Inspired by the 200 IQ Bots of ConnerRia.

Summary
This is my version of ConnerRia's Fly You Fools plugin. Instead of focusing on the latest tank spawn, I added an algorithm where it records all spawned living tanks in an array and compare it to each Survivor bot position.

Versions
Type A - An L4D2 exclusive

- Makes use of vscript commands exclusive to only L4D2
- Optimized code for seamless tank avoidance.
- Retains ConnerRia's original premise which requires bot AI reset on incapacitation

Type B - Applicable to both L4D1/2

- Requires SM 1.10+
- Optimized algorithm. Tank detection will not reset anymore unlike Type A
- L4D1 implementation included
- Survivor AI will not reset on incapacitation.
- Refactored entire tank spawn listing algorithm

 Bugs 
- [FIXED] Does not detect player controlled tanks (Type B is currently not recommended for VS modes)
- [FIXED] Algorithm's indexing errors in relation to players/bots

ConVars

//Print [L4D] Dynamic Tank Avoidance Version
l4d_dynatankavoid_version

//The range the survivor bots must keep a distance from any incoming tank.
//Default is 300
l4d_dynatankavoidancerange

Recommended Settings

//A range between 100 to 225 hammer units is recommended for multi-tank maps such as Tank Challenge, Tank Arena, and Tanks Playground by Obez

I.E.
//For extremely crowded areas with tanks(Tanks > 2 with limited movement space)
l4d_dynatankavoidancerange 100

//A bit spacey but a lot of tanks(Tanks > 2 with a considerable movement area)
l4d_dynatankavoidancerange 225

//Recommended default for using Valve's original tank spawn settings which is a maximum of 2 simultaneous tank spawns per map like in Swamp Fever
l4d_dynatankavoidancerange 300

//My own recommended settings for ANY type of game involving a huge pool of tanks or otherwise
l4d_dynatankavoidancerange 135

looks interesting gonna try it

edit: well it works great and even more with the witch avoidance plugin as well

So...
Which version is better for L4D2?
Does version B do something version A doesn't?

Both versions feature-wise should accomplish the same thing with a few minor differences.

Version B is primarily supposed to be a bleeding edge version of type A (A.K.A - A different implementation with the same goal in mind including backward compatibility for L4D1). If you primarily play L4D2, it does not matter which version you'd take as any would do.

By default, you should stick to type A if you only play L4D2.

Could you create a survivor bot that can evade special infected?
