Smoker Tongue Whip Mechanic VSCRIPT

General Info

This mod gives the Smoker a new skill: he will be able to whip his tongue to stumble or knock down survivors. He can even combo you with it, using his normal tongue right after.

To evade it, you can jump or crouch. It depends on which variation of the move he is using, as he can also use a crouching variation to knock you down.

You can config it the way you like; the config file is located in: Left4Dead2>Gu8's Mod Configs>smoker_tongue>config.txt

Works in versus! To use it, hold down "E" and then press LMB/Shove.

Like the charger, the smoker will also gain a resistance buff while using the attack, a 80% one.
