FORCE CHOKE ANYONE (force power) v. 1.1

A while ago, tk gave me the permission to release a TSL version of the dark side choker he made for Kotor 1 so here it is with a few modifications.

This force power allows you to force choke anyone in the game except your party members.

I modified tk102's original mod to make a force power which will appear in the friendly force power menu (where healing is) instead of using an armband. You can use it at any time and not
only during battle.

The other modifications I brought are:

- reduced area of effect (8m instead of 17m, which should allow you to target a NPC with more precision)
- removed the possibility to target droids (maybe I should have added an exception for G0-T0...)
- removed the possibility to target puppets (poor Remote!)
- removed the possibility to target some NPCs which had the friendly faction but were not party members
- new icon for the force power menu

Other comments from the original mod:

- The first time you choke a specific NPCc,  it will cause a choke simulation but with no damage (safety measure to avoid killing NPCs by mistake). 

Force choking the NPC a second time will start causing damage to the already choking victim.

- Dark side Points:  If the user is neutral or good, he/she will receive dark side points when using this armband to harm someone - no dark side points are given when force choking a NPC for the first time.

=====================================================
Using the force power:
=====================================================

- You will be able to select the force power in the level up menu only if you already have "Wound", which is a level 6 force power.

- Once you have Wound and Level 6, you will be able to select Force Choke Anyone in the level up screen.
Force Choke Anyone is not the Regular Force Choke from the game. It has its own Icon: a green icon with a man choking.

- The force power will be available at anytime in your friendly force power menu (same menu as heal).

- Don't go killing everyone in the game: if you kill key NPCs, you'll may end up unable to progress in the main quest.
Choose your victims carefully. The script will target the nearest NPC. Use the force...and your head.

=====================================================
