This plugin lets dead Special Infected players take control of AI by pressing the “USE” button (default “E” key) when spectating in first-person mode. It includes the Tank, allowing players to take control of AI Tanks as well. It’s especially useful since AI bots can be unreliable, and it helps when teams are uneven, allowing players to control bots instead of waiting for a respawn.
