I think via vscript you can only do what Primary Weapon Enforcer already does, i don't know if there is another way to do it. Maybe a cvar or some property in the weapon scripts, i don't know.

Maybe can modify the "m_hOwner" props of the secondary weapon like you did before with carry items, I thinks this is the only way to do it via vscript.

The weird part is sometimes they use it without problems and sometimes not so much, if it is possible sure if not, that's ok too.

It may work but you also need to handle the logics to let/not let switch to secondary. My idea was lazier lol, it was to force the vanilla AI to use the sniper rifles like it does with the assault ones. Unless Valve hardcoded the weapon names for that behavior, which is also possible.

Exactly what I was thinking, and if that doesn't work, maybe force bots to use primary weapon until they run out of ammo ( clip not the whole reserve ) and that way work

I think it's worth a try, simple logic is best, and "Primary Weapon Enforcer" also has Reload problem.

Well there is an edit of the mod by a guy named RF or something like that, didn't seem to have that problem, but I might need to test it more

We are talking about the same mod, there is this comment "Reload bug where they reset their reload timer again when they attempt to switch is still here tho" in the mod, but it doesn't happen often.
for me I just don't let bots use sniper, actually I have never thought about how to handle the sniper problems before, lol.

Guys i did a quick test yesterday, apparently this behavior is hardcoded in the vanilla AI and it's linked to the WeaponType parameter of the weapon script.
I got the vanilla scripts of the ak47 and the hunting rifle and i swapped their WeaponType param in a test vpk. The bot with the ak started switching to the pistols when i spawned infected nearby and the bot with the hunting rifle did not.
So maybe the solution is make a weapon script addon with just the sniper rifles with their WeaponType parameter set to "rifle" instead of "sniper_rifle", but i don't know if that will affect anything else.

wow, what an easy trick!, all I can think of is that it will conflict with other weapon script mods.

Well, Honestly I can't believe I didn't think of that, I mostly thought it was something foe the game to recognize. I already have a mod that makes guns more realistic, If I make this change no one will ever know either way hahahahah

From working with scripts like this, it shouldn't affect anything, game already uses %change for spawning, RNG type stuff, and I don't think it will affect spawns and if it does we will see more sniper ones, which I don't mind, but I will test this

I could kiss you guys! Well yea, changing the weapontype in scripts is what fixed it and I will update my own mod with the change, it doesn't seem to change anything else, bots work as intended!

I made this for test.
enforce sniper or shotgun[drive.google.com]

Nevermind guys, i think the weapontype trick does affect the weapon spawns. Not all of them, probably the ones that are set to spawn only sniper rifles. For example in c2m2, on the table next to the gnome there is only one weapon instead of the usual two.
