quick weapon switch key bind

Post by DSWShadow »

hello,

not sure if this is posted already, but I forgot how to do the quick throw keybind that allows you to switch quickly between weapons... something along the lines of moveforward | throwweapon along with something like neverautoswitchonpickup.

anyone knows?

thanks

never used that as I prefer to do such things manually :)
but neverswitchonpickup must be false in any case and you have to set your weapon priorities accordingly. Then something like MoveForward | ThrowWeapon should work.
Sometimes you have to lose a fight to win the war.

unfortunately I didnt get the the answer... this used to be standard around 2004-2007 among some of the US players... I just forgot how to do it... need it so I can record a youtube video... DK knightmare invented it... its faster than normal weapon switch, even faster than ut2k3, 2k4 switch, near instantaneous due to throwweapon, used to do lots of eightball->rifle/asmd combos with it

I think I know how, but since I think that bind is cheap and lame, I'm not sharing :-X
I was so poor growning up, it's a good thing I was a boy, otherwise I'd have nothing to play with!

Time to find it and post it here for us. If we don't have the answer for you then it's up to you to answer it for all of us. Actually, I'm quite interested to see it in use.

It's
set input (key) throwweapon|movefoward|neverautoswitchonpickup true
but if you wanted it to be guarenteed to switch to your asmd or rifle you could also add switchweapon 4 into the equation, or 9 for rifle.

don't know the keybind but got it to work on unreal gold 227h patch... with the patch you can unclick autoswitchweapons in weapon priorities then moveforward | throwweapon and set eightball rifle asmd as top 3
