ok new at the whole scripting thing. will i be able to bind one button to buy m4/ak like i used to?

stoke wrote..

Yes.. just bind one key to "buy ak; buy m4"

it will try buying both, but will only end up with one

errr. im no elite scripter, but you used to be able to make m4 and ak one button, because there was no slot 3 as t, and no slot 1 as ct. so you could put, ms4; ms3; ms4; ms1; (lots of aliases and waits also) so it could not buy the opposite teams rifle. now that there are no empty weapon slots, i dont think its possible to make it one button. actually, it would work, but it would buy you two weapons, so it wouldnt really. this is my opinion only, and until there is more info about these new 1.6 aliases proving otherwise, should hold true. =j

Uhm, you can't buy the ak47 as a CT and you can't buy the m4a1 as a T so it would buy just one of the two guns so it would work just fine :P

New commands. Nice. Buyscript. Small. Nice. Vocabulary. Small. Nice.

Well, at least valve has put in a way to make non-laggy buy scripts. I really don't give a rip if they switched the numbers around though, since I have scripts for each weapon i usually use =)

as far as i know, and like i said, the aliases that come out for 1.6 could be different, but right now, the way it isafter many other commands making ms=menuselect, blah blah)

if you make an alias and call it "ak" you would make it buy; ms4; ms1;.

if you make an alias and call it "m4" you would make it buy; ms4; ms3;.

if you then make a bind to a button and alias it "m4; ak" in 1.5 when you push that button, it buys whichever team you are on's appropriate weapon. if i used that same script in 1.6 the way it is now, (having enough money) as a ct, i would have an m4 on the floor, and a famas in my hand. as a t, i would have a scout on the floor and a galil in my hand.

the way 1.6 is now, one awp script will not buy the same thing on t and ct.

the alias "m4" doesnt tell the game what gun to buy (at least in 1.5) it tells the game what menu selections it should make. if the selections are different, you get different guns.

my script for a deagle and the goods is still called "deaglex", but when its in 1.6 i get a different pistol. =j

hello captain obvious

[jismify]

was that the first post you read in this thread?

hello king of cynicism?

no one has told me that this is correct yet, and, two people have told me im wrong. im making a point. sometimes the obvious ones are the easiest to argue.

thanks for shopping csnation. =j

the admin system is still screwed up - admins wont be able to control weapons any more

Admins having alittle less power is bad?

[Lestat]

nope, if you actually read the thread, you would see that I have had 2 posts early in the thread.



so, once more, if you have actually *read* what has been talked about, you would see that as it is now, currently in 1.6, you would buy two guns. the only way to get around it really would be to use another alias to toggle between teams, rebinding certain keys each time to the different team specific menus. At least that would be the most elegant solution.



Hence, why valve seems to be willing to help this situation out by creating gun specific built in aliases, so that the menuselect number differences will not have to come into to play what so ever when it comes to buying a gun. Now we would be back closer to the way it is in 1.5, and also a few 1.6 updates ago. Also, this would have the added up side of not having to worry about menu closing scripts, supposedly.



But then again, I have just repeated what has already been said a couple times. : )



welcome to csn. take a seat, have a cookie

THERE IS A GOD!!!



I can die happy

uh... I think its nice that valve is adding aliases for us but... I dont think they will be as good as the ones some of us are using know w/ 1.5. For example right know I hit the same key to buy either a ak or m4a1. If I have to deal w/ aliases like ak47 & m4a1 this will meen I will have to use more keys on my keyboard to accomplish the same thing. I already outa freak'n keys here. This is gunna f' up my system. Unless valve is smart enough to see this coming and make alaises like akm4 and mactmp. This propbley wont be a big deal to people who only ever use a couple of weapons, but those that want binds 4 a lot will have to thin the hurd.

[RaptorRage]

I think you can bind two or more weapons to the same key, so for example you could put AK and M4 on the same key and would only buy the one specific to the team you are on.
