[VScript] Smoker Cloud Poison Damage + Manual Cloud Release Ability

Description
In L4D1's early development, the smoker had the ability to manually create black smoke, staggering anyone who was close to him when he released it, and dealt poison damage to anyone that went inside the cloud. This mod is a recreation of that ability, and it gives you some control over what it can do.

Local Servers/Singleplayer only.

FEATURES
  • Release a cloud of smoke by pressing your Use key
  • A few gameplay effects you can pick from for when enemies enter your cloud (poison damage, movement slowdown, and staggering. See settings section)
  • Do you just want the cloud that's released on death to have some extra gameplay function without the manual-release stuff? You can turn that off! (see settings section)
  • Works in any gamemode

BOT SUPPORT
If manual cloud release is enabled, Smoker bots will drop clouds when:
  • They begin choking someone
  • They're in the main path of the level and the survivors are close enough
  • An enemy gets too close to them for comfort

SETTINGS
You can change up some settings about the mod at left4dead2/ems/smoker_manual_cloud/settings.cfg

See this discussion to learn what they do: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/workshop/filedetails/discussion/3522370862/592902428426245747/

you mod is really cool but i think that smoker's poison damage is a little strong, is there any option to reduze how fast his poison reduces player's HP?

actually you were right. I just tested and checked the code myself, and it seems the bot is still able to release the cloud when he begins choking a survivor. will fix ASAP. Thank you for the report.

It's written the way you told me, but the Smoker bot keeps releasing the cloud (Sorry I made a mistake when writing the previous comment)

That is impossible. Assuming you actually wrote "DeathCloudOnly 1", it should be "DeathCloudOnly = 1" instead.

Hello @Witch,I found a bug.

When you have the option (DeathCloudOnly 1), Smoker Bot continues to use the ability to drop the cloud regardless of the option's state.

Realmente le agrega dificultad sin hacerlo injusto, muy bueno el mod la verdad

it's a bit of a long story but for the manual clouds I had to create my own screen effect.

I might soon implement settings for players to change the colors of the manual cloud's effect.
if you have a smoker cloud recolor, the manual smoke will be the modded color but the overlay will still be gray instead of the modded cloud color. The death smoke works normally tho.
