Binds, Commands, Cvars & Scripts

[Foo]

Info added to the Console page over at Q4W.

[Madvil]

It might be posted already but what's the command to hide the weapon model? ^.^

[DooMer]

ui_showgun 0

[Madvil]

Thanks

Why doesn't the console open with the ~button :icon33:

[Fjoggs]

com_allowconsole "1"

or else you have to hold ctrl+alt aswell.

aasStats shows AAS stats

What does this ^ mean? As Q4 doesn't have MP bots, does the aas relate to something else?

[rgoer]

aas is used by the single-player monster AI

some people didn't trim the extraneous crap out of their cfgs, so the cfgs going around as cvarlists have a lot of the SP stuff in there

Here are some more _impulse's. found some of them buried in a pk4 file. some of them I havent tested.

_impulse commands:

0 - gaunlet
1 - machinegun
2 - shotgun
3 - hyperblaster
4 - grenade launcher
5 - nailgun
6 - rocket launcher
7 - railgun
8 - lightning gun
9 - dark matter generator

13 - reload
14 - next weapon
15 - prev weapon

17 - Ready to play
18 - center player view
19 - Scoreboard / Show Objectives
20 - Toggle team
21 - Toggles Waiting Room / Spectator for Tourney
22 - Spectate

28 - vote yes
29 - vote no
50 - use flashlight

OK, so how would you go about setting it up so that each weapon has its own crosshiar color? I'm sorry to be asking folks to do the dirty work for me, but I've never really used scripts before, since in the past, regular old double binding was possible.

[Recoil]

You can't, seems in doom3 & quake4 you can't set/alias a command with any _impulses in it, they are not recognized, same way you type in _impulse7 in the console, and it's an unrecognized command, but if you bind it to a key, and press that key, it magically works.

probably some form of anti-quickscripting, much to my dismay =\

i really hope someone finds a workaround for this.

so as is, _impulseX only works when bound by itself to a key.

anyone got a way to circumvent this? =\

[Oeloe]

That sucks. Luckily i don't use drawgun 0 and different sens for different weapons in Q3. Real double binding (holding an already binded key together with another to give it another function) would be even nicer than multiple commands i.c.w. weapon selection commands (which is obviously required too). I hope this reached Id/Raven and that they will do something about it...

If vstr type cycling isn't available for weapons binds, you could always use something like this:

imp4.cfg:
bind "x" "_impulse5; exec imp5.cfg"

imp5.cfg:
bind "x" "_impulse4; exec imp4.cfg"

Getting the weap binds to work at all right now seems to be the problem though.

or use the ua_ thing rgoer posted

[Mogul]

I figure that the ua_ thing is the way to go, but I still have no clue how to get it to switch weapons and change the crosshair color simultaneously.

[rgoer]

I thought maybe this would work:

Code: Select all

seta "ua_bindRail" "bind 'x' '_impulse7; set ua_toggleRebind vstr ua_bindRocket'"

seta "ua_bindRocket" "bind 'x' '_impulse6; set ua_toggleRebind vstr ua_bindRail'"

seta "ua_toggleRebind" "vstr ua_bindRail"

bind "x" "_impulse7; vstr ua_toggleRebind"

but it doesn't

Yours won't work either, R00k. These stupid _impulse commands only work when they are the only thing in a key-binding. Yarr. I'll get it sorted though...

[Mogul]

Good news man. Thanks.

[R00k]

Thanks.

I was talking to rogz0r.

[R00k]

I know, so was I.

UpsetChaps has this to say, but it's a pretty shoddy workaround:




Quake 4 appears to restrict commands preceded by a _ and allows one _command per bind, this obviously causes problems when scripting.


Weapon Cycle Script
To overcome the single _command per bind (and what appears to be restricted use of _commands in scripts) and until we find a better way here's a very crude workaround; not very usable to be honest.

Use mouse up to cycle explosive weapons, middle mouse button to cycle rapid fire weapons, mouse down to cycle slow fire weapons. To overcome the single command per bind (and restricted use of _commands in scripts) you need to confirm your weapon selection after cycling by pressing W.


//Requ!em: ugly/bodged quick select weapon 'alias' replacement

set SelectExplosive1 "bind w _impulse5;echo "weapon 5";set SelectExplosive vstr SelectExplosive2"

set SelectExplosive3 "bind w _impulse8;echo "weapon 8";set SelectExplosive vstr SelectExplosive1"
set SelectExplosive "vstr SelectExplosive1"

set SelectRapidFire2 "bind w _impulse4;echo "weapon 4";set SelectRapidFire vstr SelectRapidFire3"
set SelectRapidFire3 "bind w _impulse5;echo "weapon 6";set SelectRapidFire vstr SelectRapidFire1"
set SelectRapidFire "vstr SelectRapidFire1"

set SelectSlowFire1 "bind w _impulse1;echo "weapon 1";set SelectSlowFire vstr SelectSlowFire2"
set SelectSlowFire2 "bind w _impulse2;echo "weapon 2";set SelectSlowFire vstr SelectSlowFire1"
set SelectSlowFire "vstr SelectSlowFire1"

bind MWHEELDOWN "vstr SelectSlowFire"
bind MWHEELUP "vstr SelectExplosive"
bind MOUSE3 "vstr SelectRapidFire"

edit: Didn't notice. I wasn't aware D3 restricted the underscore commands too. I never tried to write any scripts for Doom.

[Zyte]

i want mouseaccel and simpleitems :E

[kawaii]

I've read the above posts, but I still don't know how to bind a crosshair, fov and sensitivity to a weapon. In quake 3 it was very easy.. but in quake 4 it's pretty difficult.
