Topic: idea: weapon autoselect order

Hello, I have an idea for a feature.

This would allow the option of having a list of the weapons in order of favour, leading to the options swap weapon on pickup or not to be extended by switch on pickup if better.

This feature is availible on the newer UTs, if that helps get the point across.

Maybe there could also be a feature that automatically swapps weapons to the next best on the list you have ammo for when you run out of ammo for your current weapon.

I don't know if this would make the game too easy.
I would imagine pros would be better suited to use hotkeys for weapon selection, but keep in mind it's supposed to be an option.

I would like to know your thoughts on this.

Re: idea: weapon autoselect order

Can someone please provide a list of shotgun/rocket/laser in the order best to worst? Cause I use all three, laser might be the best of the three, but rocket/shotgun is just a matter of opinion and what happens on the screen.

I think he meant that u can choose the order. Players like u who do not favorize any of the weapons dont need to use the requested feature.

We will meet again when the flowers spread their glorious scent of victory and the birds sing us the melody of justice...

Yeah. I doubt this will make it into the game. However, somebody could mod the client to ad this functionality... I doubt it would be that hard at all.

I would think the order would go like:

1. Hammer
2. Pistol
3. Shotgun
4. Grenade
5. Rifle

But honestly, once you bind the weapons to specific keys, it is MUCH easier and more effective than anything else (ie this or scrolling through the weapons with your mouse scroll).

I will have a go at implementing this feature once 0.5.0 has been released.
