Name changing

[Welshy]

Is there a way of binding a key so you can easily change your name rather than opening the console and typing it there?

[Master]

bind <KEY> "messagemode name"

Should work for spaces too.

[Welshy]

Tried that but it just comes up with message mode and doesn't change my name.

Tried that but it just comes up with message mode and doesn't change my name.

did you make sure to include the quotes exactly as I have?

[Welshy]

Yes I did.

[Master]

Yes I did.

I thought something was broken, so I had to test it myself.

This works fine for me: bind x "messagemode name"

however I am only one person, it may be time to ask for a second opinion.

[Welshy]

Just so I'm not being thick as usual.

bind "x" "messagemode welshy"  is that right?

When I hit x my name should change from whatever to welshy.

And should that go into userconfig. config or  both?

[Master]

wrong, you should be typing bind "x" "messagemode name"

then you press "x" and type the name you want and hit enter, the rest will work as you would want it to. 'name' is the actual word for the very first time ever used like this.

any time you add a bind, it is automatically added into your config.cfg/userconfig.cfg you will only need to change that if you use class configs that overwrite the bind on that key

It you don't need spaces:

bind x "name welshy"

if you need spaces:

bind x "exec name.cfg"

Then in name.cfg put:

name "W e l s h y"

I think he's looking for a bind that changes his name at the press of a button.

like bind k "name Player" works, but I can't figure out how to make it work with the tag -[EVIL]- in the command

[Welshy]

I am and this works a treat. bind "k" "name -[EVIL]-Welshy"

It's only because I'm lazy.

Thanks for all the help guys
