Witches get angered by flashlights V2

Description
For 16 years, we have been lied to. The L4D1 intro shows a Witch being angered by a flashlight. The survivors tell each other to turn their lights off when they're near a Witch. Everybody jokes constantly about how shining a light on a Witch makes her angry. But what happens when you do it in game? Nothing. She doesn't care.

Until now 1 year ago, when I had the idea to make a mod to fix that.

But now that mod has been improved!



This script changes the way that flashlights affect Witches. If a survivor has their flashlight on and pointed at a Witch, she will be angered much faster and from further away. You can turn your light on and off to see the change happen; she'll calm down when it's off, and get mad again when it's back on.

In V2, Witches will only get angered by flashlights if the light is shining in her direction. This adds an extra level of realism, and also means that she won't get angered by survivors who are behind a wall or not looking at her. In addition, the script can be customized by changing the ems file "flashlight_witches_v2\settings.txt". You can alter various aspects such as how quickly she gets angered and from how far away. This lets you tailor the mod to suit your ideal difficulty level, or to make it pair with any other flashlight related mods you have (for example, if you use a brighter flashlight mod you can increase the range at which she will be angered by it).



A very special thank you to Kurochama, Everice and Nescius for their assistance with making the original version of this mod, and thank you to Alpha for the Line of Sight additions

Is the bug where someone looks at her (with the light off) and a person with their flashlight on looks in her direction (even behind a wall) making her mad going to get fixed? Tracelines might work.

Oke, I can try

I don't think it would conflict, but it might be worth disabling it just to check.

Gun scripts mostly. I also have a shove witch script, does it maybe conflict with this script?
