Title: [solved] Is there a way to bind a key to "messagemode /" ?
Post by: Deadbeat Engineer on June 06, 2010, 04:33:33 am

I just simply want to set "/" so that when I press it it pops open the say and puts a "/" in, so I can type in the command. If not that's ok, it's just laziness on my part basically. Thanks for the help in advanced.

I tried:

Code: [Select]

/bind "/" "messagemode /"
but it just put a blank say out...

Something like this to be able to bind adminchat would be nice too...

Tremfusion got this working, they even created their own messagemode for admin chat.  However I don't think that there is any way to get this to work with the GPP, as of now.

Darn. Thanks anyway.

Spork, maybe if you do:

Code: [Select]

/bind <key> "messagemode /a "
it would work...

And thanks for the info Kiwi. I love how you instantly know that I want it for GPP ;D

Code: [Select]

set ui_sayBuffer "/"
menu say

But does that just open say, or does it open say with "/" already typed into it?

It takes less time to test than it does to post >_>

I tried what you proposed, and when i put

Code: [Select]

menu say
it opens up say with "/", but if I type anything different with t (messagemode) then next time it changes to that  :-\

Ah nice, I never knew that that existed.  What is the point of message mode then?

messagemode is say. It's what happens when you press "t". messagemode2 is say_team basically, it's what happens when you press y.
