can i store key assignments as a variable? like....

alias rox e

then use it later like

bind rox "use rocket launcher"

??

idk about the syntax exactly... but if something like that was possible, it could help me make more complex tdm scripts with more freedom to change so i could hand them out to people easier

Bind e "use rocket launcher" doesn't get the job done? :???: This is like trying to scratch your butthole with your elbow when you already have an Acme brand butthole scratching glove on your right hand. Maybe you should explain a little more as to what you're trying to do. Looks very unnecessary.

well im talking a tdm config where it might have binds multiple times in the same alias and going through like 20 lines of config to make sure you change every single bind embedded in the aliases seems kinda shitty...

if i could just create a value for that, i could put the value in all those lines, and then separate the lines setting those values b4 or after in the config file to make them easy to change :)

same as using a zoom script, you CAN just set it to go to a certain fov and sens and stuff inside the alias, but you can also separate those values out to make them easier to modify

Yes, you can use custom variables to store numeric values, like the FOV and sensitivity examples.  But, I seriously doubt you can use variables to reference bindable keystrokes; you're getting into asking the Quake scripting language to become a full fledged programming language that understands all kinds of different data types. 

I'm guessing the best you could do would be to use something like

bind CUSTOMROCKETKEY "use rocket launcher"

or whatever.  Then tell people to use their text editor's "Find and replace" function to specify all the necessary keys.  If your scripts really are that complicated, I guess that could help you distribute them to people.

I'm still not 100% sure what exactly you're trying to do. At first I was going to suggest you try using several small additional config files to exec several commands all at once, but I don't think that's going to accomplish what I think (I think I think that I think I know anyway) you're shooting for because what you're probably trying to do would involve resetting binds if one weapon is searched for an not found. If you were to hit the bind to exec that one config and it couldn't find any of the weapons refereced, it would get a little confusing as to how to make that same config reset that key to whatever it is supposed to be afterwards. Or something? Fuck. I'm not sure I even know what the fuck I mean anymore.

Bottom line is that all a client can do is use "alias" and "bind" commands. Sounds like you're trying to create a 3rd process which would involve modifying the client to accept that input.

hm... well ive been really impressed with what the engine can do :) and it does work a hell of a lot like bash stuff im finding out while i learn more and more shell stuff :P

i figure SOME ONE would have a definite no or yes answer... i believe the engine could be capable of doing it, whether its implemented or not though idk :( gonna need some one who has done a lot of work with q2 engine code to answer this one with a definite yes or no answer....

and yeah using a replaceable string people could find and replace would be convenient for the first time setting the client up... HOWEVER what if they wanted to change a bind? cant really do a find/replace with the letter E inside a config xD

its this kinda thing that made me rewrite my zoom script (which i never use lol) because if i ever accidentally hit it... it would drop me back to my OLD fov instead of my current one, and drop me back to my OLD sens instead of my current one... so i created a new value for zoomsens and a new value for zoomfov which were seperate out of the aliases, you could set those easily without fussing with the script... and inside the script it would store the current fov and sens use the values i created, then when the button was released change fov and sens back to the stored values....

so with making things a tiny bit more complex, it makes things much easier to change around and manage in the end because i dont have to fuss with the script, i just change my values around which have their own dedicated line in my config... so being able to set a string to represent a key stroke would be soooo helpful with big aliases that involve binding key strokes

@foc i dont believe that executing different small configs for each bind would work out so well in the middle of an alias... and it would kind of defeat the purpose of trying to simplify things

As I said, all a client can accept is "alias" and "bind". I think what you're trying to do is reverse engineer aliases or something. Either way you're going to have to fully script it out somewhere along the process. But for distribution to others, putting a series of aliases and binds in one little mini config and then binding a key to exec that config or a chain of configs would probably be a lot less confusing for others. Then all they'd have to change in their own config would be:

bind e "use rocket launcher"
to
bind e "exec crazyshit.cfg"

If you go telling some people to add this or that to an existing config, inevitably someone somewhere will screw something else up and then have to waste half a decade trying to root it out and correct it. Probably better to do the hard work FOR them and let them have to only change one little line at a time.

well... its kinda annoying because if some one needs a team config, if they ask me, i have to take my team config, go through it line by line, and set it all up for their binds :/

it would be so much easier to leave ALL the aliasing and shit seperate... and just have a group of like 5-10 lines thats just setting binds, because it doesnt take a genius to figure out how to set one simple bind, but it does take some time to read through some one elses aliases and simple scripts to figure out how exactly they work and what you need to change

In my brief forray into team play in late 1998, I created some configs with a similar DRY motivation.

NOTE: Some of what these binds were doing was compensating for what would now be done with $LOC capability in modern Q2 clients.

So the binds themselves are pretty useless, but they provide some level of examples of dynamic rebinding:

Code: [Select]
// teamcore.cfg

echo "...compiling teamcore"

bind 7 "drop rocket launcher; drop rockets;        say_team [] dropped rocket launcher; wave 1"
bind 8 "drop railgun; drop slugs;                  say_team [] dropped railgun; wave 1"
bind 9 "drop super shotgun; drop shells;           say_team [] dropped super shotgun; wave 1"
bind 0 "drop chaingun; drop bullets; drop bullets; say_team [] dropped chaingun; wave 1"

set tstr_Subj_Self      "[‹‹‹] temporarily holding at"
set tstr_Subj_SelfTo    "[] on my way to"
set tstr_Subj_Enemy     "[ƒƒƒ] enemy at"
set tstr_Subj_Respawn   "[‹‹‹]"
set tstr_Subj_XWeap     "[‹‹‹] I have an extra"
// [] is brown bar chars

set tstr_UpDn           ""
alias tset_UpDn_Upper   "set tstr_UpDn upper"
alias tset_UpDn_Lower   "set tstr_UpDn lower"
alias tset_UpDn_None    "set tstr_UpDn the"
tset_UpDn_None

set tstr_Respawn_Secs   "15"

alias tsay_SelfTo_BFG   "say_team $tstr_Subj_SelfTo $tstr_UpDn $tstr_Area_BFG area; tset_UpDn_None"

So that was the basic system, and then I had LOC data in a config file for each map, which would be exec'd at the start of the map, to customize the locations:

Code: [Select]
// teamdm1.cfg

// q2dm1 areas:
set tstr_Area_BFG       "bfg"
set tstr_Area_Blaster   "blaster"
set tstr_Area_SG        "shotgun"
set tstr_Area_SSG       "ssg/backway"
set tstr_Area_MG        "underground"
set tstr_Area_CG        "mega/armor"
set tstr_Area_GL        "lift/gl"
set tstr_Area_RL        "rl"
set tstr_Area_HB        "hyper/armor"
set tstr_Area_Rail      "rail/water"
set tstr_Area_Quad      "quad"

Obviously it was extremely limited, as it was based on weapon, however it did include the ability to specify "upper" or "lower" for each weapon dynamically.

Basically the thing worked by first hitting keys to configure the binding phrases, then hit a key on the keypad associated with the weapon to produce the compound phrase.

For example, if I wanted to say "I'm on my way to upper rl" it required these keys:

  HOME PGUP KP_7

"I'm on my way to lower rl" would be:

  HOME PGDN KP_7

"Enemy at railgun" would be:

  END KP_9

etc.


Kinda funky do-it-yourself LOC binds, but, anyway... it's an example of reasonably DRY dynamic bind configuration.

Using an alias is pretty straight forward. Before the loc's became common place I used a series of aliases for location commands.

Alias 1 would be RL so anytime the alias rl was used it said Rocket launcher. That would be assigned to the "1" key. Then for example the "2" key might be "ENEMY". "3" key would be IM. "4" Key would be Available. So if you hit the 2,1 combination it would say Enemy at Rocket Launcher. The combination 4,1 would say Rocket Launcher Available and so on and so forth. If i recall the config was made by Mason (Nogame). It could very well still be online somewhere.

:/ i already know how to make a team config... i have one toggle switch that changes all my weapon switch binds to drop binds and all my normal chat binds to team messages

the problem is doing that requires binds in the middle of aliases, and so if a key change is needed its a big pain in the ass to go through line by line and make sure i change everything

what i was asking, is if its possible to create a value to represent a key press... the engine understands stuff like E R F as key presses... so, can i make a value to represent a key press so i can change that value, like say i set a value ROX and i want it to represent the key press E so something like "set ROX e" and then when i go for my bind i can just "bind ROX use rocket launcher"

So you want to set a value for rox, which means "rox" represents an action.  Instead of having to manually type out bind e use rocket launcher, you make an alias for that action.  Alias rox "use rocket launcher".  Bind e rox.  If you give your config to someone else, and they use the key "r" for rockets, all they could have to change is the bind key, so they would make it say bind "r" rox.  Seems pretty straight forward to me?


Alias rox "use rocket launcher"
bind e rox

alias vaeisawesome "use blaster"
bind  v vaeisawesome

When I took over a config, I only had to do minimal editing.  All the aliases were set, I just had to change the keys that they were bound to, which took all of a few minutes to update.  All I had to update was the stuff in bold.  Very easy.

alias drl "say_team Dropping RL @ [${$loc_here}]; drop rocket launcher; drop rockets"
alias url "use rocket launcher"
alias drg "say_team Dropping RAILGUN @ [${$loc_here}]; drop railgun; drop slugs"
alias urg "use railgun"
alias dcg "say_team Dropping CG @ [${$loc_here}]; drop chaingun; drop bullets"
alias ucg "use chaingun"
alias dssg "say_team Dropping SSG @ [${$loc_here}]; drop super shotgun; drop shells"
alias ussg "use super shotgun"
alias dhb "say_team Dropping HYPERBLASTER @ [${$loc_here}]; drop hyperblaster; drop cells"
alias uhb "use hyperblaster"
alias dgl "say_team Dropping GL @ [${$loc_here}]; drop grenade launcher; drop grenades"
alias ugl "use grenade launcher"
alias dmg "say_team Dropping MGUN @ [${$loc_here}]; drop machinegun; drop bullets"
alias umg "use machinegun"
alias dsg "say_team Dropping SHOTGUN @ [${$loc_here}]; drop shotgun; drop shells"
alias usg "use shotgun"
alias dns "say_team Dropping NADES @ [${$loc_here}]; drop grenades"
alias uns "use grenades"
alias droc "say_team Dropping ROCKETS @ [${$loc_here}]; drop rockets"
alias dslug "say_team Dropping SLUGS @ [${$loc_here}]; drop slugs"
alias dbul "say_team Dropping BULLETS @ [${$loc_here}]; drop bullets"
alias dshel "say_team Dropping SHELLS @ [${$loc_here}]; drop shells"
alias dcel "say_team Dropping CELLS @ [${$loc_here}]; drop cells"
alias dnad "say_team Dropping NADES @ [${$loc_here}]; drop grenades"

alias +dropweaps "bind q drl;bind r drg;bind f dcg;bind e dssg;bind c dhb;bind 4 dgl;bind 5 dmg;bind x dsg;bind g dns" 
alias -dropweaps "bind q url;bind r urg;bind f ucg;bind e ussg;bind c uhb;bind 4 ugl;bind 5 umg;bind x usg;bind g uns"
bind shift "+dropweaps"

alias +dropammo "bind q droc;bind r dslug;bind f dbul;bind e dshel;bind c dcel;bind g dnad" 
alias -dropammo "bind q url;bind r urg;bind f ucg;bind e ussg;bind c uhb;bind g uns"
bind alt "+dropammo"
