About Changing Weapons

FireStorm

<div class="IPBDescription">and impulse 1</div> OK right now impulse 1 changes your current weapon to the next without showing the weapon selection menu on the HUD. I'd like to know if there's a command that would do the same but backwards?
For example: you have the knife, and the command would cause you to get the pistol.

(Also, a little suggestion: It would be nice if the name of current weapon was shown on the HUD when you cange it, for example: bite, parasite, leap etc, because when you use impulse 1 you can't always know what's your surrent weapon when you're an alien).

Edit: oops, wrong topic title :X

Delphi

Long planned, but never put in for various reasons.

hud_fastswitch 1 works wonders. If you knew that and was looking for something else, I can't help you. I'm not sure if hud_fastswitch works for the next/prev_inv (or whatever the command is), but if it doesn't, I'm sure I could write a script that will take care of that (yeah yeah, OMG, Scr1pt0r etc.).

FireStorm

Yeah, I nkow but hud_fastswitch works only for the keyboard..

Actually I already have such a script wut since there's impulse 1 I wonder if I could use that instead of the script..

And I'm not sure if the script would work on servers with have disabled the scripting, because there are some ; characters in it.

Status_Quo

I thought that (ridiculous) alias and ; ban was removed in the release...

I use this for fast switch on the mousewheel

bind "MWHEELDOWN" "invprev;+attack;wait;-attack"
bind "MWHEELUP" "invnext;+attack;wait;-attack"

couldnt play without it (and wont if it comes to it)

Yup. I use a slightly differnent script, but it does the same thing.
My only gripe is that its not always possible to tell what weapon you have as an Alien. Kinda sucks when you go to leap and Xeno instead, y'know? <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo-->

All the anti-scripting stuff is in an optional server variable that defaults to off.

Status_Quo

Yes, I know. I thought that only special and wait was included in the active version however.

FireStorm

This is my script, it works very well, but it would be better if such a way of weapon changing would be coded in NS...
