Feature request: Ability to choose vanilla behavior when switching to weapon slot 3 (the shotgun slot) #755

That's, switching to the highest tier of shotgun – i.e., the super shotgun in the case of DOOM II – when the player presses 3 on their keyboard (or whatever key is mapped).

I totally get the intentions with switching to the shotgun that was selected last when the player switches back to the slot.

However, for players with a very ingrained muscle memory (as well as in some hairy situations where you only want to use the super shotgun immediately) it becomes short of a nightmare sometimes.

(Obviously an exaggeration, just felt like an amusing expression of the experience.)


How about making it a console variable, like _vanillawepswitch or something?

Thanks. I'll consider this.
