Revive Animation Interrupt Fix

Subscribed

Description

Fixes the survivor-reviving-other animation being interrupted by weapon swapping that cancels their animation and makes them stand idle over their revive target. Hitboxes follow the animation so people don't have to worry about shooting over the crouching models of revivers and accidentally friendly firing.

@kouga
The looking backwards is controlled by a pose parameter, not a gesture animation. And even through manually running a constant think hook to force the survivor to look backwards, the client doesn't care and will still render the normal broken pose parameter for facing forwards. So this is building up to be something only Valve can fix.
Here is an image showing the server hitboxes as the wireframe cubes and the survivor model.

@kouga
Tried an unsuccessful attempt a long time ago in this thread, gave up on it from feeling like it's another client-side bug that just can't be either fixed or smoothly overwritten by a different system.

speaking of L4D1-y fixes i just found out that incapped survivors used to accurately point their body to where they were aiming. is that something you might be able to restore in L4D2?

Shadowysn [author] 14 Nov @ 9:42pm

L4D1 doesn't stop the player from switching weapons while reviving too and the animation didn't get interrupted by default so this technically counts as a L4D1-y fix. Even without that in consideration, it's a minor thing overall whether you can switch weapons or not as you revive.
