Aliasing Commander Hotkeys

<div class="IPBDescription">Not for abuse, please read...</div> I want to know if it is possible to create a bind that will go to an ammo/med request, and select an ammo pack/med pack. That way when there is a request, it will quickly goto the request and be ready to drop the pack.

A few points. I am NOT trying to create a med spam script. I am NOT trying to abuse anything, just curious to see if this is possible. I am well accustomed to the hotkeys, and I can drop meds quite quickly that way, I was just curious to see if this is possible.

A link to this post: <a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=64417&hl=bind+hotkey' target='_blank'>http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/in...&hl=bind+hotkey</a>
It has been discussed before, but no one figured it out.

Now, with the disclaimers out of the way, here's what I know as of now.

This is my alias.

alias go2meds "impulse 125;hotkey88;hotkey59"

Impulse 125 = Go to health request
Hotkey88 = Go to Equip Menu
Hotkey59 = Select Medpack


This is what happens when the alias is used.
<From Console>
Unknown command: hotkey88
Unknown command: hotkey59

I've tried just binding a key to hotkey59, no go. Any ideas?

    Actually, the script you are suggesting would be somewhat of a medpackscript...

    Anyway, its fairly easy to use the standard keys...

    Three clicks, "Space", "e" and "s" I think...goes in a second.

    EDIT: Space being the go to last anything. As you see you can bind go2meds and the use e+s...

    agreed, using the keyboard for dropping buildings and stuff can save you some time. It only takes a little time to get used to it and it's worth it. Especially for dropping medpacks.

    Including a hotkey in a script(or a bind with multiple commands, one of them the hotkey) is disabled. Likely to prevent stuff like medspam of death.

    They are impulse commands because that prevents more than one of them being bound to a key. This is to prevent autospamming and so forth. So even though you aren't wanting to really abuse it, you can't due to the measures in place to prevent abuse.

    My guess is that you need to stick wait;s inside the commands. Half life's interpreter has difficulty processing commands if they're excuted too soon after each other.

    Although I can't really see any added advantage in a script like this.

    Well all you'd have to do is stick a 'forcecenterview' command in the script so the arrow is centered and whenever someone calls for a medpack you just would hit 'space' which is actually your script, and then quickly click and you will get a super fast medpack on the marine.

    Well only if you don't have anything happening anywhere else. Else you'll probably end up spamming meds on a firing turret or a RT under attack, lol. It annoys me how it doesn't cycle through all the alerts in the last 5 seconds or something. You often end up always going to the same thing when there might be 3 or so things triggering different alerts.
