mousewheel fastswitch that "works"

[sixfinman]

Hey guys, I posted this over at the steam forum (where it will quickly fade into oblivion thanks to 1000 new threads/day that focus on how much teh V4|v3z0rz 5uX0rZ)

anyway, I wrote a script to implement fastswitch for the mousewheel. It seems to work as well as the hard-coded version, with one caveat: I wrote it assumming the player has all weapons. Still, it's not hard to adjust.

Anyway, here ya go:

///////start of fastsw.cfg

unbind MWHEELDOWN
unbind MWHEELUP

alias weap1au "bind MWHEELDOWN weap1bd; bind MWHEELUP weap6u; slot1"
alias weap1bu "bind MWHEELDOWN weap2ad; bind MWHEELUP weap1au; slot1; wait; wait; wait; wait; wait; slot1"
alias weap2au "bind MWHEELDOWN weap2bd; bind MWHEELUP weap1bu; slot2"

So what does this do? Instead of wheeling and clicking, all you have to do is wheel to your desired weapon?

 

[sixfinman]

yeah, just wheel. fastswitch does need to be enabled in keyboard->advanced.

 

[Steve]

Cool stuff, dude.

 

[sixfinman]

A MUCH better way was provided by Pegas over at steampowered:

bind mwheeldown "invnext; +attack; wait; wait; -attack"
bind mwheelup "invprev; +attack; wait; wait; -attack"

 

[czrsink]

Isn't that the same as it was all those years ago for Half Life?

 

[douggrz]

if you bind "MWHEELUP" "invnext; +attack; wait; -attack" and "MWHEELDOWN" "invprev; +attack; wait; -attack", you can scroll through your weapons without having to click.

edit: oops, didnt realize someone already posted this

 

[silverstealth89]

um i aint into coding and all that but where do you put this

Half life was scroll and click just like HL2 is.

Half life was scroll and click just like HL2 is.

And because they used to treat fever with leeches we shouldn't use antibiotics/antivirals?

 

[sixfinman]

um i aint into coding and all that but where do you put this

just do

bind mwheeldown "invnext; +attack; wait; wait; -attack"
bind mwheelup "invprev; +attack; wait; wait; -attack"

in the console and you should be set.
