Adds a holster/unequip animation when switching weapons (including HL2 weapons)! Perfect for players who enjoy using default HL2 weapons and want a little bit of realism. Optional to subscribe to HL2 Deployspeed animation/Gravity gun fix for better gameplay.
What does this addon do?
Check the thumbnail for a visual example. In short: when you switch weapons, your current weapon will first play a holster animation before the new one is drawn, instead of switching instantly.
Available Console Command(s)
• sv_weapon_switch_anim (0/1) - Enable or disable the holster animation when switching weapons.
FAQ
1. Does this addon conflict with TFA / CW2.0 / FA:S2.0 / ArcCW / TacRP / ARC9? No. This addon automatically ignores any weapons from these bases.
2. Some weapons still switch instantly! / It doesn’t work for all weapons. That happens when a weapon’s model doesn’t include a holster animation (named act_vm_holster). You’d need to ask the weapon creator to add one. There’s nothing I can do about it. For HL2 weapons, this is resolved if you use Half-Life 2: MMod - Weapon Replacements Redux.
3. This addon is breaking some of my other subscribed addons! First, try typing this into the console: sv_weapon_switch_anim 0 If the issue has been fixed after this, please leave a message in the comments or start a new discussion thread. Clearly describe the problem, and even better, tell me the conflicting addon. I can fix it ASAP. If the issue remains, then it's not my addon's fault. You'll need to look elsewhere. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
