Shortcut key to single barrel shotgun

[Hypersonic]

There are cases where single barrel is more desirable to use over double barrel. The trace density (traces per degree) is higher, so it's perfect for enemies farther away, while double barrel is ideal for in your face or lots of enemies at a distance. Having to press 3 twice is very time consuming, and time is of the essence in all the fast pace action of Doom 2. I hate having to use double barrel just because there isn't time to wait to cycle to single barrel. I'd like to have dedicated keys for single and double barrel, say 3 for single barrel, and 8 for double barrel. Is this currently possible with GZDoom?

Pull down the console and enter this:

Code: Select all

bind (keyname) "use shotgun"

Awesome, thanks! I put that in autoexec.cfg.
bind kp3 "use shotgun"
bind kp8 "use supershotgun"
Just like Quake 2 and 3.
