Declined fix beggars exploit

[Randy]

if you load up three rockets with the beggars then do a partner taunt you can hold onto your rockets indefinitely and look around corners in thirdperson. as soon as you stop taunting you fire all 3 rockets. it's reminiscent of the highfive+demo stickytrap thing that was patched by valve a while ago.. is there anything you guys can do about this until a permanent fix is released?

don't need to ban the weapon outright but banning the partner taunts when beggars is your active weapon would work temporarily

That sounds pretty complicated, it would be easier to ban the weapon until Valve fixes it.

I think Bottiger did that when the gunslinger and red tape recorder had some severe glitches associated with them. Worst case scenario the weapon isn't allowed for a week or so

It's not even worth doing anything in my opinion.

Just wait for Valve, won't take them too long and this exploit isn't widespread.

More of a valve issue than a Skial issue.

I do not know how to detect partner taunts. And I can only remove the taunt status after it goes through, so I don't know if it will stop the 3rd person view. I could figure it out given time, but Valve might patch it in a couple of days.

If someone finds a public plugin for this, then I will add it.

Fair points. Would it be wrong to tell people who do it that it's against the rules? I would assume this falls under the 'No exploits' rule.

Fixed exploit that allowed Beggar's Bazooka to indefinitely hold rockets in the chamber without misfiring.
