I play Half-life 2 Death Match and have quick switch enabled but unlike in Counter-Strike:Source it does not go right to another wepon when i move the wheel mouse up and down insted it goes to the diffrent menu for the diffrent classes of weapons like pistols. In CS:S it goes right to the weapon and does not even open that menu. Can someone tell me how to fix this? It is costing me deaths.
 
thats cos theres NOoooooooooooo answer. i've been wondering the same thing though.....anyone?
 
Thanks for the replies even if the problem was not solved.
 
it is in keyboard>advanced...but it doesn't work for me either
 
The fast switch only applies to the (default) number keys. Press 3 once and you'll get the SMG, press 3 again and you'll get the Combine carbine (provided that you have both of course)
 
lol, ill share some hldm knowledge with you :)

the drop down menu's are called 'slots'; shot1, shot2, etc.

you want is inventory next

bind "MWHEELUP" "invnext"

edit: i hope u know what an autoexec is aka userconfig
 
i just tried this by typing 'bind mwheeldown "invnext;+attack"' in the console....it works ONCE then when i fire, it just repeatedley fires on its own....am i doing something wrong?
 
tried it like that and with 2 waits but it still keeps doing the firing thing....ah well
 
none of them are working for me right....it works once then just stops

If u think ur havin problems, my mouse wheel doesn't work in HL2 HL: DM or CS: S
 
None of those worked can someone explain more about binding I think I'm missing somthing.
 
You could try this script of mine. Its not an ideal solution as it tries to select weapon slots that are empty when you scroll to them but since you cant have conditions in scripts its the best you can do. In fact its more suited to counter strike since in hl2 dm you can have 2 weapons in a single slot.

//weapon select script to go in autoexec.cfg
alias wepup "slot_3"
alias wepdn "slot_2"
alias slot_1 "slot1; alias wepup slot_5; alias wepdn slot_2"
alias slot_2 "slot2; alias wepup slot_1; alias wepdn slot_3"
alias slot_3 "slot3; alias wepup slot_2; alias wepdn slot_4"
alias slot_4 "slot4; alias wepup slot_3; alias wepdn slot_5"
alias slot_5 "slot5; alias wepup slot_4; alias wepdn slot_1"

//change the mouse wheel binds in the config.cfg to the values below
bind "MWHEELDOWN" "wepdn"
bind "MWHEELUP" "wepup"

If HL2DM had weapon aliases i could script a much better version indeed.
 
Surprising as no one else has said it, nice one man.. Much appreciated. :thumbs:
 
tbh: this one I found is better :p

// Weapon cycle

bind "MWHEELDOWN" "weapprev"
alias weapprev "invprev;+attack;wait;wait;-attack"

bind "MWHEELUP" "weapnxt"
alias weapnxt "invnext;+attack;wait;wait;-attack"

Adding a "-attack" does seem like a rather good idea now, doesn't it? :D
 
I just bind every weapon to a different key and don't bother with the menu. The syntax is:

bind "keyname" "use weapon-name"

You substitute values for keyname and weapon-name. You need the quotes. You can find the key names and weapon names by looking at your config file. I think inv next is only useful if you run out of ammo and you don't remember what other weapons you have.

Exactly what I was after.. Cheers man. ;)
 
I must say sorry to all, i had this all the time and dind't share with you because i thought you were talking about turning off the auto-pick weapons thing lol. Sorry, it was very stupid. :\
