General Mind Trick Level 4 Improvements

[eezstreet]

• can't control people on speeders properly (buuuuugs!)
• controlling people = bad prediction mojo
• viewmodels on tuskens = MESSED UP
• Remove spacebar from mind control dismount, instead use force powers
• Add weapon switching to NPC
• Add force power usage for Jedi

It should also be noted that controlling an NPC gives unlimited ammo and a massive rate of fire. The rate of fire makes melee-equipped NPCs (Tuskens) worthless, blaster-equipped NPCs overpowered, and rocket/concussion-equipped NPCs into nukes.

I would very much like to see the feature improved.

This has already been fixed.

Really? Good to know. It doesn't seem to be in the changelog, though. I would test it myself, but compiling gives me a "file invalid or corrupt" error.

There's plenty more things that could be improved with mind trick 4.
