Is there anyway to edit the tags of a weapon?

Looking at http://git.optf2.com/schema-tracking...=teamfortress2 weapons have tags like can_deal_damage and can_headshot I wonder if TF2items can help me edit those somehow?

Here's the code of The Ambassador as an example of tags:

		"weapon_ambassador"
		{
			"item_class"	"tf_weapon_revolver"
			"craft_class"	"weapon"
			"craft_material_type"	"weapon"
			"capabilities"
			{
				"nameable"		"1"
				"can_gift_wrap" 	"1"
			}
			"tags"
			{
				"can_deal_damage"		"1"
				"can_headshot"			"1"
				"can_deal_critical_damage"	"1"
				"can_deal_mvm_penetration_damage"	"1"
				"can_deal_long_distance_damage"	"1"
			}
			"show_in_armory"	"1"
			"item_type_name"	"#TF_Weapon_Revolver"
			"item_name"	"#TF_Unique_Achievement_Revolver"
			"item_slot"	"secondary"
			"item_quality"	"unique"
			"propername"	"1"
			"item_logname"	"ambassador"
			"item_iconname"	"ambassador"
			"min_ilevel"	"5"
			"max_ilevel"	"5"
			"image_inventory"	"backpack/weapons/c_models/c_ambassador/parts/c_ambassador_opt"
			"image_inventory_size_w"		"128"
			"image_inventory_size_h"		"82"
			"model_player"	"models/weapons/c_models/c_ambassador/c_ambassador.mdl"
			"attach_to_hands" "1"
			"used_by_classes"
			{
				"spy"	"1"
			}
			"attributes"
			{
				"revolver use hit locations"
				{
					"attribute_class"	"set_weapon_mode"
					"value"	"1"
				}
				"damage penalty"
				{
					"attribute_class"	"mult_dmg"
					"value" "0.85"
				}
				"fire rate penalty"
				{
					"attribute_class"	"mult_postfiredelay"
					"value"	"1.2"
				}
				"crit mod disabled"
				{
					"attribute_class"	"mult_crit_chance"
					"value"	"0"
				}
			}
			"visuals"
			{
				"sound_single_shot" "Weapon_Ambassador.Single"
				"sound_burst" "Weapon_Ambassador.SingleCrit"
			}
			"mouse_pressed_sound"	"ui/item_light_gun_pickup.wav"
			"drop_sound"		"ui/item_light_gun_drop.wav"
		}

There's no point to it. "tags" is there for the central item server as it controls which strange parts can be assigned to the Strange version of a weapon.

So how would one go about in making a weapon crit on headshots then?

Only such attribute is the one making The Ambassador headshot and it only works on revolvers.

You realize that tags and attributes are two different things, right?

The Ambassador has an item attribute named "revolver use hit locations" (item attribute 51) that causes it to headshot.

However, I'm not sure if it works on weapons that aren't revolvers.

Edit: In fact, I'm sure it won't as it's an attribute change type of "set_weapon_mode", which is used by a wide variety of weapons to change their modes. The hidden (and thus generic) version of this attribute is named "lunchbox adds minicrits" and is on a wide variety of weapons, such as the Ubersaw and Buffalo Steak Sandvich (which is where it got its name).

You just quoted me saying that the attribute The Ambassador doesn't work on revolvers.

Yes I know the difference between attributes and tags, yes I know about the attribute I told you about, I asked if I could change the tags because I didn't find a way via attributes. Please do not take me for an idiot just because I'm asking questions.

Powerlord's post has the attitude it has because you've done the classic XY problem - which is extremely frustrating for people trying to help others for free in their spare time.

You want to make a weapon crit on headshots, so you asked about changing weapon tags.

Even if your question was answered satisfactorily, you still wouldn't have been able to do what you wanted as the tags have nothing to do with weapon functionality - they're just metadata.

Yes that... definitely not because I wasn't paying enough attention to note he'd already mentioned it ^{or because writing docs for other developers on how to do basic operations in TFS is sapping my brainpower.}

Throw them off the building right after the TFS server.

Wish I could.

Somehow, despite being a Java Web Developer and not a sysadmin, I got tasked with setting everything up for the mandatory SVN to TFS conversion, including writing the materials to teach the Java and Oracle devs the basics of using TFS. Despite having never used TFS for code stuff prior to today.

Well, everything except for the actual import from SVN to TFS which actually is being done by a sysadmin.

Lol

You could assume I asked about tags because I wanted to know about headshots.

But I asked about tags and THEN about headshots after getting a good answer on the first question.
