Switch/Takeover Script 2.0 (survivor picker)

With this addon you can takeover available bots in coop-based gamemodes (e.g. Coop, Survival, Realism etc etc) with at least two players on the server.
For example if you suddenly got incapacitated you can takeover a free bot right away or you can kill bots by jumping from a high height as that character and then switching to a free bot before you hit the ground.
All required keybindings can be found at the keyboard controls menu.

As of 29.02.2017 subscription to Menu Framework is now a REQUIREMENT. It is made in favor of having multiple radialmenu-based addons working.

• no cheats are required;
  
• fast, small, reliable and simple to use;
  
• works correctly even if you're incapacitated;
  
• compatible with other radialmenu based addons that are using same framework;
  
• has a clientmenu variant;
  
• works on servers without wait command support;
  
• no installation required - subscribe, bind your keys and play your way!

This mod doesn't require any installation by default. You only have to change the keybindings to suit your needs.
If you don't see options in the keyboard settings menu - turn off all conflicting addons except this one (can do that in "Addons" section from main game menu) then change your keyboard settings and reenable addons back. Alternatively, you can also bind your keys manually using the command console:
You can't use other vocalizer-based addons with this addon, unless it's supported by Menu Framework.

Make sure you're switching to an existing free bot that isn't dead or being controlled by another player and is a part of the same mission character set (L4D1/L4D2). Otherwise you'll create a new dead bot which will bring about various bugs like further duplications or losing the ability to takeover bots.

If you are worried about switching to a bot as some one is joining the game you can see connecting players by using the "status" command in the console. You should think twice before taking over a busy bot.

• Bots duplication (can be fixed on serverside);
  
• Various idle-related bugs and glitches (can be fixed on serverside).
