tf2: Fix MvM bots not being able to use their items

Open Mikusch opened this issue 6 months ago • 3 comments

In some cases, robots in MvM mode can not use their items (Buff Banner, Bonk, etc.), due to the timer in CTFBotUseItem ending before the weapon is fully deployed. This leads to a loop of robots constantly switching to their items without activating it.

We should wait until the bot is actually able to "attack" aka use the item.

Resubmission of #875 due to a deleted fork

This will affect balance of Mann Up/Boot Camp heavily, I'd recommend making it convar that is turn-onable for community servers instead

This is fixing broken behavior introduced in Gun Mettle, due to the increased switch speed. I do not see how this affects the balance.

What? This is a bug messing with the gameplay. How is that related to balance in any way?

Bugs affecting gameplay can change the balance. And this PR is worth any changes.
