Description:Developed after SirPlease's initial work. Big thanks to him.
This plugin allows players to customize their auto switch setting that was forced by game,
which means players can decide to not pull out weapons when picking up.
Besides it provides control over behaviors regarding:- Receiving light health items (stop the game forcing players to pull out)
- Picking up incapped teammates (interrupt the pick-up under certain situations)
Known Issues:Anyway the features are accomplished server-side, so inevitably there is an unsync issue across network between client and server.
This is unlike other games, e.g., CS:GO where the auto switching is built in so the client can predict it to happen depending on client settings regardless of response from server side.
Eventually it boils down to some failing in manual switching at the very timing when the auto switch should happen, and it could be annoying with high latency.
CVars:
PHP Code:
// "Flags for Switching from current item (1:Secondary, 2: Passed Pills, 4: Primary)"
// The default flags applied on clients
// ("Secondary" and "Primary" flag applies only when the client has never used the command to customize)
pickup_switch_flags "7"
// "Flags for Stopping Pick-up progress on Incapped Survivors (1:Spit Damage, 2:TankPunch, 4:TankRock"
pickup_incap_flags "7"
Player Commands:
PHP Code:
// Toggle the auto switch setting for primaries
// The setting is saved server-side and restored every time joining the server.
!primary / sm_primary
// Toggle the auto switch setting for secondaries
// The setting is saved server-side and restored every time joining the server.
!secondary / sm_secondary
