key binding commands

[Jake_4997]

Is there anyway to bind a key to say "I need a ride", I used to do it in Enemy Territory to send specific messages to my team. For example in BF i wuld like 1 key press to send to my team "capping flag need support" or "capping flag, wait for me" etc etc. Anyone got an idea how to do this in bf2. thx.

Re: key binding commands

If you had a device that could perform macros (e.g. Nostromo n52) you could set it up to do the following:

~
game.sayTeam [number] [string]
enter
~

I used to do it with voice command software in Battlefield Vietnam (e.g. 'I need an engineer/medic!')

I've been trying to figure out how to do "spotted" on my joystick. At this point, I think I'm going to use AutoIt in order to create a macro program to run whenever a certain set of keystrokes is pressed (Ctrl + Shift + Alt + F10, etc).

For me, it's just (Q Down), (Left Mouse Click), (Q Up).

For you, it would be (Q Down), (Mouse Move 60 degrees from up), (Left Mouse Click), (Q Up).

Of course, the actual code is different, but this is the idea. Neither Nostromo nor Logitech's joystick profiler will allow you to simulate a left mouse click. Hence, my frustration.

But JoyToKey does.
