Weapon Priority System

[Lead]

Currently, the bot relies on either the gamemode or bot code to switch weapons.

Weapon Priority would allow users to add weapons to the gamemode configuration, allowing users to define if weapons are projectile, melee or hitscan (possibly categories such as sniper and smg?) and their priority for pickup.

The bot would be able to switch between weapons depending on which is stronger (set by pickup priority), and if needed, switch weapons depending on the situation.

Melee weapons may have an issue where the draw animation disallows the bot to switch back to their previous weapon and primary attack. To fix this, the bot could have a delay before switching back.

Bots would also be able to pick up weapons in gamemodes that have weapon pickups (if the weapon is stronger than their current one), such as Quake III and other deathmatch gamemodes.
