How can I make a custom keybinding to toggle a bool cvar?

[aJynks]

I have made a small UI mod.... in that mod there is a custom menu items where I can set an element of that UI to be on or off...

CVARINFO

Code: Select all

nosave bool cVarName = true;

MENUDEF

Code: Select all

Option "Text Label in Option Menu : ", "cVarName", "OnOff"

This all works as expected.. I have a menu option I can click to "on" or "off" and it changes the cvar to true or false and so the code can display the ui element or not....

I would like to make a hotkey do I can display or hide this element on a keypress... but can not work out how. I have tried a bunch of stuff, and will post if people want, I just don't want to put a mass of "not working" stuff here and confuse the post. (KEYINFO, event, aliais, etc etc... just can't get it to work)

: TL;DR :
How do I make a custom key to toggle a cvar bool?

thanks

I have this worked out.. Jay on discord was able to walk me through it.. I was pretty close on my attempts but just didn't know about something called "toggle" lol...

Basically... all I needed to do was this (for my case)

KEYCONF

Code: Select all

alias myCommandName "toggle cvarName"

MENUDEF

Code: Select all

Control "Option Name :  ", "myCommandName"
