Is it possible? Been pissing me off when I creep up behind someone with a shotgun, then step over a crossbow and it switches.

I have looked in game options, and searched the forum to no avail. Had a quich look through the gfg as well but can only see auto hud option. Chances are its blatently obvious.

Any help much appreciated.
 
He means auto-switch when you pick up a new weapon. Like you have a pistol and you walk over a shotgun and it switches to the shotgun. He wants to fix that.
 
I am not sure if you can :| it will most likely be in the advanced keyboard options
 
Just shoot him/it with whatever-thing-you-have. All weapons can kill! :P
 
This has to be able to be turned off. In the advanced menu you can only make hot keys actually hotkeys, not just a link to that horrid menu.

Doom3 has it there to be on or off.

I see what your saying.

2 shotgun blasts to the head point blank = enemy dead. 1 miss with the arrow when the game decides that I want to use the crossbow + 10 secs to reload, or 5 to switch back run away a bit duck etc = me dead.

See what I'm sayng?

:rolling:
 
Well, that wouldn't happen a lot would it? (Not for me :))
Those options should be in the menu. :sleep:
 
I know you can do it in CS:S. If you only have a pistol and you step over a rifle. That should be able to be done in HL2 too.

That was just an example of what I meant. But it does happen a lot. In fact it happens every time you run over a "better" weapon.

They should be in the menu. aargh ;(

Was it an option or a config string? maybe they use the same sort of commands?

I'll go and check where it is in CS:S. Hold on.

EDIT: It's in Multiplayer>Advanced. But since there are no Multiplayer in HL2, I don't know, sorry.
 
just quickly press q and resume killing with your previous weapon :P
 
I do do that, I just want not to. Every other fps I have has an option to turn that shit off.

I'm going to email the creators.. heh I wont hold my breath for a responce.
 
What's the big deal? That only happens like 7 times in the whole game.

Shame, thanks for looking though. Much appreciated.

OF COURSE!!! :flame:

hehe nono... joke ofcourse, I love the game and i couldnt less care if a freaking autoswitch on/off option is lacking...
 
I hate this as well. I'll be in HL2DM and the weapons will switch right when I'm about to blow someone's head off--then I die instead. I've been looking all over the net for some way to disable this but to not success-yet. I won't stop until I find it, though...
 
I was talking about dm, sorry wrong forum, but as dm is essentially the same game with different maps, I posted it in here.

Ridiculous if you ask me. As if the computer knows what weapon is better. :flame:

Ah, I see. There it is more useful than in SP. It might be in the same place as in CS:S, (Multiplayer>Advanced). I thought you were talking about SP all the time.
 
I thought I'd post in general as it sort of applies to both, but as you said serves more purpose in dm.

It's just beyond me why they wouldn't let you make your own mind up.
 
Yeah, it's very annoying in DM. An option to turn it off would be very, very good... :|
 
Pray... That should do it... and if it doesnt... then its the end of the world, and if its not the end of the world... then god know wut... peace out.. bush sucks... im out.
 
I never switched it off, but I'm 99.9% positive that I saw an option to do so. Probably under advanced options like people have said. Has anybody actually looked?? I REMEMBER seeing it and thinking whether or not I should turn it off.
 
It's in advanced...I'm quite sure... Never had the problem to say the least.
 
You guys are thinking 'fastswitch', not 'autoswitch'. Fastswitch is good. Autoswitch sucks.
Autoswitch has definitly killed me many a time in HL2DM.

There should be a console command or something.
