I've noticed (especially when playing Dead Center) playing versus, survivors can get stuck and will be unable to move. Slapping doesn't free them and sometimes they have to wait for help from an infected player gracious enough to assist. A plugin like this was made here:
http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?p=508657. However, its randomized location will spawn you way outside of the map.
This plugin will allow the user to type
!stuck in chat and the plugin will teleport them a few inches away to help get them out of their predicament. It limits the user to only be able to do this twice on a map.
I've adapted my code from this plugin here:
