Auto Switch Weapon...HELP

[MEAT]

I've searched this topic but found a possible answer to be a little confusing.
In game while I'm playing, I'll run across a weapon, I pick it up and it automatically switches to that weapon.
For example: I have a pistol in hand, I'll run across a rifle...it picks it up and switches...now I have a rifle in hand.
I don't want that...in fact most of the time I don't want that weapon at all.
So, I've gone into my Menu Bar-Options-Weapons, and I've Unchecked Auto-Switch Weapons.
Now pistol stays in hand whenever I run across another weapon.
However, let's say I get killed during the game. The game now converts back to my problem.
I again have to go to Options-Weapons-Uncheck.
Question:
Where in my users.ini folder can I go and "Uncheck" this issue?
In a perfect world I want to run across/pick up a weapon and not see it until I scroll for it.

Not at home right now, but I think is bNeverAutoSwitch=True, right?
Any mutator enabled that may be causing this?

Got It !!!

[Engine.PlayerPawn]
bNeverAutoSwitch=True


[Engine.Pawn]
bNeverSwitchOnPickup=True

only way aside from write protecting user.ini to set this to off is..

1. exit server
2. set it through "weapons" setting. (un-tick)
3. close game
4. reopen game

should stay off now.

Actually, you can do the "unclicking" while playing/without exiting game or server.
The problem is if you die during the game...you have to repeat the process.
And every second counts when you're trying to save the world...

Weapon order switches automatically to higher numbers, but if you prefer specific weapons you can edit which ones get higher priority.

Mine currently looks like this...

[Engine.PlayerPawn]
WeaponPriority[0]=Translocator
WeaponPriority[1]=ClassKnife
WeaponPriority[2]=enforcer
WeaponPriority[3]=ut_biorifle
WeaponPriority[4]=UGSuperShockRifle
WeaponPriority[5]=PapriCannonGun
WeaponPriority[6]=UGEightBall
WeaponPriority[7]=ClassPython
WeaponPriority[8]=DispersionPistol
WeaponPriority[9]=ChainSaw
WeaponPriority[10]=goWarHeadLauncher
WeaponPriority[11]=UGBioCannon
WeaponPriority[12]=Saucier
WeaponPriority[13]=M16Silver
WeaponPriority[14]=CybotLauncher
WeaponPriority[15]=ClassGrenades
WeaponPriority[16]=ShockRifle
WeaponPriority[17]=SuperBoltRifle
WeaponPriority[18]=XidiaCarRifle
WeaponPriority[19]=SniperRifle

...that's just from playing with lots of weapons mutators, and there's a lot more than those; I usually manually edit it down to defaults every month or so.

But, if changing auto-switching to stop isn't the permanent fix you want, you could edit yours so that whatever weapons you prefer are the higher numbered ones and wouldn't be overridden by whatever else you picked up.

If you like the enforcer so much, for example, move it from [2] to [9].

This method ensures that it stays off for good

An alert on setting
[Engine.Pawn]
bNeverSwitchOnPickup=True

After reading this thread I did this and in consequence weapon-holding scriptedpawns spawned with MonsterSpawn in a DM map appeared without weapons. What its wider effects are and in particular what impact it has on other gametypes I don't know. Just thought I would bring this to attention.

Ah, so that could be why there are two options. One for just player pawns, the other for pawns in general, maybe?

Yes, looks like it. I was rather taken aback when I saw the scriptedpawns with no weapons and it took me a while to work out the reason.

For games with Monsters I advice you to not mess with "Engine.Pawn" because monster need to switch weapon on pickup or else a SkaarjSniper in a tower goes useless (MH-Kroogar, etc.)
