Can anyone make this? (weapon names mutator)

I don't know squat about coding Unreal but I was wondering if I could learn enough to do a simple mutator such as this:

When you have hidden weapons and you switch it tells you the weapon name on your screen for a second.

How hard exactly would it be to have the weapon name stay on the screen, but maybe in a lower position like where the weapon bar would go along the bottom.

It would also have to be client-side where it wouldn't interfere with online play (don't want anti-tcc booting people because of something like that) and you wouldn't need it installed on the server to use.

Is something like this easily done or am I just asking for a whole lot of confusion and headache.

It sounds like it would be quite possible, except for the network stuff. Any client-side addon is going to be picked up - after all, aimbots are client-side addons.

EDIT: Actually, I have heard of some people getting aimbots past, though I don't see how that's even technically possible, maybe there's some way to do it that I'm not aware of - so maybe it'd be possible to get it to work online without it being detected.

The only way to get it to work clientside would be a hack basically. Even if you could get it past anti-tcc undetected, future versions would probably detect it. It doesn't make sense for a perfectly valid and useful mod to hack the system like a cheat. I think this would have to be serverside unless it was included in an official patch.

Actually now that you mention custom crosshairs...

That's one way you could do it. If you made a custom crosshair with the weapon name written on it then you could use that online. Looks like in the end you answered your own question :)
