Browning Hi-Power (Additional Animation Experiment)

Description
This isn't a serious release, but rather a small experiment from my researching. This is the same mod as my Browning Hi-Power, but modified to have additional sequences for the dual pistol firing, which are filled in the pistol firing of the opposite pistol. In other words: this is a modified version of the Browning Hi-Power's that will fire the left and right pistols in a randomized sequence rather than an alternating pattern, when using two pistols.

With the right compiling finesse, additional animations can be added to more than one event hook - a single animation set could have more than one fire, reload, melee or draw animation that the engine would randomly pick out each time. This idea has been attempted before in Counterstrike: Source and Team Fortress 2, but it'd never work as intended, only working in local/listen servers, or flatout giving a consistency error. Because of Left 4 Dead 2's special view model system that plays two simaltaneous animations for the server and client respectively, this in theory means that the client-side animation ACT's can have as many sequences hooked up to them as the animator desires while being able to keep the model working online with no consistency errors. Insurgency and Contagion use the same view model system, so this could also apply to them as well.

No, it doesn't.

It may be asking for a bit much from a simple mod, but does this add-on keep track of how much ammo is in each pistol so they fire the same amount of rounds until empty? I know F.E.A.R. did this with the AT-14 pistols, and I always found it hella neat.

Beautiful models, I can't believe you even modeled the magazines properly. Very impressive!

When I saw "Experiment" I had my doubts, but this is probably one of my favorite mods. It makes sense that someone would shoot either gun in no particular order given the panic of the situation. And if you don't think about it too hard you can get past the random clip sizes and marvel at the great animations.

Great job and keep up the good work.

I didn't even notice that artifact in the vid I hastily made until it was pointed out. Oh well, I still think it gets the point across pretty nicely.
