bind help, (not the same as the other post)

(Major_Slapnuts) #1

in a previous post, I asked how to bind a key to long jump and I was informed how to bind the Left Alt key to long jump. I was able to do that and it worked for me.

In this post, I am asking how to bind the long jump to the space bar. It is a separate and different question. it is not as easy as replacing LeftAlt with Space. There is more to it. It may not even be possible.

I am hoping someone has some tips for me on how to do it.

I want to set the space bar as long jump. It seems the bind would be

Setbind Space “Duck | Jump” 1

That does not work for me. I have tried to unmap the space bar for the keyboard controls before and after I try the bind and that does not make a difference.

also I cant cut and paste the wording for the binds, it does not let me

It’s because you have the bind name wrong. The bind name is based on UE3’s designations where the Space key is designated as SpaceBar. You can find the full list of binds for each key available here: https://docs.unrealengine.com/udk/Three/KeyBinds.html

What game has the spacebar key called “space”?
This is just a guess but maybe try the obvious choice and write Spacebar instead?

ok, so I bound setbind spacebar “SetCrouch true | Jump | OnRelease SetCrouch true” 1

and it worked. the last part is supposed to not make me end up in a crouch. I have toggle crouch on.

I works, but intermittently. sometimes on a single jump, I keep sprinting and sometimes I end up in a crouch.

Does that bind look ok?

I’m not sure why it isn’t working properly all the time but I think it may be related to how longjumps are done in this game. A longjump is normally performed by jumping at the same time as you crouch. If you crouch and then jump it is just a normal jump so you’ll notice inconsistency due to that. You should really have it set as:

SetBind SpaceBar “SetCrouch True | Jump | OnRelease SetCrouch False” 1

If you intend to keep crouch toggle this is the only fix I can think of due to how longjumps work in this game.

Beyond that I can’t really make any further suggestions other than to abandon toggle crouch. It creates more issues than it is worth and can make binds like this more or less problematic.

Do I have to remap the spacebar in the keyboard controls for the bind to work?

Well logic would dictate you can’t have it bound to anything else in your controls. If you do have it that way it is prolly why it isn’t working all the time since its conflicting with an already set keybind.

just tested it, you have to switch jump in game controls to something other then SpaceBar, or the bind will not work at all.

it is still a little glitchy. Every now and again you still end up in a crouch if you don’t jump off a wall.

I guess turning off toggle crouch is the only way to get it to work perfectly.

OCB Wildcard, you seem to know about binds, is it possible to do a key bind so that the W key is always sprinting?

Technically there is a toggle sprint option. Just turn that on I use it and it doesn’t cause problems for any jumps or custom binds. In answer to your question though, yes, technically you could but it would be counter-intuitive as you don’t always wanna be sprinting around.
