That is a bit odd, perhaps post the code you're using? For reference, all of the following work in 4.0 and 4.1;
Commands->Select_Weapon ( obj, Get_Powerup_Weapon ( Get_Parameter( "veteran_weaponPowerup" ) ) );
Commands->Select_Weapon ( obj, "Weapon_IFV_None" );
// Set the supercharged state
void dp88_AR_Tesla_Coil::setSuperchargedState(GameObject* obj, bool state)
{
if ( !m_superchargedWeapon.Is_Empty() )
{
// If we are setting supercharged to true then switch weapons
if ( state )
{
Commands->Select_Weapon(obj, m_superchargedWeapon);
primary_maxRange = m_superchargedWeaponRange;
}
else
{
Commands->Select_Weapon(obj, m_defaultWeapon);
primary_maxRange = m_defaultWeaponRange;
}
m_isSupercharged = state;
}
}

Passing an empty string to Select_Weapon makes them select the first weapon in their weapon bag. If they only have one weapon or the sniper rifle is their primary weapon (index 0) then your code is not causing a weapon switch and thus will not trigger switching time.
void WeaponBagClass::Deselect()
{
this->Select_Index (0);
}
0 is a valid weapon index, thus they select the weapon at position 0.

Calling it by itself does indeed work, however that doesn't leave them holding the original weapon.
Calling this:
const char *weap = Get_Current_Weapon(obj);
if (weap)
{
Commands->Select_Weapon(obj,"");
Commands->Select_Weapon (obj,weap);
}
Works in both 3.4.4, and 4.1 single player LAN, it only doesn't work in 4.1 when on-line (as a client to the server).

The script M00_Select_Empty_Hands does this
Commands->Select_Weapon(obj,0);
Passing 0 to Select_Weapon will cause WeaponBagClass::Deselect to be called. I should point out that index 0 in a WeaponBagClass is always empty (i.e. "No weapon") because of the code in the WeaponBagClass constructor.
Try passing 0 instead of "" and see what happens. (although from a reading of the code for WeaponBagClass::Select_Weapon_Name it may not make much difference)
Also you could try calling Select_Weapon once, then Send_Object_Update (from engine_tt.cpp) on the object then Select_Weapon another time. Although I dont know how it would work...

Why not just select weapon index 0 (empty hands) until they stop running? Then you only get the switch animation when they stop and it re-selects their weapon (plus you get some free post-running cooldown before shooting is allowed for free this way!)

Oh its only sniper rifles I was disabling, I'm fine with other weapons, sniper rifle you can walk slowly with, and n00b jet you have to remain stationary.
I'm just not a fan of people back peddling away from bears that only have melee for attack and firing the n00bjet through multiple bears as they do, have to make sure some skill is required.
