+attack & cg_drawgun 0 for Mouse1

[JuLeZ']

Hello,

 

is it possible to bind +attack and cg_drawgun 0 to mouse1, so that the weapon disappears

when I shoot and appears again when I stop shooting?

 

 

 

Thank you in advance!

[Raziel]

try it out.

bind Mouse1 "+vstr mouse_a mouse_b"
set mouse_a "+attack; cg_drawgun 0"
set mouse_b "-attack; cg_drawgun 1"

I tried to copy this to etconfig (replacing bind Mouse1) and it didn't work. Mouse1 didn't work at all any more.

Neither it worked when I typed this text in the console (mouse1 was only normal shooting).

[Raziel]

It works for me. Is your config named autoexec.cfg? I had similar problems using autoexec.cfg as name, so I changed it.

 

oh wait you should have your own config for it, don't modify the etconfig.

solved the problem, thank you

how did you solved it Julez?

What is the advantage of not seeing your gun while you shoot? #sincerlyinterested

you can see the things 'behind' the gun

 

for example when you are standing higher than the enemy he might stand behind your gun

I find something like this distracting. Either have gun drawn or off permanently. I prefer the gun drawn because it gives me more of a sense of aiming.

It worked for me after I tried to put the bind and set commands in the 'right order'. It looks like this now:

 

bind MOUSE1 "+vstr mouse_a mouse_b"

bind MOUSE2 "+attack2"

bind MOUSE3 "+attack2"

bind MOUSE4 "weaponbank 6"

bind MOUSE5 "weaponbank 7"

bind MWHEELDOWN "cg_fov 120"

bind MWHEELUP "cg_fov 90"

seta mouse_b "-attack; cg_drawgun 1"

seta mouse_a "+attack; cg_drawgun 0"

seta r_smp "0" unsafe

seta r_depthbits "24" unsafe

seta r_stencilbits "0" unsafe

seta r_stereo "0" unsafe

 

If you open etconfig.cfg with Editor, it looks very chaotic and withouth order, but when I opened it with Word,

everything was assorted. (I finally stick with putting it in my etconfig.cfg, I don't like to type /exec autoexe.cfg

every time I open the game, Raziel )

 

 

I don't know if I'll keep this permanently, it's just a test. As you see, I often use cg_fov 90 to kill enemies who are

far away, and with cg_fov 90 your gun makes up a big part of the screen. Also I want to find out if you can concentrate

better on aiming if you have no gun while you're shooting.

Same for me, especially for when i play rifle

[Olykiller]

why change fov

changing fov = other sensitivity if im not wrong :/

[JuLeZ']

I know. I use 90 only for long distance shots, and the difference in sensitivity isn't a problem

it's because et configs have unix-style line endings, if you open the config win anything too much 'windowish', it fails

you need a decent text editor, or if you don't have one wordpad would still work

 

Personally I use shift to toggle fov, I have tried to remove it and get used to only 1 fov, but now I am too much used to it, holding shift with my pinky during long range fights (I have fov 120 when I release it, 90 when I hold it), I know it's another sens, but only for long range it's ok

 

I have made other tests as well, like no sound when I shoot (useful to concentrate without hearing the shoots or hitsounds), or even no crosshair when I shoot

yes me too, sometimes with pistols I use gun frame as well, but on etpro I can put it to 0 in b_endround, in other mods I often forget to set it back to 0 and the game crashes. For rifle I like always drawgun on.

I also tried to remove the shooting sounds, but I failed . Could you tell me how you did it, please?
