    Its used to be that pistols fired as fast as you clicked. People would set up scripts that fired all 10 shots with 1 click, dealing 200 damage nearly instantly.

    Flayra has done "something" which limits scripting. It somehow detects certain actions, like rapid fire shots or quick weapon switching, and other things which are scripted and nearly impossible to do without script.

    All he did is set a maximum firing rate for the pistol. It mistakingly had none before.

    Yes, however, as far as I understand, Flayra has put in things to prevent other forms of scripting.

    yes, that quick weapon switch thing is SO annoying, I am now hitting 3 and leaping, and it takes adren, and dont leap <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    It sucks, cos I can do switching fast, but the script protection dont let me :S

    Yeah, the delay between weapon switches sucks. It doesn't really seem to exist for marines though, which is odd.

    I'm pretty sure thats a variable that you can change, theres something in your config like cl_quickselecttime which si set to 0.5 as default. Presumably setting it lower would allow you to switch weapons faster.

    yeah ive noticed the ROF limit on the pistol, you shoot so many then it pauses then you can shoot more... im really disapointed in the leap/bite thing though. i like to leap then hit 1 for bite and there is a long delay now... *sigh* ill just have to get used to it...

    Perhaps you should check that the leap has completed before activating bite. For obvious reasons, you can't have leap and bite active at the same time when skulking. It's probably that you have to wait until the leap is 'complete' before you weapon switch.
