Simply put, this little modification removes the need for the weak sniper rifle by making the weaker shot the default attack of the sniper, but checking if your class is marked as a "sniper" or not before using the more powerful attack. The Stealth sniper rifle wasn't modified because you can't obtain that naturally. The sniper backpack was also modified to give you a Sniper Rifle instead of a weak sniper. Anyway, here's the modified sniper rifle code:



...aaaand the modified backpack code:

The question I mostly have, is what is the end-goal of this? What would putting this in accomplish?

Apparently, he wants to lessen the number of sniper rifle weapons and pack them all into one.

I just didn't like switching up from my sniper rifle to a weapon for close range and getting sent back to my sniper, at which point I'm usually dead.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but sniper classes can no longer get weak sniper rifles. So what exactly is the problem?

When you kill a person carrying a sniper rifle and you pick up the pack, it contains a weak-sniperrifle. Because you have a sniperrifle and not a weak-sniperrifle, you pick up the weapon. When you switch up to it, it'll just put you back at the sniper rifle. But that gives an attacker more than enough time to kill you.

Oh, you mean kind of like how the beacon item disappears, but only after you switch to it?

Yes, something similar to that.

The BeaconItem was reworked, thanks to you mentioning that. I had been meaning to do that for quite some time.

As for the new sniper rifle, I'll look over it more closely later, but this is a likely 'yes'.
