Keybinding

[Variasaber]

What's the difference between normal weapon changing and piped weapon changing? I've had binds for each at separate times and I don't see the difference

[KatWoman]

piped you can use one button for several weapons
it puts them up in order, if you have not pickup one of them, it goes to the next one

I use tophat button to quickly access shock or RL and I can switch back and forth quickly

the way you show is not using any piping
if you just have one weapon on the key no need for piping

for example
you have:
MiddleMouse=getweapon Onslaught.ONSAVRiL | PipedSwitchWeapon 5
MouseWheelDown=getweapon XWeapons.Sniperrifle | PipedSwitchWeapon 4
MouseWheelUp=getweapon XWeapons.FlakCannon | PipedSwitchWeapon 6


3 weapons 3 buttons
all could be on same command/use one button only:

MouseWheelDown=getweapon XWeapons.Sniperrifle | PipedSwitchWeapon 4| PipedSwitchWeapon 5| PipedSwitchWeapon 4

keep hitting mousewheeldown and you will get them in a row

True, but that many weapons on one button would be a little on the tricky side... not really better than the default mousewheel-to-cycle-through-all-weapons bind IMO.

One thing I've noticed though, the piped weapon switch has to be to a weapon slot that only contains one weapon. For example, I've been trying out some muts with different weapons, one that goes in slot 5. If I have both that and the link gun, middle mouse skips the AVRiL and only switches between the link gun and the other weapon. There doesn't appear to be a way around this, good thing that other weapon isn't in normal matches.

You know you can also set all new keybings in game in consule. I think you got type this "set input "insertkeybindhere" vehiclehorn 2 is an example, been long time since I done it though around those lines of setting up custom binds also you can make u auto say something by saying %W = what weapon you have, %H your health, and %L location i think. An example I am in this %L with %W with this much %S and %H.

Yes, and using the same syntax the game is able to say who killed who if you look at the code for the properties of weapons. %o and %k, I can't remember which is which. You could probably code yourself to, when killed, say "[person who killed you] just killed me with a [weapon that killed you]!" Pointless given the console death messages, which use the %o and %k code I think.

Naw tells them your current health, shield and weapon you have. It was used before UTcomp or servers that never ran utcomp.
