Weapon:Flag

Content

When equipped, the flag has the same characteristics as the Crowbar and can be used as a humiliating melee weapon.

Discussion

The only thing we have to sort out is how one selects the flag, as it cannot be set as the primary melee weapon (slot1) due to several classes possessing unique melee weapons such as the Medikit, Knife and Spanner.

Suggestions

• A: It has been suggested that tapping the melee slot selection key twice in quick succession will equip the flag. I.e. pressing once at any time equips the primary melee weapon. Pressing twice at any time equips the flag.

• B: Pressing the melee slot key once to equip the standard melee weapon (crowbar, knife, medikit or spanner) and then again (at any time) to switch to the flag. Tapping the key once again will return to the primary melee weapon. I.e. once the melee slot is selected, pressing the key again toggles between weapons.

Using a stacked slot (press 1, then you get a list of weapons in that slot, then press 1 again to scroll down to the next selection. Press fire to select the highlighted weapon) is not desirable, as the majority of TF players use hud_fastswitch 1 due to the fact that no weapon slot currently has stacked weapons. I.e. creating a single instance of weapon stacking would be at odds with the rest of the TF weapon system.
