Quake / Re: Techy Bind Help: Setting Variable For Current Weapon's Ammo?

digency: I had that in mind, but when you use a blaster and pick up a weapon, you automatically /use that weapon. Using %w is also necessary since the weapon changes automatically when you run out of ammo and try to shoot.

[vA]Ghost9: Yeah, this would be a nice bind. Asking for ammo is relatively easy in Ventrilo, but it's only used in clan wars. One button for asking for whatever ammo would be great. Feel free to check out my current configs, http://skene.arenanet.fi/ttnm/download/cfg-juzam.zip

Quake / Techy Bind Help: Setting Variable For Current Weapon's Ammo?

« on: March 20, 2006, 08:36:18 AM »

I'm trying to do the following..

Bind e.g. F2 to "say_team NEED SLUGS" or "say_team NEED ROCKETS" etc, depending on which weapon I'm using.

At least in Quake 2's Battle mode, I can use the identifier %w to return the weapon I'm using. For example, I can do "say_team NEED Ammo for %w", which would result in e.g. "NEED Ammo for Shotgun".

I can also set variables, e.g. set a_Shotgun SHELLS, so when I type "say_team NEED $a_Shotgun", I would get "NEED SHELLS".

So the variable I'm trying to set is a_%w, but that's the problem. How can I evaluate the %w inside a variable?

Suppose I have a_Shotgun set to "SHELLS" and I'm using Shotgun. Using say_team NEED $a_%w is not working. What to do?
