Please post an example of how to keybind artifacts

jason who writes proggies in basic any more????

..well...ppl who do IT at skool for one..

...and a friend of mine did that once..........a while back..but eh the only language i can do anything with is..html?...which i dont think accounts to much and it wudl seem we are goin a bit off topic..o.0..

Szlat I tried the key bind and all it does is atcivate the listed/shown artifact.
Am i do'n something wrong?? do you want me to paste the lines i did or what??....I did use #36 instead of #37 is that the prob?? 36 is blank/open

If you specified something like
Aliases[36]=(Command="SelectGlobe | OnRelease ActivateItem",Alias="ActivateGlobe")
and later
Backslash=ActivateGlobe
then pressing the Backslash key should select the globe artifact, then releasing the backslash key activates the currently selected item, which should now be the globe.
Of course, if you haven't got the globe, then the select part will do nothing, so you will end up activating the current artifact.

I presume this was on DC, and that you had the required artifact?

thats what like i have except for the lightning rod an d yes i have it for this is my adren char and I set it so the Ctrl is the use key

PS i only play on DC

This is for Greedo but will prob help others.

This is the easiest way to set artifacts to keys.

This will not activate them, just sets them ready to use.

I have 'activateitem' set to mouse4

See link to see highlighted example of my "user.ini" file

You only need "alias" if you want the Artifact to do something.

This alias will select rod then turn it on.

Aliases[37]=(Command="SelectRod | OnRelease ActivateItem",Alias="Rod")

Delete=Rod

Ok I notice evryone uses aliases[37] when tlaking about the aliases... 36 was open when i put my line in.. is it supposed to be left untouched?

I also put Lightningrod not rod in the line which is the correct one to use?

I think the aliases[37] was a result of everyone copy-pasting. Use the first available, and fill in from there.

See Szlat's post on the first page for the artifact names to use. In this case, it's SelectRod for the lightning rod.

Note that there is a limit of 40 aliases (0-39). You can't have an "aliases[40]" line - well, you can, but it won't be registered or work.

And realize a good number of the aliases that are already there appear to be important to the regular function of the game/keybindings.

It doesn't matter what you name the alias it just has to be the same in both line:

Aliases[37]=(Command="SelectRod | OnRelease ActivateItem",Alias="Rod" )

Delete=Rod

As to the alias(37), I just skipped one so i would be easy to find later.

swimmy did you find the adren drop bind yet..it on this thread if not

ps for those who interested here are 2 bind is use..well..1 i use..the other i jsut put in myself and did a quick test..but yeah....
first is
Aliases[37]=(Command="Toggle bAltFire",Alias="ToggleAltFire")

which when bound to a key like for me X=ToggleAltFire
will trun on and keep on the alt fire of the wep u r holding...

Aliases[38]=(Command="Toggle bDuck",Alias="ToggleDuck")
i jsut put in and tested on just instant action shuld work on sever...toggleing..well..crouch...
C=ToggleDuck

the reasons?..well...first one was an engineering dillema...hit the alt fire whiel healin ur sent..vhecile...or w/e...leave u hander s free to type...or medic can turn it on for a mini or flak and heal who ever happs to walk in front t it as they type....

the 2nd came to me today as i i was couching and linking up via meidc link...it gets rlly bothersome to keeep holding it..so ...why not toggle it?...so ..i did....so there you go all who want it if you do

and as said b4 for thsoe who havtn used key bind b4..u dont need to assign the keys we have...nor under neccearily the aliases we have them at ....all that need be constant is everythign after the = so there u go..

..

ps
anyone know of any aliases u can remove and or replace that arrnt essential to game play?

I've been told that these 2 aliases aren't needed but I've not replaced them.

Aliases[26]=(Command="InGameChat",Alias=InGameChat)
Aliases[27]=(Command="ServerInfo",Alias=ServerInfo)

Also, those last 2 keybinds you show in your post (and maybe others) don't need aliases, just set that key to that action in the .ini file
ex.

C=Toggle bDuck
X=Toggle bAltfire

Some others:
NumPad0=tossartifact (toss current artifact)
NumPad1=FOV 110 (set Field of view)
Slash=Suicide
NumPad4=setname Player
NumPad8=teamsay Anyone want a %w (tell your current weapon)
MiddleMouse=SwitchWeapon 10 | SwitchToLastWeapon (switch to trans then switch back to weapon you were holding)

You can also set these in game with the "set" console command.
ex.
open the console and enter: Set input X toggle Baltfire (replace X with desired Key)

oh rlly?..the aliases i just put in cus i saw a toggle a command with an alias..so hmm..that helps me free up some room to put in a lightning rod and healing blast bind..

thanks for that info..
