Bug in l4d_tongue_block_fix

[nikita1824]

Hello, installing l4d_tongue_block_fix plugin causes ai's smoker ability to be broken (smoker bots can't grab any survivor at all). I tried to filter bots in CH_PassFilter() to avoid plugin to interrupt in ai's ability behavior but it didn't help. Do you have any idea how to solve this problem?

Not really remember there's difference in tongue chasing between bots and humans. And I cannot reproduce that one on my end. Would you like to share some footages, and if possible, double check with all other plugins unloaded?

yeap, I'm not sure about other plugins here is video link: https://youtu.be/sy7g-fYeSp4

If you don't mind, check out the following debug code and try again to see if there's anything strange?

Copy the following to the beginning of CH_PassFilter block

    static int lastHit = -1;
    if (lastHit != touch)
    {
        lastHit = touch;

        static char cls[64];
        if (pass > MaxClients)
        {
            if (!GetEdictClassname(pass, cls, sizeof(cls)))
                return Plugin_Continue;

            if (strcmp(cls, "ability_tongue") != 0)
                return Plugin_Continue;

            if (touch > 0 && touch <= MaxClients)
            {
                if (!GetClientName(touch, cls, sizeof(cls)))
                    return Plugin_Continue;
            }
            else if (!GetEdictClassname(touch, cls, sizeof(cls)))
                return Plugin_Continue;

            PrintToChatAll("[DEBUG] Tongue fly collision: %s", cls);
        }
    }

Hello, I'm sorry for the late reply. Pattern of the bug has changed since the version 1.3 of the plugin. I don't know how to explain it. Here is the video link: https://youtu.be/K1sEax-2lqI From debug messages it's hard to tell what's wrong...

Upd: There is another thing, when I use this sourcescramble pattern of the bug changes. AI smokers cannot grab me when they are in the close distance but from mid/far distance there are no problems.

Pushed a fix via pull request, tested on L4D2 Linux and looks fine on my end. Appreciate if you could help confirm :)
