WARNING: PERS_HWEAPON_USE causes client engine to eat keys

[bani]

A warning to anyone planning to change the usage of PERS_HWEAPON_USE in their mod.

If your client's current snap has PERS_HWEAPON_USE set, eg:

Code: Select all

cg.snap->ps.persistant[PERS_HWEAPON_USE]

the client engine will stomp the client's movement keys (cmd.upmove, cmd.rightmove, cmd.forwardmove). This includes demo playback!

In ET, PERS_HWEAPON_USE is enum as 12. If you are making a TC mod and have your own enums for ps.persistant[], keep this in mind. It may save you a lot of grief later
