old timer needs help plz...

[Dilligaf...1999]

I need help on binding a single key to a specific weapon and firing that weapon. I've looked around and can't figure out how to... For instance... press the "a" key and have that key switch to and fire a rocket... Press the "s" key and switch to and fire a grenade. I know it's simple but I've been away so long I just can't figure it out. Please help... I know it's something like "alias +rl" "impulse 7 +attack" Then you bind +rl to the "a" key? Is this correct? I've been busy with family today and haven't had time to "trial and error" this script. I HAVE BUNNIES RUNNING ALL THROUGH MY HOUSE! heh heh! Any help would be appreciated! Thanx...Dilli

I'll explain. This was basically taken out of my DualWeapons.cfg file. It's my personal means of quick switching in Quake yet it's glitchy at times. I only gave Dilligaf what he/she needed.

gsnip is basically the last weapon you selected using the 1-8 keys. After you use a quick switch, it'll return to the last weapon you selected.

snip# basically replaces the impulse# with the same command but also updating gsnip. Some servers may cause you problems (I don't know why) with this configuration so if anyone knows a better solution, I'm all ears.

The rest should be quite obvious. no?

edit:

my bad, I updated the code in my 1st post

You should mention how to use the snip# commands...

Looks like you need to constantly use each of those commands to set up the weapon you want to change back to. Perhaps they're bound to the number keys you use to select a weapon?
