FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Does this work on official servers?

No, this is a VScript, which requires you to play in singleplayer or on a local server for it to function properly. No, other players do not need to have it installed for it to work.

Does this work in Versus mode?

Yes! In fact, it’s specifically designed with Versus mode in mind. Just remember that you must be the local host of the server in order for the VScript to function correctly. See this guide to see how to enable addons in versus mode [How To Enable Addons In Versus.]

Is this compatible with other VScripts that modify AI?

Most likely not. This script is 100% incompatible with other VScripts that also modify ConVars related to AI or infected behavior. It is strongly recommended that you use this VScript alone, without any other AI-modifying scripts for Special or Common Infected.

Opinions are very important to me, if you have any positive or negative reviews I would love to read them, remember to be polite above all.

Enjoy.
