What????

I am not sure if it'll work, but try changing the "pick up kit" input key to the "movement" input key.
LIke this:

Change "c_PIDrop" to "c_PIThrottle"

I don't know where you'd find the "Pick up kit" coding, but all you have to do is change those, and I believe it'll work.

I looked around to find a file where it can be done, but I think this kind of function is hard-coded into the game's engine.

That won't work very well. Picking up kits won't work if you approach a kit with the pickup key already pressed. You have to let go of key and press it again. So simply walking over them won't work via this method as the player would have to momentarily stop movement and resume it again to pick up the kit.

Well it would be when approaching a kit on the ground, it automatically trade what you are using, similar to the "Soldier of Fortune"

I figured it'd work since the "c_PIThrottle" keys are "PressAndHold" instead of semiautomatic.
So because it would be automatic, your soldier would be trying to pick up weapon kits thousands of times per minute as he runs.

I can set my jet-pack fo fire off on c_PIThrottle and it would thrust me constantly as I run forward or backward.
[Which would be hilarious to see on bots.]

The intention was not to "Co-op or single-player", but to possible alternatives....

The bots were just something that was running through my mind at the time.
Your idea struck an idea that I want to play around with.

I enjoy making custom maps, including styles Counter_Strike to Bf42, and it would be nice if there was the ability to automatically pick up the guns.
I Have redrawn the map Fy Pool Day, help a lot.
I had to choose different option, was nice
