How to bind SSG directly to a key?

I mean I have SSG binded in 3 as default but I have to press two times 3 if I have the SG too.

How to add SSG in another key so I have SG and SSG separated by different keys?

Same question would be for fist/chainsaw

Also how come I can't choose weapon binds in the menu like you can do on other games like Quake? I think it's basic.

Switches to the SSG for me.

Maybe you didn't do it right, lemme just go fish it out from my autoexec:

Code: Select all

bind mouse4 "use supershotgun"
Does that make it any easier? Be sure you "give all" (or find a SSG) beforehand in single player.

What if the weapon name has more than one word?

Then you simply do this:

Code: Select all

Bind (key) "use \"Super Shotgun"

Either do what everyone's told you or just do:

Code: Select all

Bind (key) "slot 3"

He mentioned that in the first post. Pressing 3 (the key bound to slot 3 by default) brings up the SG first, and then he has to press it a second time to get the SSG.
I don't think an actor's name can have more than one word.

It can if you use quotes in it's name.

To bind that to a key:

Code: Select all

bind key "use \"Weapon Name\""

You need to press "3" to use super shotgun.

I just tried it and you're right. The SSG appears first when you press 3. It is the SG that you have to press 3 twice to use. Could the OP (Zand) have his Preferred Weapon Order (PWO) messed up so that he gets the SG before the SSG when he presses 3?

Then you have to double tap 3 to get the shotgun even if you already have the SSG selected.

It is still a slight improvement because double-tapping is faster than tapping twice, and going through the weapon change animation twice.

There are no spaces in the Super Shotgun's actor name. (the "use" command uses actor names, not tag/friendly names)

bind <key> "use supershotgun" is correct. Nothing else is valid. <key> is the keyboard/controller button you want it assigned to. ie: bind q "use supershotgun"

Also, this will only work for the vanilla SSG. Any other modified ones of course use a different actor name.
