The Belgian Para's Clansite - How to bind keys to stuff!

Did you ever wonder how people could do things so much faster ingame? Or did you asked yourself how to bind buttons to sentences? This guide is here to tell you everything you need to know to make your own costume binds!

First, you need to find your config.cfg , it's in your half-life/firearms folder. Open the file with any texteditor, notepad will do fine. !IMPORTANT! Always make back up of your files. The config.cfg keeps track of all your configurations of Firearms. There are a lot of interesting things in here that we wont play with right now.

How to bind a sentece:

Try to find a free key. Let's say "v". Now if you wan't to say "visit our site: http://go.to/BelgianParas" then you just add the following line to the config.cfg:

bind "v" "say visit our site: http://go.to/BelgianParas"

If you want team only messages like "I need a medic!", then you just add:

bind "b" "say_team I need a medic!"

How to bind a radiocommand:

Basicly it's the same thing here. Let's we want to bind the "Yes, sir" radiocommand to the f key. Just add this line to the config.cfg:

bind "f" "radio yes"

The same thing goes for the voice commands:

bind "g" "voice battlecry"

You can also bind the voice menu to a button:

bing "h" "voice"

command	effect
voice battlecry	make the AAARRRRGHHHH noise
voice getdown	yell GET DOWN
voice coverme	yell COVER ME
voice charge	yell CHARGE
radio yes	radio YES SIR
radio no	radio NEGATIVE
radio	displays radio menu

How to bind an action:

Most actions can be binded inside the firearms configuration menu, but if you want you can also bind an action manually. For example:

bind "MWHEELDOWN" "invnext"

will give you your next weapon.

Most usefull binds:

useskill treat (heal teammates or yourselve), useskill hospice (drop a hospice flag) and useskill marker (drop a mortar flag)
