[Tag You're It]

[[O?]]

i use a whole bunch of buying binds like when i press 1 on the numberpad i buy either an m4 or ak, when i press page up i buy all the nades, etc. if you would like these, just pm me

i do that too, i'll post my buy binds probably tonight if i can remember, its almost golf time right now. but when i press 7 i buy a deagle, 8 is ak/m4, 9 is scout, 4 is nades, 5 smoke, 6 kit, 1 armor, 2 helm armor, 3 flashbang (cause in the buy menu's, those are the numbers they are...makes it easy)
purchase away.
pretty much this is how i play, if i don't have enough money for a ak/m4/scout i just buy a deag, pick up a weapon if i can...i don't bother wasting money on things like mp5s or shotties

edit: also for jail i have - binded to kill (to kill yourself)

 

[GarrysModder]

Why do people kill themselves in jail? :O

Thanks for all the posts guys, go ahead and list your buying binds so that this thread can help many others as well. I do have one question though, why would i change my crosshairscale on the fly? i use 9999 which is the same as 3000 but i use it all the time, never really needed to go bigger at a moments notice, I only use assault rifles and scout plus the deagle. I would change if i were to use more of spraying weapons but I only spray when i come up behind a group of people and want to roll through them lol.

 

[ohrly?]

Hey, thanks everyone, these binds will definitely help me in-game.

Yeah I tend to side with Junk, I don't waste money on "cheap" guns that I know I probably won't get kills with, I save up for the next round by buying a pistol.

I'll buy a shotgun if I've had a lot of caffeine and I'm feeling hyper though >.>

Also, I'm binding kill in console right now, mass suicide FTW.

I dont have any buy binds in Source but in 1.6 I used to have the keypad all bound up.

1 would buy an AK or a kit + M4 (b/c they're team specific you don't have to waste two keys, just write a script that tries to buy both) (plus it helped me remember my kit for scrims )
2 would buy a kevlar/helment, kevlar, deagle
3 - 2xflashbangs, 4-hegrenade, 5-smokegrenade (like someone else said, thats how they are on the menu)
and I used to have 6,7 bound for primary and secondary ammo (I'm sure y'all are too young to remember the days when you had to *gasp shock horror* buy ammunition!!!! )

Now that I think about it, I miss my binds.

I also had that CS helper, you hit H and a side menu came up, it had map specific calls, server RCON commands, the radio commands, that was some cool stuff. (oh and I customized it to have all my funny inside joke binds )
Sadly, CS:S does not have any such menu plugin D:

Great work guys, keep them coming. Things that seem semi pointless to you may be another player golden ticket!

 

[king killer]

bind - "cl_crosshairscale 1500"
bind = "cl_crosshairscale 3000"

Change your crosshair size on the fly.

i use 19000

just an update, here is my bind listings...you can copy each one individually and paste them in your console...this is for the number pad to the right of your keyboard, 1 through 9

bind "kp_end" "buy vest"
bind "kp_downarrow" "buy vesthelm"
bind "kp_pgdn" "buy flashbang"
bind "kp_leftarrow" "buy hegrenade"
bind "kp_5" "buy smokegrenade"
bind "kp_rightarrow" "buy defuser"
bind "kp_home" "buy deagle"
bind "kp_uparrow" "buy m4a1; buy ak47"
bind "kp_pgup" "buy scout"

 

[bandgeek]

tsk tsk
all these lazy ppl
lol jk
tats smart but if u just memorize the numbers in the buy shop binding theweapons won't be neccesary
all i have is the bank cuz i could just memorize it
i think tats easier for me cuz wat if u accidently press tat button??? probably a lot of ppl disagree with me lol

 

[drbob]

Here are my binds if anyones interested
bind "KP_INS" "buy defuser;buy vesthelm;buy vest;"
bind "KP_END" "buy m4a1;buy ak47;"
bind "KP_DOWNARROW" "buy deagle;"
bind "KP_PGDN" "buy flashbang; buy flashbang;"
bind "KP_LEFTARROW" "buy hegrenade"
bind "KP_5" "buy smokegrenade"
bind "KP_RIGHTARROW" "buy flashbang; buy hegrenade; buy smokegrenade; buy flashbang;"
bind "KP_HOME" "buy m3;"

They're in order on the keypad, 0 gets you a kit, and armor (whichever you can afford)
1 gets you a primary weapon (m4 or ak, depending on team)
2 gets you a deagle, 3 4 and 5 get you respective nades, 6 buys all nades at once, and 7 gets you a pump shotty

@bandgeek: Going through the menu is "quite slow" for people who played professional counterstrike. The reason being, most people who were in CAL and CPL (or other "pro gaming leagues") were used to playing 1.5 and early versions of 1.6, or even earlier versions! Until 1.6 final, the visual buy menu didn't exist. In very early versions you /had/ to bind keys. The point being, old farts or "pro gamers" like their speedy binds, and no amount of convincing will bring them into the 21st century of epic gaming xD.

Why do people kill themselves in jail? :O

Why were you perm-banned?:O

for weapons bind, you hae to know the game command name of the weapons, that is what you will need to enter in console. the following is a list of both the commonly used name as well as the game command name. Also, I like to bind weapon buys to the number pad to keep them separated, for this you have to use the proper name of the numbers.
for example, If you want to bind to the number 7 on the keypad, and you want to buy a armor plus the helmet, duelies, the krieg, a nade, 2 flashes and a smoke, you would enter the following in console just as you see it including the " ".

bind "kp_home" "buy vesthelm; buy elite; buy sg550; buy hegrenade; buy flashbang; buy flashbang; buy smokegrenade"

now you can just change your weapons and key pad name (8=uparrow, 2=downarrow, 4= left arrow, 1=end etc etc)


real name = game command name

nade = hegrenade
flash = flashbang
smoke = smokegrenade
glock = glock
USP = usp
P228 = P228
Deagle = deagle
.57 = fiveseven
duelys = elite
pump shotty = m3
auto shotty = xm1014
tmp = tmp
mac10 = mac10
ump = ump45
mp5 = mp5navy
p90 = p90
galil = galil
famas = famas
ak47 = ak47
scout = scout
m4 = m4a1
kreig = sg550
aug = aug
t auto sniper = g3sg1
ct auto sniper = sg552
awp = awp
para = m249
night vision = nvgs
defuse kit = defuser
armor = vest
armor and helmet = vesthelm
