W:ET - Command map toggle

[Thor]

This is a line of code that can be used to toggle the command map without having to hold a key to keep the map in view. This is very useful for use with mortars.

 

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Command Map Toggle
// keeps command map displayed until second keypress
// binds	g
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

set mapout "+mapexpand; +mapexpand; set togmap vstr mapin" 
set mapin "-mapexpand; -mapexpand; set togmap vstr mapout" 
set togmap "vstr mapout"
bind g "vstr togmap"

hey look it's code i wrote =D

[Bennett Talpers]

Just for cleanliness purposes, I would prefer making this:

set mapout "+mapexpand; +mapexpand; set togmap vstr mapin" 
set mapin "-mapexpand; -mapexpand; set togmap vstr mapout" 
set togmap "vstr mapout"
unbind G
bind ' "vstr togmap"

 

Look like this:

 

unbind G
set mapout "+mapexpand; +mapexpand; set togmap vstr mapin" 
set mapin "-mapexpand; -mapexpand; set togmap vstr mapout" 
set togmap "vstr mapout"
bind ' "vstr togmap"

 

It's less error prone to have the unbind first.

lol why unbind 'G' if you are going to use ' to bind the toggle to ??

 

it's not strictly required to 'unbind' a key in order to bind it, but in all my ET code i 'unbind' in the line before i 'bind' -- do you think it's better to have the unbind a few steps away from the bind? my autoexec also has an "unbind all" line before it calls my general binds cfg.

ty i could use that

Just for cleanliness purposes, I would prefer making this:

set mapout "+mapexpand; +mapexpand; set togmap vstr mapin" 
set mapin "-mapexpand; -mapexpand; set togmap vstr mapout" 
set togmap "vstr mapout"
unbind G
bind ' "vstr togmap"

 

Look like this:

 

unbind G
set mapout "+mapexpand; +mapexpand; set togmap vstr mapin" 
set mapin "-mapexpand; -mapexpand; set togmap vstr mapout" 
set togmap "vstr mapout"
bind ' "vstr togmap"

 

It's less error prone to have the unbind first.

 

I do have the unbind G in my .cfg but not directly above my line of code as you suggested. I actually use numerous .cfg files and have one for every server I play on, due to server setting and mouse sensitivity and I have a comp .cfg for scrims. I made a .cfg that will scroll through the various .cfg files I have and then once I find the one I want I can select it and it will load the settings I need.

 

Here is an example of how I do my unbinds in my .cfg files:

 

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// =FA=Thor.cfg
// last updated:  6 Aug 2009
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

name "^0=^7F^0|^7A^0=^7Th^4o^7r^4!"
echo "^0=^7F^0|^7A^0=^7Th^4o^7r^4! ^sSettings ^7loaded^1!"

unbind F5			// Medic
unbind F6			// Field Op
unbind F7			// Engineer Mp40/Thompson
unbind F8			// Engineer riflenade
unbind F9			// Panzer
unbind F10			// Mg42
unbind F11			// Auto screenshot
unbind F12			// Record demo toggle
unbind g			// Command map toggle
unbind b			// Fps toggle
unbind MOUSE7		        // weaponbank 6
unbind MWHEELDOWN		// weaponbank 3
unbind MWHEELUP	                // weaponbank 5
unbind i			// Player stats toggle

 

This way when I open up a .cfg file for editing, the first thing I see are all the keys that that particular .cfg uses and the functions of each key. I found this to be very helpful for trouble shooting and editing.
