DisplayNameTag Weapon bool

[Major Cooke]

Just as it says.

---

Currently, I have something of an elaborate weapon system scheme that's devised to override any and all keyconf files by going through each actor class and pulling the current SlotNumber and SlotPriority, organizing a list in order and basically performing the Pick*Weapon functions. This allows global switching between ALL weapons and basically tells the keyconf slots to jump off a bridge.

This has to be done by hijacking whenever a player presses a 'slot' or 'weapnext/prev' key, and sending a network event to perform the weapon switch instead of the player functions. Then the weapon is loaded into an object that marks the time, the weapon, and makes the UI tick function call DisplayNameTag, and WorldTick then deletes it right after.

It must be done this way since other player classes may be involved. I intend on making this an external addon anyone can hook up anywhere, but it's only useful if KEYCONF is involved. Otherwise there's no point in having it, truthfully. Some mod authors will not allow their KEYCONFs to be deleted so this is the only way to do it aside encouraging people to go in and delete it themselves.

When I checked the code for DisplayNameTag, I noticed it's only for items. Can we get this for weapons please? That way it respects the DisplayNameTags cvar.

Here's the code for how I got it to queue up to print the message if anyone's interested. I removed the irrelevant stuff though.
