Problem with my engie config, can someone diagnose this for me?

eva01 · 11-05-2007, 01:23 AM

I have "f" bound as weaponswitch, and for some reason, after a build a dispenser, "f" detonates the dispenser instead of staying as weaponswitch. I want to use MOUSE4 as dispenser build/det. Here is my full engie config below:

echo ENGINEER CFG LOADED

resetbinds
resetnumpad

//Spanner - Super Shotgun Switch
alias weps1 "slot1; alias weaponswitch weps2"
alias weps2 "slot3; alias weaponswitch weps1"
alias weaponswitch weps1
bind "f" "weaponswitch"

//Build Sentry/Det Sentry (WILL DISMANTLE IF WITHIN DISMANTLE DISTANCE)
bind "MOUSE5" "sentrygun; dismantlesentry; detsentry"
bind "MOUSE4" "dispenser; dismantledispenser; detdispenser"

//Build Dispenser/Det Dispenser (WILL DISMANTLE IF WITHIN DISMANTLE DISTANCE)
alias builddis1 "dispenser; alias weaponswitch builddis2"
alias builddis2 "dismantledispenser; detdispenser; alias weaponswitch builddis1"
alias dispenserbuilddet builddis1
bind "MOUSE4" "dispenserbuilddet"

//Aim Sentry Gun
bind "UPARROW" "aimsentry"

Change it to this:

Code:

echo ENGINEER CFG LOADED

resetbinds
resetnumpad

//Spanner - Super Shotgun Switch
alias weps1 "slot1; alias weaponswitch weps2"
alias weps2 "slot3; alias weaponswitch weps1"
alias weaponswitch weps1
bind "f" "weaponswitch"

//Build Sentry/Det Sentry (WILL DISMANTLE IF WITHIN DISMANTLE DISTANCE)
bind "MOUSE5" "sentrygun; dismantlesentry; detsentry"
bind "MOUSE4" "dispenser; dismantledispenser; detdispenser"

//Build Dispenser/Det Dispenser (WILL DISMANTLE IF WITHIN DISMANTLE DISTANCE)
alias builddis1 "dispenser; alias builddet builddis2"
alias builddis2 "dismantledispenser; detdispenser; alias builddet builddis1"
alias builddet builddis1
bind "MOUSE4" "builddet"

//Aim Sentry Gun
bind "UPARROW" "aimsentry"

Well i would do this a different way. But after building a dispenser you change what weaponswitch does. So basicly i changed it. Not sure What exactly you are wanting to do because could simplify mouse4 to

Code:

bind mouse4 "dismantledispenser;detdispenser; dispenser"

with this code will try to dismantle first then if not close will blow up dispenser then build a dispenser. But if you want to toggle between build and "det/dismantle" of the dispenser.

Get back to me can tell me exactly what you want ill write up a script for ya

eva01 · 11-06-2007, 12:55 AM

Well, I just want "f" to be weaponswitch.
mouse4 to be dispenser toggle build/det
mouse5 to be sentry toggle build/det

I changed my config a bit after searching in the forums to:

echo ENGINEER CFG LOADED

resetbinds
resetnumpad

//Spanner - Super Shotgun Switch
alias weps1 "slot1; alias weaponswitch weps2"
alias weps2 "slot3; alias weaponswitch weps1"
alias weaponswitch weps1
bind "f" "weaponswitch"

//Build Sentry/Det Sentry (WILL DISMANTLE IF WITHIN DISMANTLE DISTANCE)
alias buildset1 "sentrygun; alias weaponswitch buildset2"
alias buildset2 "dismantlesentry; detsentry; alias weaponswitch buildset1"
alias sentrybuilddet buildset1
bind "MOUSE5" "sentrybuilddet"

//Build Dispenser/Det Dispenser (WILL DISMANTLE IF WITHIN DISMANTLE DISTANCE)
alias builddis1 "dispenser; alias weaponswitch builddis2"
alias builddis2 "dismantledispenser; detdispenser; alias weaponswitch builddis1"
alias dispenserbuilddet builddis1
bind "MOUSE4" "dispenserbuilddet"

But it does the same thing. Actually I noticed it not only changes "f" to detonating dispenser, but it will also detonate my sentry if I don't have a dispenser. I don't know why this is happening, any ideas? Thanks.

i think may be because the weaponswitch is being aliased to 3 different sets?

after you press mouse4 or mouse5, weaponswitch is aliased along with builddis1/2 or buildset1/2 instead of exclusively weps1 or weps2

to solve this, perhaps 3 different sets of weaponswitch need to be made(like weaponswitch1 for the regular, weaponswitchdis for dispensor related, and weaponswitchsg for sentry related) or add an unalias/unbind to the end of your sentry/dispensor lines and then re-alias/rebind to the original weps1/2?

4est · 11-07-2007, 05:18 AM

Eva, this is what you are attempting. Just look at the code differences in this and yours... you'll get it.

Code:

//Spanner - Super Shotgun Switch

alias weps1 "slot1; bind f weps2"
alias weps2 "slot3; bind f weps1"
weps1     //to spawn with shotty and to have alias in place 

// To spawn with wrench, change the above to "weps2"


//Build Sentry/Det Sentry (WILL DISMANTLE IF WITHIN DISMANTLE DISTANCE)

alias bs1 "sentrygun; bind mouse5 bs2"
alias bs2 "detdismantlesentry; bind mouse5 bs1"
bind "MOUSE5" "bs1"

//Build Dispenser/Det Dispenser (WILL DISMANTLE IF WITHIN DISMANTLE DISTANCE)

alias dis1 "dispenser; bind mouse4 dis2"
alias dis2 "detdismantledispenser; bind mouse4 dis1"
bind "MOUSE4" "dis1"

If you read what i actually had to say whould have shown you what the issue was LOL

alias dis1 "dispenser; bind mouse4 dis2"
alias dis2 "detdismantledispenser; bind mouse4 dis1"
bind "MOUSE4" "dis1"

I personally don't think tha the detdismantlesentry/dispenser works correctly...So I usually just like to write it out:

Code:

bind mouse4 "dismantledispenser; detdispenser; dispenser"
bind mouse3 "dismantlesentry; detsentry; sentrygun"

That works fine for me...idk why you are trying to alias it and all that; it's not really necessary.

I was rewriting Eva's config so it would work. (if the detdismantleX command works reliably that is)

Dr.Satan · 11-07-2007, 09:12 PM

i know that was more directed at him then you...

I don't think the detdismantleX command works b/c it attempts to det. first which then blows it up no matter what you do (at least that's my experience...anyone else have that problem?) IMO should be dismantledetX and then it would work beautifully!

Hammock · 11-07-2007, 09:41 PM

Dr. Uudge is correct.

The reason why your keys are being remapped is because you are repeatedly reusing the same alias, and rebinding keys.

Step by step what's happening:

1. You bound F to switch between weapons
2. You bind Mouse5 for sentry work
3. You bind Mouse4 for dispencer work
4. (This is where it gets quirky)

You created an alias system that on first time use of MOUSE4
-Try to build a dispenser
-Rebind your weapon switch (F) to make it dismantle/det a dispencer

So now F is bound to dismantle or det a dispenser.

2nd time use of MOUSE4
- try to dismantle/det a dispencer
-rebind your weapon switch (F) to make it build a dispencer next use.

5. Now you've rebound MOUSE4 (2nd time in one config) to your alias

If you press F anytime after using MOUSE4 you will no longer get weapon switching, F from that point on will work exactly like MOUSE4 will.

Some of the examples given above are what you want, stay away from alias' for the most part if it can be done with a single "BIND" command.

Also try to stick to smaller names for alias's.

dispenserbuilddet = detdisp
builddis1 = disp1
builddis2 = disp2

Smaller names doesn't make the whole thing look congested and it's easier to find mistakes

Cheers,
Hammock

Dr.Satan · 11-07-2007, 09:50 PM

Looking at your OP you actually had it just had some extra stuff:

Delete this from your original cfg and you will be good to go:

Code:

//Build Dispenser/Det Dispenser (WILL DISMANTLE IF WITHIN DISMANTLE DISTANCE)
alias builddis1 "dispenser; alias weaponswitch builddis2"
alias builddis2 "dismantledispenser; detdispenser; alias weaponswitch builddis1"

Config should look like this:

Code:

echo ENGINEER CFG LOADED

resetbinds
resetnumpad

//Spanner - Super Shotgun Switch
alias weps1 "slot1; alias weaponswitch weps2"
alias weps2 "slot3; alias weaponswitch weps1"
alias weaponswitch weps1
bind "f" "weaponswitch"

//Build Sentry/Det Sentry (WILL DISMANTLE IF WITHIN DISMANTLE DISTANCE)
bind "MOUSE5" "sentrygun; dismantlesentry; detsentry"

//Build Dispenser/Det Dispenser (WILL DISMANTLE IF WITHIN DISMANTLE DISTANCE)
bind "MOUSE4" "dispenser; dismantledispenser; detdispenser"

//Aim Sentry Gun
bind "UPARROW" "aimsentry"

Now "f" will switch between spanner and shotty, mouse4 will build/det/dismantle dispenser, and mouse5 will build/det/dismantle Sg

~there is no need to toggle the build and det/dismantle b/c they can all be in the same bind...

You are aliasing an alias. Just alias binds.

Code:

alias weps1 "slot1; bind f weps2"
alias weps2 "slot3; bind f weps1"
weps1     //to spawn with shotty, bind "f" and to have alias in place

Dr.Satan · 11-08-2007, 05:10 PM

yep your right...was just copying his b/c I think we all got carried away in thinking we knew what he wanted w/out reading his description (b/c his original cfg was all messed up)

Also have you noticed he hasn't been here in a while...lol

eva01 · 11-10-2007, 12:01 AM

thanks for all the help, i'll try the following:

echo ENGINEER CFG LOADED

resetbinds
resetnumpad

//Spanner - Super Shotgun Switch
alias weps1 "slot1; bind f weps2"
alias weps2 "slot3; bind f weps1"
weps1 //to spawn with shotty, bind "f" and to have alias in place

//Build Sentry/Det Sentry (WILL DISMANTLE IF WITHIN DISMANTLE DISTANCE)
bind "MOUSE5" "sentrygun; dismantlesentry; detsentry"

//Build Dispenser/Det Dispenser (WILL DISMANTLE IF WITHIN DISMANTLE DISTANCE)
bind "MOUSE4" "dispenser; dismantledispenser; detdispenser"

//Aim Sentry Gun
bind "UPARROW" "aimsentry"
