Two actions on one button

[DSX]

So i am using both Flashlight++ and Ultimate DoomVisor addons. I like the option in UDV where you can set the flashlight to use Accessory power. That way you have to be a bit mindful about not using it all the time. But it only works on the stock flashlight, not on Flashlight++.
So my idea is to bind both flashlights to the same button. Flashlight++ is so bright that i hardly notice the other flashlight is on as welll, but i do get the battery drain that way.
I read some topics about using alias but i can't wrap my head around it.
Could anyone tell me how to go about it?

You don't particularly need an alias. You can use the bind command directly. Execute the command through the console:

Code: Select all

bind f "<command #1>; <command #2>"

Replace <command #X> with the commands for toggling the flashlight in those mods. For Flashlight++, the command appears to be FPP_Toggle. I don't know about Ultimate DoomVisor, though. You'll have to find it out yourself.

Thanks Blue Shadow for helping a fellow Doomer out!. It works like a charm. Just a shame i didn't think things through. I now do see the accessory power number decline while flashlight++ is turned on (together with the stock flashlight), but of course as soon as it reaches 0 only the stock flashlight will automatically switch off, not flashlight++. So i did learn something new today, but sadly it does not resolve the issue for me.

Maybe i can find a line of text in Ultimate DoomVisor (where it says what it does when accessory power reaches 0).
