Binding keys to say stuff in teamsay

Bashe · Post by **Bashe** » Mon Dec 20, 2004 10:45 am

All right, I want to bind some sayings to certain keys. I go like this, but it doesn't work:

bind kp0 say_team "I've got the flag"

It won't do anything when I press the key 0 on the far right side of the keyboard. What do I have to do to make it actually say the whole thing and not just one word?

It seems it is just like the hud messages in ACS. You have to use \ in front of the quotes. Like this:

bind kp0 "say_team \"I've got the flag\""

wrong, it's like this.

bind kp0 "say_team I've got the flag"

That's not right, either. They didn't work.

bind kp0 "sayteam \"I got the flag!"\"?

Hmm... Odd.

Mine worked for me. I tested it before I posted it.

Well, it works for Zdoom, but I actually want it to work with Zdaemon, which is like Zdoom 1.23. Is there a way to do that with Zdaemon? Viper's method does not work in that.

Good luck getting anything to work with Zdaemon.

Damn!

Can't you just put the binds into the ini?

Like he said, he is trying to do this with Zdaemon, wich is such an old version of zdoom, only made buggier and shittier, and alot of zdoom stuff tends to have issues in it. Get Skulltag!

I've got that, but it tends to be unpopulated half the damn time.

Oh, whoops, didn't read the whole thing, I see the problem now... ZDaemon uses the old ZDoom with the i_remapkeypad function in it, which when turned on always interprets the numeric keypad inputs as their non-numeric values.

So you've got two options:

1) In the console, type

Code: Select all

i_remapkeypad 0

and do what cutmanmike said.

OR

2) In the console, type

Code: Select all

bind ins "say_team I've got the flag!"

and leave i_remapkeypad as true. The second option will override any other bind you had set to the "real" Insert key, however.

That's what I did, but when I bound the text to a key in teamsay mode, it still comes up as a normal message (not red).

Have you tested this to see if the other team really doesn't see it? Like, start up a game with someone, join opposite teams, hit the key, join the same team, hit the key, etc.?
