Key binding doesn't work

[Nano]

I have a problem binding keys. Various sites say all you have to do is type: bind [key] [command]. However when I type bind M impulse 101, it returns the message ''bind <key> [command] : attach a command to a key.
Some variations like bind ''m'' ''impulse 101'' or Bind M ''impulse 101''
don't seem to work either. Does anyone know the proper way to work these?
The second question is, when I get the binds to work, can I bind commands like npc_create npc_metrocop to keys, or does the game only bind commands with variables? Thanks in advance.

The correct would be

bind m "impulse 101"

No luck, it still gives me the message.

Am I missing something obvious here, it seems to be working for everyone except me.

I do:
bind "b" "impulse 101"

Have you got sv_cheats = 1?

 

[Nano]

I have it on, yes.

 

[Xendance]

Then I don't know what else to do. Sorry mate.

bind m "impulse 101"

Works if m is unbound.

 

[Nano]

It doesn't!
I've been trying it and all variations for the last hour and it always says ''bind <key> [command] : attach a command to a key'''.
This is really pissing me off. Can someone make a video of it perhaps, I'm sure I'm doing something wrong.

Have you tried putting it in your config file?

 

[Nano]

Tried adding bind ''m'' ''impulse 101'' in the config file, it still does absolutely nothing.

 

[skarrob]

Make sure your using quotation marks only on the command bind m "impulse 101"

 

[AtomicSpark]

Make sure your config file isn't read only. :\

Finally got it to work. Binding won't work in-game, but they do when I put them in the .cfg file, and don't make it read only. Thanks all.
