Is Binding Of Marines Guns To Flashlight Allowed?

amigoch3n · April 2005

as far as CS is concerned, many servers have barred players from binding it. However, is this likewise for NS? would it affect the opponents fps if Mr.A binds it to his guns?

thanks alot.

SLizer · April 2005

Yup I havent heard that that would be against rules, be sure to check server rules although

Swiftspear · April 2005

IMHO anything else bound the key that is functioning to +attack is pretty lame. That was acctually one of the things I reccommended MP_blockscript "1" to block (as well as a whole range of utilitly scripts to be unblocked)

There is really no development stance on any of the issues that are commonly put up to question. Just follow the damn server rules and stop whining here, and if you don't like them, then go to some other server that lets you play the way you want to.

[edit] to clarify, if you get banned for binding flashlight to your +attack key, it is probably just because you are being annoying as hell, and has nothing to do with your opponents FPS.

i only came here and ask if its against the rules. if its not then alright. i didnt say i got ban or whatever. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='asrifle.gif' />
and since to date it is still not against it, thank you for ur words.

1) why would it be against the rules?

2) why would you WANT to do this?

if you think you are going to be able to 'affect the opponents fps' then you must be playing against people with computers so out of date that they should't be tryign to run HL on them any way.

/me is so frikken confuzled.

Like Swift said, I think it's just done to annoy the crap out of people.

Zunni · April 2005

I can't see any other reason myself...

To the original poster, can you explain why you would want to do this? You have piqued my interest...

CyberPitz · April 2005

It's like when you start a round in CS you start waving your knife ALL around, shooting randomly, hit someone, and you realize FF is on...and you get bitched at. They only do it cause they are freaking spazmaniacs....

That's the point I think \=

im not sure what the guy is talking about but i have a suspicion that he means a _special script that taps flashlight on and off with every bullet you shoot.

Hey this is Natural Selection. Binding various commands to various keys is prohibited. Implement mp_forcedefaultbinds and mp_communism now ! We absolutely need to give clueless server operators more ways to annoy people.

you need to stop making assumptions. many people in the ns community, like me, have never played CS or have only played it once or twice. you might want to explain what you're talking about before you go yelling at people. cause a lot of people are just staring at you blankly cause they have no idea what the hell you're talking about

Swift_Idiot · April 2005

Yeah the good old _special flashlight attack script. Without _special you really can't get any good flashlight/fire script action.

Try experimenting with +use and +attack as aliens too.

Binding anything to anything is legit.

liquidscript · April 2005

You could always bind flashlight to backspace, and then hold backspace.

Backspace one of the few keys on the keyboard that Half-Life lets fire repeatedly at a rapid rate. When holding backspace, you're actually sending impulse commands as rapidly as possible, which causes your flashlight to flicker on and off at rapid rates.

Try it.

PRTe · April 2005

as far as i know, since i was on the server when the person in question did it, i think he just bound +attack and impulse 100 in mouse1. i was wondering why the heck he kept asking me what the cmd for flashlight was <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad-fix.gif' /> . anyway, i think it is pretty damn lame to be doing something like that, just annoys everyone in the server. his bullletshots did seem rather muffled by the flashlight sounds though <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused-fix.gif' />

Will flipping on and off a strobelight seated behind my monitor have the same effect?

I'd much rather took about some kind of scorpion-type creature, that can inactivate its flapping ability (whilst still hovering); then a photo-induced epileptic-causing LMG.

MrRadicalEd · April 2005

It's not the act of binding flashlight to another key that is bad, but rapidly turning off and on the flashlight in some situations that is just not courteous.

I've been in games when kids flick their flashlights in marine start that don't bother me, but when you do that kind of thing around me when moving out to a hive or other similar situations where I(or anyone else wanting to play the game without distractions) don't want our positions given away any easier than it already is then that's when it should be considered "not allowed"..

again it all comes down to common courtesy for your fellow players.

No, he's always like that. Just like you're always annoying. >_>

So, I've never seen one of these _special flashlight scripts in action, did it really lag the other players that badly? Sounds kinda freaky. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused-fix.gif' />

Ok heres a question does doing it improve gameplay in anyway? If not its unneeded and if ppl find it annoying dont do it end of argument. Have so consideration for you fellow teammates.

If you are doing something for the sole perpose of being anoying then you deserve to get a ban imo.
