    Polarity changes on empty mag w/out reload

    Think i've found why im finding some of this polarity stuff a bit funky;

    1. Empty clip on positive polarity don't reload
    2. Switch to another weapon

    Expected result = negative polarity

    Actual result = positive polarity.

    Seems there's a window where the emptying of the mag triggers a change even though you haven't actually begun to reload.

    This happens quite a bit, where you empty your mag then switch quickly to another weapon.

    Thanks for pointing this out. Are you noticing this across all weapon types? I know there are some weapons that reload fast enough that even if you swap weapons/cancel the animation while it's reloading the reload will complete.

    Across the weapon types I've tried yes, so Marksman to rifle and vice versa. Also double barrel shotgun to marksman/rifle it also does it - it seems to be every weapon type ive tried although granted that's not all of them.

    - Rifle
    - Marksman rifle
    - DB shotgun

    Are 3 that it definitely does it with.

    To me it feels like the polarity should change on reload completion, not reload start - that would feel more consistent to me as a behaviour, as it seems to be triggering on reload start so if you switch fast enough the reload animation was never actually seen to the end user so it feels off for it to change polarity.

    Hope that makes sense, ive tried to explain the best way I can.
