Short description

Please don't kill me for this, I'm just the person implementing the changes.

Some creatures really don't like the 1 second delay and feel the item dropping is not a good compromise, so here's a revert to the "old" system (everyone just goes prone instantly, no item dropping).

Additionally to that I've added a controls option to disable the "double tap to stand up" feature, since some also really don't like that.

Why we need to add this

Balance change, the initial PR seemed like a mald pr after a bad round, quite a couple people expressed they don't like both current options on discord.

Please close or tell me to change it if you don't like it. I'll definitively PR the new controls option again if this PR is closed.
