[TTT/Sandbox] Riotshield

All of my addons are up for adoption.
If you're interested in the continuation of one or more of my projects, please feel free to do so.
You are free to change, add and reupload. However I would greatly appreciate you mentioning me as original author.

This is a fully functional riot shield for the detective.
It stops any bullet that hits the shield but no more.
Additionally, it does not offer any protection against fire-, fall, explosion or suffocation damage.

The original idea and design is not mine, however I have provided the most part of the current functiality.

Here is the link to the original addon, all credits of course go to the original artists.
Should you, as the official creator(s) of this addon, still feel offended I will of course take it down immediatly.

First of all, sorry for not updating the description.
The functionality of the shield has changed quite alot, so let's get started.

The riotshield now can only be held in front of you like any normal weapon, too.
While doing this, it (of course) stops bullets from hitting you.
Bullets hitting the shield instead deal damage to it, ultimately leading to it's destruction.
It does take quite a while for it to break and this is also configurable.

While holding the shield, you can use it's active ability by holding right click.
This will make you accelerate in the direction you're facing and anyone standing in your way will, based on the speed with which you hit them, either just be knocked back and taking some damage or will be kompletely knocked out and drop their weapon. The speed threshold at which this happens is also configurable, just like every aspect of the charge itself.

If you want to learn more about the configurability of the shield, just type "riotshield_" into the console and a bunch of commands should show up. They're pretty self-explanatory and after a bit of toying around (you'll have to do that anyways), you should get a pretty good grasp on which aspects are configurable.
Please keep in mind that you should not extend the charging duration past the charge's cooldown because this leads to very weird bugs.

Special thanks to SOFA for creating the ingame icon, looks very nice and fits in with the standard theme very well.
