thanks to RL's complete command list, I was able to redo my Commander's Switch script.

I just think its funky and simple, for example a marine calls for a medpack, you just press space (to move your view to him), dial 995 into your number pad and click on the guy to heal him <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
It's also good when you want to spawn many objects of the same type, you can just aim your mouse where you want to go, dial in the code for it, click the mouse to place it and then just keep repeating pressing the last number digit and clicking the mouse to spawn loads and loads of whatever you desire.
All in all the wamma has done the community a great favour. I can't wait for what he's working on next <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
Thanks for the impulse list! very much appreciated.
If you really wanna get funky you add them all to the <b>kb_act.lst</b> in the <b>/ns/gfx/shell</b> directory. So you can set the keys in the Half-Life controls menu.

I think it's not an 'odd bug' but a cheating-prevention. Flayra said that he disabled some script-things to prevent script-cheating or however you call those things. But there were some issues with this prevention-method that harmed non-script-users... something about weapon-switching, not sure tho....
