Name: Switch Mutator Final Version
Version: Final
Compatibility: UT2004 no patches necessary
Description:
Basically, this mutator will allow you to switch places with a
non human controlled team member.

Basic use:
Lets face it, sometimes the bots know where to go better than we do. Thats why I created this mutator. It allows you to swap places with one of the non human controlled players on your own team. Better still, if they have the flag or bomb, you will end up with it after the switch also.

Only thing is, if you have the flag or bomb when you switch, the player you switch with will get it.

How it works:
The best way to get the mut to start working is to go to the settings page. You want to configure the input controls so
that you can map the switch function to your desired key. Scroll down, and you should see the SwitchMutator area of the
keymapping menu. Select whatever key you desire, and the swap function is all yours.

Using the mut:
This mutator only works during team based games, because you will be switching places with a team member. Also, you can only
switch players with a non human teammate.

Comments: Makes playing with bots all that much more fun!

Great job dude :up: but a few suggestions for a possible variant, future version

An ingame hud, when one sees the team members and their health, it could be to the side of the screen or something bots would have some sort of indicator that they are NPCs and are switchable, switching to them would allow u to controle them while an npc AI takes over controling ur character. This is just an idea, but what u have done so far is geat anyways

Yes it is the same mutator, but improved. I hadnt realized I changed the name, but now that I look at it... Sorry about that!

Yeah I was thinking about adding some stuff to the hud about who you want to switch to and all that, but for now I was just adding the ability to be able to switch quickly.

Could be a future improvement though, and Im glad you like it!
