fast swapping

(note: I'd put this in the script guide thread, but that's 404ing ... weird. P.S. The scripting thread is 404ing)

WARNING: if these scripts make your game explode, you didn't get them from me and have nobody but yourself to blame.

Ever felt like it would be much better if you could switch weapons quickly? Turns out you can! just follow these simple scripts:

create a default.cfg and put this in it:

alias "oldweapon0" "developer 1; echo YOU GET NOTHING!; wait 100; developer 0"
alias "oldweapon1" "developer 1; echo YOU GET NOTHING!; wait 100; developer 0"
alias "oldweapon2" "developer 1; echo YOU GET NOTHING!; wait 100; developer 0"

alias "newweapon0" "developer 1; echo YOU GET NOTHING!; wait 100; developer 0"
alias "newweapon1" "developer 1; echo YOU GET NOTHING!; wait 100; developer 0"
alias "newweapon2" "developer 1; echo YOU GET NOTHING!; wait 100; developer 0"

bind F1 "equiptoggle0; wait 25; slot1"
bind F2 "equiptoggle1; wait 25; slot2"
bind F3 "equiptoggle2; wait 25; slot3"

This will keep your weapons from being messed up when you're in the wrong class, it also binds F1-F3 to be your weapon switch buttons, change them to what you will. The "wait 25" makes it so that pressing the button switches to the weapon you changed.

in heavyweapons.cfg put:

alias "oldweapon0" "equip 6 0 0; alias equiptoggle0 newweapon0; developer 1; echo Equipped SASHA; wait 100; developer 0"
alias "oldweapon1" "equip 6 1 0; alias equiptoggle1 newweapon1; developer 1; echo Equipped SHOTGUN; wait 100; developer 0"
alias "oldweapon2" "equip 6 2 0; alias equiptoggle2 newweapon2; developer 1; echo Equipped FISTS; wait 100; developer 0"

alias "newweapon0" "equip 6 0 8; alias equiptoggle0 oldweapon0; developer 1; echo Equipped NATASCHA; wait 100; developer 0"
alias "newweapon1" "equip 6 1 7; alias equiptoggle1 oldweapon1; developer 1; echo Equipped SANDVITCH; wait 100; developer 0"
alias "newweapon2" "equip 6 2 9; alias equiptoggle2 oldweapon2; developer 1; echo Equipped K.G.B.; wait 100; developer 0"

oldweapon1
newweapon2

in medic.cfg put

alias "oldweapon0" "equip 5 0 0; alias equiptoggle0 newweapon0; developer 1; echo Equipped SYRINGEGUN; wait 100; developer 0"
alias "oldweapon1" "equip 5 1 0; alias equiptoggle1 newweapon1; developer 1; echo Equipped MEDIGUN; wait 100; developer 0"
alias "oldweapon2" "equip 5 2 0; alias equiptoggle2 newweapon2; developer 1; echo Equipped BONESAW; wait 100; developer 0"

alias "newweapon0" "equip 5 0 1; alias equiptoggle0 oldweapon0; developer 1; echo Equipped BLUTSAUGHER; wait 100; developer 0"
alias "newweapon1" "equip 5 1 2; alias equiptoggle1 oldweapon1; developer 1; echo Equipped KRITZKREIG; wait 100; developer 0"
alias "newweapon2" "equip 5 2 3; alias equiptoggle2 oldweapon2; developer 1; echo Equipped UBERSAW; wait 100; developer 0"

in pyro.cfg put:

alias "oldweapon0" "equip 7 0 0; alias equiptoggle0 newweapon0; developer 1; echo Equipped FLAMETHROWER; wait 100; developer 0"
alias "oldweapon1" "equip 7 1 0; alias equiptoggle1 newweapon1; developer 1; echo Equipped SHOTGUN; wait 100; developer 0"
alias "oldweapon2" "equip 7 2 0; alias equiptoggle2 newweapon2; developer 1; echo Equipped FIREAXE; wait 100; developer 0"

alias "newweapon0" "equip 7 0 5; alias equiptoggle0 oldweapon0; developer 1; echo Equipped BACKBURNER; wait 100; developer 0"
alias "newweapon1" "equip 7 1 4; alias equiptoggle1 oldweapon1; developer 1; echo Equipped FLAREGUN; wait 100; developer 0"
alias "newweapon2" "equip 7 2 6; alias equiptoggle2 oldweapon2; developer 1; echo Equipped AXTINGUISHER; wait 100; developer 0"

it's important to put new/oldweapon# for each weapon (0=main, 1=secondary, 3=melee, I don't know why, ask Valve). Not only does this ensure that you start the class in your preferred loadout, but it "primes" the binds so that you actually can use the buttons! put new/old depending on how you want your loadout to be.

in ever other class.cfg put:
exec default.cfg

and you're done!

So what exactly does this do?

I think it switches your weapons. Like the layout you have, (Pyro backburner for regular flamethrower, medic ubersaw for regular saw, etc.)

Switches your loadout without having to go to the menu, good stuff.

Nice script! I still have to test it, but it looks really good!

I have it set up so that mouse4 switches between melee and primary, while 'e' switches between secondary and primary. For all intents and purposes, the medigun is a primary weapon. If anyone wants it, I can post the script.

I was using the script today, and I must say, it's very nice. Works perfectly, is a lot faster than going to the menu to switch loadouts, and is simple. Many props.

It's a trap!

I was just wanting this.
