[BUG] DamagedPlayer event causes FPS drops on fast firing weapons

[mtxfellen]

event DamagedPlayer in hudanimations_custom.txt currently looks like this:

event DamagedPlayer
{
    Animate CustomCrosshair     FgColor     "Hitmarker"     Linear  0.0     0.00001
    Animate CustomCrosshair     FgColor     "Crosshair"     Linear  0.10    0.10001
}

This will cause the animation to queue up on fast firing weapons and incur potentially significant performance penalties (regardless of whether you actually use a custom crosshair or hitmarker), most easily reproducible by using the Projectile Shield in MvM.

The remedy for this is to use a guard like this, which will cancel the previous event before running the next.

event DamagedPlayer
{
    StopEvent HitMarker 0.0
    RunEvent HitMarker 0.00001
}

event HitMarker
{
    Animate CustomCrosshair     FgColor     "Hitmarker"     Linear  0.0     0.00001
    Animate CustomCrosshair     FgColor     "Crosshair"     Linear  0.10    0.10001
}

Good catch, other custom HUDs all use this.

Tested the fix on another hud and it does seem to fix the perfomance issue as expected. No framerate drops with the shield.
