Binding keys for multiple actions at once

[Bouben 3]

Hi,

since we must do babysitters for our little AI mates in squad, I really think, that would be VERY useful to have possibility to bind multiple actions under ONE key. For example "danger mode command" + "crouch mode" command.

It wouldn't be so necessary, if AIs can keep themselfs down (crouched, proned) automatically, when in danger mode and NOT in standing position etc. IMO when in danger mode, regarding to their actual inteligence, they should use only crouch and prone positions.

Now example:

Imagine, that you're going on patrol, suddenly you are in contact with enemy and you need to react FAST. So you press only (for example) TAB button, and your team will get those TWO commands AT ONCE. They will set up in crouched position and will be cautious, tactical, like in well know "danger" mode. They will not stand up like curious fools, they will be low. And this was only one example, why to use it. I think you can figure out more situations, when it would be usefull.

It would be fully sufficient to have this controls settings editable in some config file, not necessarily included in game menu or something.

Maybe, if someone can mod this stuff. It would be kindly appreciated, I believe, not only by myself.

Say what you think, guys. And I hope, that this suggestion will get to BI.

And sorry for my possibly not perfect english.

You can do it with the right hardware. Setting makros for keyboards, mouses and other stuff (if they support this) is what you want.

I simply have "Stay crouched" and "Danger" ... works for me.

Use voice activation, you then only have to set it up to say a phrase of your choosing then have as many chained key strokes as you wish under that spoken command of your choice.

Google "Pilflus" :)

Kaeptn_Blaubaer: Can you gimme some tip, which program you know is good?

[Kaeptn_Blaubaer 10]

It depends on your keyboard. There are some keyboards (eg logitech g11) where you have some extra keys. With the software for this keyboard you can set up makros for this keys. For mouses and joysticks its the same. And there are some gaming keypads who may work additional to the normal one and where you can set up makros too.

If there is a software tool for setting shortcuts and/or makros i cant tell you, but maybee google knows.

I was googling, and found only office programs. Lot of shareware and enough tough to control...It looks, like I have to stay with button slavery...nevermind

Just downloaded and installed it...thanks.

And Pilflus is sadly not compatible with my Vistas 64. Reportedly, I don't have a "speech recongition engine". But Vistas have one in-build. Manual installation of Microsoft Speech Recognition 5.1 doesn't help either.
