[solved] Is there a way to bind a key to "messagemode /" ?

[Deadbeat Engineer]

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 Expand


/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 Expand


/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

Code Select Expand

set ui_sayBuffer "/"
menu say

I have adminchat binded that way and works perfectly.

[Deadbeat Engineer]

Code Select Expand

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 Expand


menu say

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

Code Select Expand

bind t "reset ui_saybuffer; menu say"

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.

Code Select Expand

bind t "reset ui_saybuffer; menu say"

Thank you. I'll see how that works.

It works! KillerWhale, thou art my hero.
