Key Binding question

[Caligari87]

I want to have the flashlight and Zoom bindings in my new level. I've imported the code into a keyconf, but I want to have the key changeable by the player. So the player can bind the flashlight toggle to 'G' for example and that key continuously toggles the light. In the original, the flashlight key was hard-bound to 'F'. HELP!

Hope someone understands that...

Nope, no help there. I've downloaded that page for reference at home.

For example:

Code: Select all

addmenukey "Flashlight Toggle" flashlight_on
alias flashlight_on "r_visibility 32;bind f flashlight_off"
alias flashlight_off "r_visibility 8;bind f flashlight_on"
defaultbind f flashlight_on

I want to be able to change the bind key so that it stays the same when the player toggles it, not be the same key. If they bind the key to G, it should not rebind to F when it changes.

Understand? I hope so.

There is a way you can do this.

Search for "bind" "toggle" in the forum... I remember someone making an alias that when you first use it, it rebinds itself to turn the feature off the next time you use it, and then resets.

From Hellspawn, modified from Enjay's zooming:

Code: Select all

alias hellspawn_scopein "fov 10; m_pitch .125;m_yaw .2; echo 12X zoom; set autoaim 0; set r_drawplayersprites 0; crosshairgrow 0; puke 700 1; rebind hellspawn_scopeout;" 
alias hellspawn_scopeout "fov 90; m_pitch 1;m_yaw 1; echo zoom reset; set autoaim .5; set r_drawplayersprites 1; crosshairgrow 1; puke 700 2; rebind hellspawn_scopein;"

defaultbind "uparrow" "hellspawn_scopein"
 
addkeysection "Hellspawn" hellspawn_keysection
addmenukey "Use Scope" hellspawn_scopein

Ahh, I think I understand now. As with LWM's example, you need to use "rebind."

Ah! Thanks. I'll try that. Hope it works
