Wanna make the bots more useful? Do you want to watch them throw grenades like you wanted to? Did you expect them to...... Naaahh, you already get the point.
No convars, commands, or anything unnecessary. Just simple drag and drop.
Bugs:
Bots are stuck with the "ready to throw" animation once they got picked. [FIXED]
Throwing boomer biles at tanks may sometimes miss. [FIXED]
Bots are unresponsive during hordes. [FIXED]
A bot being picked as the same chosen thrower. [FIXED]
Longer wait time to the point where the plugin is rendered useless. [FIXED]
The ones stated by mightmagix. [FIXED]
Errors about client not in game. [FIXED]
Notes:
(L4D)
Gear Transfer is needed to make the bots grab grenades. Also, the options where bots can give grenades must be disabled.
(L4D2)
Do not use this along with Gear Transfer as it conflicts with the Left 4 Downtown 2 method.
Bots will not pick-up grenades without the extension unless you have the Gear Transfer plugin installed but expect bugs.

04-16-2017: Separated into two versions for compatibility. Also, minor tweaks and bug fixes.

: Sharply reduced the amount of failed times the chosen thrower has.
: Sharply increased the cool down of both checks.
05-08-2017: Fixed some bugs that I missed.
: Gave credits to the coder and friend of mine who originally came with this idea, a user who helped said coder for common infected, and another friend who advised me when checking stuff on certain conditions.
