Weapons Selection Gripe

<div class="IPBDescription">My biggest peeve and probably not yours.</div> As, well, with pretty much any HL mod, i love using the Last Used Weapon key because im a lefty for the PC meaning i use the IKJL format instead of the WSAD. So this comes to me as the most time saving thing on the planet. I have recently binded the keys 789 and 0 as the 1234 for my keyboard cause NS uses a completely new and original radio menu concept, and i thank you Flayra. That mouse wheel gets tiring.

But still, why does this not work? Is it because it would be too simple for the Skulk to Leap and switch to Bite, do damage then Leap away again? Was this deliberately cancelled by the coders so that the above manuver could not be executed?

Anyway, just askin ^_^

There was a crashing problem with this command that I couldn't fix in time. It would crash the entire server, believe it or not. It will be added in the future, don't worry.

in the meantime, do you use hud_fastswitch 1? that command makes you automatically switch to a weapon when you hit its button, rather than opening the weapon menu. Very handy; I'd be useless without it (any smart comments can bite my bum, right now).

so i can bind these hud_fastswitch1 thru 4 to my 789 and 0?

what it do? does it pull the weapon out without that annoying hud menu?

no.. just do "hud_fastswitch 1" in the console and after that it will do a direct switch when you press the weapon button..
