Features:
- Jumping:
The cvar l4d2_charger_jump lets chargers jump while charging.
- Collision:
The cvar l4d2_charger_charge controls if charging into a survivor grabs them (default game behaviour) or throws them out the way.
- Pummel:
The cvar l4d2_charger_finish will drop survivors after charging with them instead of default game behaviour to pummel.
- Pickup:
The cvar l4d2_charger_pickup allows chargers to melee punch survivors to grab and drop them.
- Survivor Shove:
The cvar l4d2_charger_shove allows survivors to shove chargers and release a survivor being pummeled or carried.
