This is a custom script that allows the survivors to use the death animations of common infected... while keeping the defib ability usable by making the actual static body invisible. The addon has functionality on all gamemodes and maps, but for Versus it is automatically disabled by Valve.

Death animations won't happen if: (You're jumping/flying in the air, or too close to an edge) [Can be inconsistent] (You die by falling) (You're incapacitated/hanging off a ledge) (The ground is not mostly flat enough. Example: stairs, steep ramps, etc.) (You were pinned by a Hunter or Charger) (You die by boss infected, like Witches or Tank punches or Tank rocks, toggleable in settings.cfg) In these cases, you'll turn straight into a limp ragdoll instead.

Other notices:

- You do not need to worry about the defibrillators becoming useless with this mod. The static death models are made invisible (but won't follow the body) and can be revived to bring them back. If it's realism, though, the static death model will just be transparent. However, their ragdoll will stay. It is impossible to remove their ragdoll upon defibrillating as far as I know. - Most custom survivor model replacements should work with this mod, however there could be a few that may not. - This already allows you to ragdoll even when the death animations don't happen, so don't be surprised if both this addon and my Survivor Ragdolls mod conflict. Just turn on only one at a time. - Due to bonemerging, things can get wonky when you change the models of the survivors/common infected. This already happens with vanilla Coach, Francis and Louis, as there are no common infected tall enough to serve as their anims. Oh, and model scaling by script is broken in L4D2. - Now compatible with the Defib Survivor Ragdolls mod.
