Super Key Binds!! =D

I was talking to Desert Eagle the other day and I thought this would be a useful topic for everyone.
I'm talking about key binds =D Yeah! These are the basic key binds. There are more complex commands, but I don't really know them too well. I'll add more information as I come across things.

A bind is a little bit of code you type into the autoexec.cfg file that sets a key to do an action or to type a line of text into the chat. The autoexec.cfg file can be found in the UrbanTerror\q3ut4 directory. You'll want to right click on the file and you can open it in any text editing program you like. I prefer notepad. Here is what my set up is currently:

Code:

bind [ "ut_radio 3 3 I need a medic! Status: $health Located: $location"
bind ] "ut_radio 9 9 Stellar!"
bind p "ut_radio 9 6 No problem!"
bind . "ut_radio 9 7 Kill thief!!"
bind / "say Go to ^1duckofdeath.darkbb.com/ to join."
bind , "ut_radio 2 5 Cover me! I'm at $location."
bind 0 "ut_itemdrop kevlar"
bind 9 "ut_itemdrop flag"
bind k "ut_radio 5 1 Enemy camping at $location"
bind l "ut_radio 5 5 Enemy incoming at $location"

Making Binds
Basically you type

Code:

bind [i]key command[/i]

In making radio binds, the two numbers correspond with the two numbers typed ingame for the selected call. If you wish to change the text associated with a specific radio bind, type it after the numbers.

Code:

bind o "ut_radio [i]# #[/i]

If you wish to say something to everyone type

Code:

bind [i]key[/i] "say [i]text[/i]"

If you wish to say something to only your team, type say_team instead of say.

If you wish to drop an item type

Code:

bind [i]key[/i] "ut_itemdrop [i]item[/i]"

This can be useful for dropping kevlars if you wish to increase run/jumping time. Also, if you wish to hand the flag off to another player this can also be used. You can also drop a weapon by typing ut_weapdrop instead of ut_itemdrop. If you create a weapon drop bind, nothing is needed where it says item.

If you wish to toggle 2 weapons type

Code:

bind [i]key[/i] "ut_weaptoggle [i]weapon weapon[/i]"

You can specify primary, secondary, sidearm, knife, grenade, bomb. This can be used so that the you do not have to go through all your weapons to choose which you wish to switch to if you run out of ammo, want better aim, etc.

Notes
- // typed before a line of text tells the game to ignore that line. Thus, these lines can be used for organization.
- You can bind one key to multiple console commands using a semi-colon ( ; ) between commands.
- Typing wait between semi-colons tells the game to wait a brief period of time before executing the next console command. Example:

Code:

bind o "ut_radio 6 9 I've got a hot potato!;wait;ut_itemdrop flag"

- "ut_radio lol" is a hidden radio call. A cycle of 3 laughs.

Colors
To change the color of your text there are numbers, each corresponding to a color. These only work for ut_radio and say_team. The ^number goes in front of text, and all text following that number will be changed that color unless changed by another number.
^1 | Red
^2 | Green
^3 | Yellow
^4 | Blue
^5 | Cyan
^6 | Magenta
^7 | White
^8 | Black

Miscellaneous
$location [types your location]
$status [types your health status]
$weapon [types your weapon]
$crosshair [types name of player under your crosshair]

Yea, it looks awesome.
I still need to try it

if you guys have questions feel free to post them and I'll answer them for ya =]

So let's say, your example of Hot Potato, does the radio really I say "I've got a hot potato" or is it just the text?

no. the text does not change the radio call, it just changes the text posted when the keybind is activated.

Thought so

I know, it's unfortunate =P

i got another bind:

/bind 7 say go away you turkey

here is a good one for ya...

/bind f "ut_itemdrop FLAG;ut_radio 6 9;wait 100;ut_radio 2 7



basically it drops the flag, says "here" and then says "go for the objective"... only fully works if flood protect is off tho.
