A37 Skirth, Link Gun and bots

Please make the bots use the A37 rifle to heal nodes and vehicles in Onslaught mode. Otherwise, I have other suggestions to take care of that, which I also think are valuable additions to the mod regardless:
1. Swap mode: allow us to exclude weapons from swapping (so the link gun will not be replaced)
2. Loadout: Enable to enforce a choice of weapon in the upcoming team loadout, so it is possible to make sure the bots always have the link gun in their loadout.

They already do this...
Code: Select all
A73 Skrith Rifle
function bool CanHeal(Actor Other)
{
if (DestroyableObjective(Other) != None && DestroyableObjective(Other).LinkHealMult > 0)
return true;
if (Vehicle(Other) != None && Vehicle(Other).LinkHealMult > 0)
return true;
return false;
}
and you can already prevent swapping in Swap by specifying no Ballistic Weapons for swapping for a certain stock weapon.

Where do I do that?

Ballistic options -> Swapping tab.
Edit: Looks like Bot code forces a healing bot to disengage if they're using a weapon flagged bMeleeWeapon. Removed that and added Bot code for the other weapons which had healing added in BallisticPro.

Thanks.
I re-read what you suggested; I posted about this because specifying no weapons
already didn't work for me 
What other weapons can heal nodes and vehicles?

E23, HMC, both staves - however, none of them have any bot code to tell them to do this in the last version.

Are you taking care of that for us offline folk?

How awesome are you? Very.
What about the swap exclusion not excluding?

There isn't a problem with Swap if you (as you should) use energy weapons as the Link Gun replacements. By design all weapons in that slot heal.
