should be converted to serverside ragdoll.
Headcrab_det_gibsupport 1/0 - Enables gib support on headshot kills.
Headcrab_det_multiplier (VALUE) - Damage multiplier for transferred damage (gibsupport)
Headcrab_det_shotgun_boost (VALUE) - Shotgun head damage multiplier for transferred damage (gibsupport)

what zombie addon is that?

Did some further testing. I'm still unsure why exactly the addon refuses to work, but i DO know that this addon https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3484514376 in tandem with this one was what generated the floating headcrabs. Optimenu can enable/disable a lot of experimental rendering options, which is likely why this behavior happened.

Yeah, this addon does absolutely nothing except introduce issues into the game.
While enabled alongside my usual addons, any headcrabs that try to drop off a zombie's head freeze in the air, then vanish.
This glitch persists AFTER THE MOD HAS BEEN UNSUBSCRIBED FROM.

While enabled on its own, this mod just does... literally nothing. live headcrabs drop to the ground after a zombie dies. no special effects.

This mod seems to work very well for some people, but for me, it has caused immense frustration. I'm willing to discuss this further if the dev would like additional feedback. maybe we can solve this glitch?

@Moontzi No, but there is a mod that does that: Here.

does this mod make it so headcrabs dont detach when you shoot the body? because i HATE when they detach and then you gotta shoot them

@Abx read the description. This behavior is present already in base gmod, yes, but this mod improves it and adds more features.

@Napolarper These were made using lua, and Half-Life 2 has no kind of lua library, no lua support whatsoever.
