How Should F4 Work?

soldier_47

<div class="IPBDescription">Looking for correct(?) key bindings</div> Often in games I hear frustrated Marines say, "Let's just F4 and get this over with." Whenever I have tried pressing F4 either nothing happens or I trigger one of the stock voice commands. I had a look at my config. This is what it includes:

bind "F1" "impulse 10"
bind "F2" "impulse 11"
bind "F3" "impulse 8"
bind "F4" "impulse 12"
bind "F5" "impulse 80"
bind "F6" "impulse 81"
bind "F7" "impulse 13"
bind "F8" "impulse 15"

I don't remember ever binding those myself, so I am assuming they came that way. Does anyone know how they should be bound, or in particular how F4 should be bound so I can do my part and merrily end my misery in a losing match along with everyone else? And when do you press F4--at any time, dead or alive? Thanks in advance for any advice.

try
bind F4 readyroom

When people say lets hit f4. They mean, lets quit and chicken out. usually the default is f4 - readyroom. But you either A) Binded those or B) when to a server where admin and exec commmand on clients and did that to prevent f4 in some way.

If i remember correctly, its impulse 5.

Correct

yep, although "readyroom" is how it's bound by default.

Thanks for the help. I fixed it with:

<span style='font-family:Courier'>bind "F4" "readyroom"</span>

Now, another question. I read once somewhere that you can bind scripts that allow you to hit a key and say something that includes your current health/ammo status. Does anyone know the code that you insert to do this?
