Change weapon slot selection order without changing scroll's

[Nevander]

There are two main ways to select weapons in ZDoom, one is with next or previous weapon bindings and another is with direct binds to the slots (i.e. weapon slot 1 to give you weapon A and weapon B). I have noticed that the order you scroll though the weapons using next/previous is matched to the order set up in the player class using the slots there. Pressing a key for the same slot also abides by this order set within the player class.

However, I want to change this behavior so that I can set a direct bind to bring up the other weapon first and not in the order in the player class. In my mod I have these slots assigned:

Code: Select all

Player.WeaponSlot 1, "64Chainsaw", "64Fist"
Player.WeaponSlot 2, "64Pistol"
Player.WeaponSlot 3, "64Shotgun", "64SuperShotgun"
Player.WeaponSlot 4, "64Chaingun"
Player.WeaponSlot 5, "64RocketLauncher"
Player.WeaponSlot 6, "64PlasmaRifle"
Player.WeaponSlot 7, "64BFG9000"
Player.WeaponSlot 8, "64Unmaker"

This means when scrolling with next/previous the order is Chainsaw, Fist, Pistol. I want this to stay but only for scrolling. If I were to press my binding for weapon slot 1, it will also give me the fist. I want to change this so that pressing slot 1 gives me the first weapon that being the Chainsaw but leave the scroll order unchanged.

I tried doing Weapon.SlotPriority 0 for the Fist and then Weapon.SlotPriority 1 for the Chainsaw but it didn't change anything, which is confusing since the wiki makes it sound like Weapon.SlotPriority is exactly what I needed but apparently not.

Is this even possible to do?
