- Player the smoker started his tongue attack at
Tip:set to null to abort tongue attack in state 2
- m_potentialTarget ([todo internal name (i)]) <targetname*>
- Some player that smoker can start tongue attack at from his current position and angles
- m_tongueGrabStartingHealth ([todo internal name (i)]) <integer>
- health of a smoker at the moment he caught a survivor
- m_tongueVictimLastOnGroundTime ([todo internal name (i)]) <float>
- server time of the last time caught survivor was touching the ground
