How to bind key combinations? + Some other questions

[UniqPhoeniX]

Is it possible to bind key combinations? Like shift+Q or CTRL+1?

[next_ghost]

No. Ctrl, Alt and Shift are bindable keys, not key modifiers.

What about making holding a button use a different .cfg?
About using binds to change name, is it possible to use 2 buttons to scroll between names, and 3rd button activating it? Without spamming the server?
Besides "echo", is there another command to show a message on screen, but so that it doesn't show in console?

EDIT: Is it possible to bind a key to just enter text into "say" or "say_team"?
Would this work?
set name1 "echo ^2***^5name1^2***;bind 1 name name1;bind 2 vstr name2;bind 3 vstr name4"
set name2 "echo ^2***^5name2^2***;bind 1 name name2;bind 2 vstr name3;bind 3 vstr name1"
set name3 "echo ^2***^5name3^2***;bind 1 name name3;bind 2 vstr name4;bind 3 vstr name2"
set name4 "echo ^2***^5name4^2***;bind 1 name name4;bind 2 vstr name1;bind 3 vstr name3"
vstr name1

set name1 "echo ^2***^5name1^2***";bind 1 name name1;bind 2 vstr name2;bind 3 vstr name4

just set the quotes in the right place and you are set.
But remember there are loads of servers out there that will kick you if you change your name to often and/or to fast.

[UniqPhoeniX]

Well this way I can change name just once after I have chosen the right one.

Hmm. I'll think about coding support for such bindings. Don't try to beat me

[UniqPhoeniX]

Wait... why do the quotes have to be like that?
Oh and: Besides "echo", is there another command to show a message on screen, but so that it doesn't show in console?

You seem to lack the basics of scripting and binds. Please use google to remedy that.

I use this for builder binds and it works:

Code: [Select]

set abuild1 "echo ^2***^5Overmind^2***; build overmind; bind RIGHTARROW vstr abuild2;bind LEFTARROW vstr abuild8"
set abuild2 "echo ^2***^5Eggpod^2***;   build eggpod;   bind RIGHTARROW vstr abuild3;bind LEFTARROW vstr abuild1"
set abuild3 "echo ^2***^5Acib Tube^2***;build acid_tube;bind RIGHTARROW vstr abuild4;bind LEFTARROW vstr abuild2"
set abuild4 "echo ^2***^5Barricade^2***;build barricade;bind RIGHTARROW vstr abuild5;bind LEFTARROW vstr abuild3"
set abuild5 "echo ^2***^5Trapper^2***;  build trapper;  bind RIGHTARROW vstr abuild6;bind LEFTARROW vstr abuild4"
set abuild6 "echo ^2***^5Booster^2***;  build booster;  bind RIGHTARROW vstr abuild7;bind LEFTARROW vstr abuild5"
set abuild7 "echo ^2***^5Hive^2***;     build hive;     bind RIGHTARROW vstr abuild8;bind LEFTARROW vstr abuild6"
set abuild8 "echo ^2***^5Hovel^2***;    build hovel;    bind RIGHTARROW vstr abuild1;bind LEFTARROW vstr abuild7"
vstr abuild2
Shouldn't quotes be around everything executed if you want to exec more then 1 command/subcommand, or to pass marks like ";" [space] and other commands without execing like: echo "bind 3 buy larmour"?

How to use center print (cp)? it doesnt seem to work

[Eli]

It doesn't Well at least not in binds... I wanted to use it too, but couldn't.

Just use 'Echo'

[daenyth]

On a side note, does anyone know why it doesn't work in binds? Is it reserved for only servers?

[Death On Ice]

A client side version of cp (center print) would be ninja.

Is it possible to bind key combinations? Like shift+Q or CTRL+1?

Put this in a .cfg file named shift+.cfg:

Code: [Select]

seta shift1 "exec shift2.cfg"
bind [key] "[old bind]"
bind shift "vstr shift1"
Put this in a .cfg file named shift2.cfg:

Code: [Select]

seta shift2 "exec shift+.cfg"
bind [key] "[new bind];vstr shift2"
bind shift "vstr shift2"
Replace the brackets etc with the stuff you want, and repeat for however many keys you want. Pressing shift again cancels it. Doesn't work perfectly, but it works.

[UniqPhoeniX]

I know that stuff, but its not quite as good. I am making a huge set of binds that way.
Just 1 thing: whats the difference between set and seta?

[kevlarman]

for the purpose you're using them, absolutely none.
