[L4D]drop weapon (not the same idea)

LTR.2 · **Author**

hi.
the request is: everytime your weapon runs out of ammo you drop the weapon to convince players to grab another weapon.

BTW: how do you remove the names above the heads of the survivors?

I like this idea except I would alter it by giving the player the option to drop the weapon... Sometimes I'll hold onto a gun if I want to wait for the next ammo stack... If I have laser sights on a gun I might not want to be forced to drop it since I'd lose my laser sights...

I suppose though, it's a moot point since if you run out of ammo on a gun you can't select it... so it's as good as dropped anyway...

maybe keeping the laser sight?

As far as I can tell... On L4D2 the Laser Sight Upgrade is "individual gun specific".
In other words... the upgrade doesn't carry over from gun to gun as it does on L4D1...
It's not quite the same as the Survivor Upgrade where your survivor player gets the upgrade throughout that map or campaign...
So unless there's a way to make laser sights persistent like it is on L4D1 then I'm not sure being forced to drop an empty weapon would be appreciated by all players...

this would be a good idea but then again the laser sights is the only bad part and the names part would be useful, really useful for realism mode could use this for my mod if someone could make it or tell me how

wonder if atomic can do something about the laser sights, he has a similar plugin, but i am not sure if it's the same thing.
