[VScript/xdR] The Ceiling Hunter

This mod recreates the hunter's scrapped ceiling latch ability from some early beta of left 4 dead 1. There is no known footage of the ability itself being used, so the functionality was based off of a video showcasing an old unreleased sourcemod plugin that attempted to remake the same thing.

• Latch onto any ceiling by pressing your Use key!
  
• You are completely silent while this ability is active
  
• Perform a quick-pounce while on a ceiling by just pressing your Primary Fire key
  
• Cancel your ceiling latch by pressing Secondary Fire
  
• XDR Animation! (Occupies slot 12)
  
• Bot Support!
  
• Custom models and textures are also supported

Hunters that use the ceiling latch ability will only use it if they're not behind the survivor team, as to not hang around useless places frequently. If nobody shows up within their line of sight for a while, they'll cancel the ability and chase you down (or hang up on another ceiling)

Their reaction times to performing a quick-pounce are also based on difficulty:

Easy: 1.5 seconds
Normal: 0.7 seconds
Advanced: 0.5 seconds
Expert: 0.1 seconds

• Ceiling Hunters' glow outlines and flashlight shadows show them doing the incorrect pose. Unfortunately this cannot be fixed.
  
• In some rare occasions, you might get stuck when performing a ceiling latch. Try not to hang yourself on some weird places if you're afraid of getting stuck.

Waltz for making the animation and xdr support for this mod.
devlos for assisting me with a few issues regarding VScript.
