PRL '81: Scanners and Manhacks

This mod replaces the default HL2 Scanners and Manhacks with ones made by me, for the PRL '81 Pack.
The City Scanner has custom animations.

Some lore if you're interested:
- The BSR (Bezzałogowy System Rozpoznawczy - Unmanned Reconnaissance System), commonly known as City Scanner, is a Polish unmanned recon drone, developed domestically by the Instytut Techniczny Wojsk Lotniczych (Technical Institute of the Air Force) in the late 1960s. Able to operate both autonomously and remote-controlled, it was initially developed to monitor the spread of Xenian flora and fauna throughout the country. Its low cost and utility quickly saw it being pressed into service by various government services, from the Military and Border Troops to Fire Brigades. The drones are prominenty used by the Milicja Obywatelska to patrol the streets and "monitor the peace and order", although many suspect the Security Service uses them for eavesdropping. When the Martial Law was imposed, hundreds of thousands of Scanners were deployed across the country to spy on the citizens and single-out potential dissidents.

- The BSMR (Bezzałogowy System Minersko-Rozpoznawczy - Unmanned Minelayer-Reconnaissance System), commonly known as Shield Scanner, is a Polish unmanned drone, which branched off from the BSR development. Designed for strictly military purposes, it has all the functions of it's civillian cousin, with the addition of light armor and a single retractable manipulator arm. It's main purpose is to provide combat reconnaisance in dangerous environments, provide visual support for the T-55HL and, above all, deploy landmines and other such equipment. Small size and a quiet experimental repulsor thruster allows the BSMR to sneakily lay mines behind enemy positions, or just drop them straight onto their heads.

- The NASP (Narzutowy Autonomiczny System Przeciwpiechotny - Scatterable Autonomous Anti-personnel System) is a Polish light combat drone, designed for flushing out enemies from thight spaces and sweeping Xen-infested canals and drains. Based on the MN-111 scatterable mine[en.m.wikipedia.org], it uses similar methods of deployment by the helicopter-based "Platan" launchers[muzeumratownictwa.pl]. Instead of falling and burrowing into the ground, the NASP activates it blade rotor mid-fall, gently flying towards the target zone and beginning its operations from there. It can also be deployed by foot soldiers or ground-based launchers. Though relatively harmless on its own, the cheap construction and rather dumb programming allows them to be produced in large numbers and deployed en-masse, overwhelming any encountered enemy. Due to it's rather brutal methods of dealing with targets, the NASP earned itself the nickname "Manhack".

!!! BUGS !!!
- For some stupid reason, the City Scanner's hitboxes refused to accept being changed. So if you want to effectively shoot this thing, you have to aim in the general area around the Eye ONLY.

Credit also goes to 3Dvision and Hooded Horse, as well as to Kally, for the detailing on the City Scanner (loudspeakers from WRSR and searchlight from the BRDM mod)
