I need a Sniper script where..

[despair]

A tap of the mouse1 button charges the sniper dot, and another tap makes it fire.

[Circuitous]

alias charge "+attack; wait; bind mouse1 discharge"
alias discharge "-attack; wait; bind mouse1 charge"

bind mouse1 "charge"

I just tried this in sniper.cfg, as well as another script similar to it that performs the same function, and they work great, but when ever I swap classes it carries over to the other class. I've tried making a "clean up script" that re-binds mouse1 to +attack like so:

echo Cleaner Script Loaded...

bind mouse1 +attack

or:

echo Cleaner Script Loaded...

unbind mouse1
bind mouse1 +attack

But then when I respawn as another class I get stuck with +attack on and end up firing my weapons until they run out of ammo and I'm left swinging the crowbar. Nothing I hit or do fixes this. Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong? I've never screwed around with the scripting before so I don't know if I need to do something special.

I also tried putting

 exec config.cfg

in the class config files to make it load my default settings, but that doesn't work either, giving me the same result as the clean up script.

echo Cleaner Script Loaded...
-attack
bind mouse1 +attack

Then put "exec cleaner.cfg" in all of your class config files.

so what is "in" the cleaner.cfg then? I added some stuff for my spy script and now my special key doesnt work for my engy for example.

[fishBurger]

in each nonsniper class config add "bind mouse1 +attack"

[Jester]

That's what his cleanup script was doing and it wasn't fixing it, probably because it was still doing +attack from the charge shot.

Stick with what I said.

[Circuitous]

Yeah Jester's got it right here.

I made a script today for my sniping that makes it so my sensitivity goes down when I hold mouse1 as sniper, and back up when I let go, to make my aiming more steady, I think it would work really well with this script, so it would be something like this;

alias charge "+attack; sensitivity X; wait; bind mouse1 discharge"
alias discharge "-attack; sensitivity Y; wait; bind mouse1 charge"

Simply replace X with what you want your sensitivity to be while aiming our sniper rifle, and Y with what your normal sensitivity is.

Also, is there a way to make it so the sensitivity reverts back to default without you having to put your default sensitivity number in Y?

[Circuitous]

To your last question: no. It doesn't "remember" your sensitivity, not in a config anyway. It could be scripted within the game itself, though.

not familiar with new cvars in the source engine but in the HL1 engine this command exists "zoom_sensitivity_ratio" set to 1.0 feels about right for me.

Yeah, most games do have a sensitivity ratio for zooming, FF doesnt which is why I have the script to change sensitivity as you aim. I just think that with my 20 sensitivity that I use, aiming becomes EXTREMELY sensitive after I zoom in.
