About Slot4 Fastswitch

TacOne

<div class="IPBDescription">Is this possible?</div> After reading <a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=63412' target='_blank'>this</a> post in the bug reports forum I came up with the following question:

Is it possible, within the HL engine, to make multiple-weapon slots fastswitch like this:
Lets assume I have a grenade and a welder in slot4 and is using hud_fastswitch 1. When I press the "4" key I get the grenade, if I then press "4" again it swithces to the welder. "4" again and it goes back to the grenade and so on.

Is it possible?

EZero

i believe somebody wrote a script for this

forgot where though heh....

FireStorm

yes, it's possible, it only needs a few lines of code client side.

But it's a minor issue so I think Flayra has better things to do

Mintman

It does that already doesn't it?

Least it did the last time I pressed my slot4 key twice.

TacOne

Yea, but you still have to press the fire key.

i believe the console command is

hud_fastswitch 1

i may be wrong

When there are 2+ weapons in a slot, it wont fast swich it. So, if you have a welder and a grenade, when you hit slot 4, it selects one of them in a drop down. To actually select the weapon, you have to fire. If you press slot 4 twice, it selects the other in the dropdown.

Add to userconfig.cfg.

Does that work with the anti-scripting code?

titanium

if mp_blockscripts is 1 it blocks "alias", "wait", ";", and "_special". so no, it won't work.

Delphi

Mines and grenades get used up, anyway. So I don't see the problem.

If you want to quickly switch between the Welder and, say, the HMG without hitting 4 twice to keep your mines, then you can just bind something to "lastinv", and prepare beforehand.

By the way, that script will work fine. But you don't need the spaces between the ; and the next word. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Its easier to read with the spaces.
Thx romano.

Forget the scripts!! This is a generic (well at least possible) feature of the HL engine seeming as I have hud_fastswitch 1 set in CS and it does JUST that. If I have an HE grenade and a Flashbang and I press 4, it will first bring up the HE, then the Flash.

uh..... DUH!
My post was not meant to inform you HOW to do, but to let you know it is POSSIBLE to do it without scripts. It not working in NS is not because it DOESN'T work but because the NS developers did not include it or facilitate it.
Next time read my posts more carefully!
