TUTORIAL| Binding Keys - Useful Commands, Aspects and Chat Binds

Binding keys in games is how you can personalize the way you play. For example there are those who bind shooting to their mouse wheel and use a gun like the G3 and spray across maps. Personally I think that is really fucking lame and you get better accuracy and speed shooting normally, but it is their choice.

To bind a key you need to open the console by hitting the [`] button in the top left of your keyboard just under the [Esc] button

*NOTE - If console will not open then you need to go into Options/Game Options/ and enable console


Now to bind a key it is very simple and the command comes in a 3 basic parts:

1. bind command

/bind

2. key you want to bind ( for an example we will use "k" )

/bind k

3. the action or command you want that key to do ( we will use switching weapons for an example )

/bind k weapnext

Now when you press k you will switch weapons.


Most people ask me how I bind keys to say certain things such as; rules, warnings, the address to this website

To bind a key to say something it is very simple:

/bind say

As an example we will bind "k" to say "Hello my name is Kronophonix"

/bind k say Hello my name is Kronophonix

Now when you press "k" it will say in that in the chatbox.



Here are some keys that are not so basic and need more explanation if you want to bind to them.

Binding the mouse wheel: mwheelup, mwheeldown

Binding to buttons on the side of your mouse ( this depends on the mouse ): mouse4, mouse5

Binding to the function keys ( simply type "f" followed by the number ): f1, f2, f3, f4...

That cover most of the common keys people want bound.


Now for some common commands that are good for binding:

Switching weapon: weapnext, weapprev

Knife: +melee

Shooting: +attack

Those are handy to bind on things like mouse wheel.



These are some really good console commands that could possibly be bound on a key, but are really just good for tweaking your gameplay.

Hiding Text Chat :: To hide text chat you need this command

/cg_hudchatposition

This lets you change the x and y values of your chat position, the command for default chat position is:

/cg_hudchatposition 5 204

If you would like to hide the chat, play with the x and y values until it disappears. The command that works for me is:

/cg_hudchatposition 600 600


Removing Crosshairs :: Some servers will not allow you to do this, but it is good to know

/cg_drawcrosshair 0

To enable it again change the 0 to a 1


Changing Field Of View :: Really High numbers will make your game look fisheyed

/cg_fov 65

The default value for FOV is 65, but a good number to play on is 80

/cg_fov 80

like this:
/bind mwheelup weapnext;wait .5; weapnext

Thats the command if I remember it right. Feel free to edit the wait time between the first and second switch(in seconds).

All The Best,

very nicely done

I tryed that andit only switched it once like the regular switch key

Footwork: try this:

/bind mwheelup weapnext;wait 1;weapnext;

All The Best,
-Mudz

but will that make it switch when I wheel up?? can switch the "mwheelup" with "q"?

A usefull one is
bind E "weapnext; wait 2; weapnext"
If you tend to reload when you still have ammo in the clip and someone pops around the Conner this can save you as it interrupts the reload.

I use '1' to switch weapons, I know Momo also uses 1 so I promise it works :p But whatever floats your boats guys.

If I can recall, Momo and I use Q.

Uncorrect, today on Exailez Try-Out Momo himself told Exailez that he used '1'.

~ Vivaz

Uncorrect?

hmmm

Hmm...

Incorrect

Oh shit, congrats you corrected a fourteen year old Swede.....

hmmmm ....

im not following this vivaz hahaha

i dont understand this topic either :/ lol i use 1 and 2 xD i used to use q but i can quick swap faster with 1 and 2 by just hitting them at the same time xD
