Is there a command to bind a key to toggle crouch?

(frostyvampire) #1

I’m aware that you can change it to crouch toggle but that’s not what I want. I want a different key to toggle crouch and a different key to hold crouch.

I wanna bind CTRL to be toggle crouch but keep R as my normal hold to crouch.
Some times I need to crouch in defensive positions (mostly the bus on Chapel as a sniper) and it’s really annoying to hold R for so long. But I’m also used to hold crouch so changing it to toggle permanently would be even worse to me.

If you know a console command to do it, please comment below

I don’t know of any way to do it in-game, but do you have a fancy keyboard?
If you do you could set DB to toggle crouch and in your fancy keyboard bindings bind a key so when you press it, it presses crouch and when you release it, it presses crouch again (to mimic the hold to crouch function).

You can do it through shooterinput.ini by copying your current bind and then making a second one with a different key. But you’ll possibly need to set it to read only in order for the setting to not get overridden.

I do but I’m too lazy to learn how to do those stuff and everything. I just want a fast and easy way

I might try this out tomorrow.
But do you know the commands? I’m not good at those stuff

Look for what you have it currently bound to, copy that line, paste it underneath the other one and change the keyboard letter to whatever you want to use.

You’ll need to change the CrouchToggle boolean some how as well - true for CTRL and false for R. I’m sure others here can offer more help in this area but below is what I would try.

Replace the bindings for those keys in your ShooterInput.ini file under [ShooterGame.SGPlayerInputPawn]

Bindings=(Name=“LeftControl”,Command=“Duck | CrouchToggle true”,Control=False,Shift=False,Alt=False,bIgnoreCtrl=False,bIgnoreShift=False,bIgnoreAlt=False)

Bindings=(Name=“R”,Command=“Duck | CrouchToggle false”,Control=False,Shift=False,Alt=False,bIgnoreCtrl=False,bIgnoreShift=False,bIgnoreAlt=False)

Always be sure to save a copy of your config files before trying any changes. Binding the CrouchToggle boolean and duck command to a single key may not work as intended but perhaps worth a try. You could always bind two other keys to set CrouchToggle to true and false, then just use R to crouch in whichever mode you have enabled.

Ok I just changed it. Gonna test it out now and will edit this post with the results
Edit: It didn’t work. Maybe I did something wrong?

Do you know maybe a console command I can use instead of editing the files?

Sorry, wasn’t able to make that work either :frowning: You could make left control a CrouchToggle toggle and just use R to crouch in whichever mode you have enabled. You can try adding the alias below at the end of the [ShooterGame.SGPlayerInputPawn]. I’ll also try after work.

Bindings=(Name=“CrouchToggleT”,Command=“CrouchToggle true | setbind LeftControl CrouchToggleF”)
Bindings=(Name=“CrouchToggleF”,Command=“CrouchToggle false | setbind LeftControl CrouchToggleT”)
Bindings=(Name=“LeftControl”,Command=“CrouchToggleT”)

Also, lots of info here.

I’ll give it a try. But I won’t use CTRL for that.

Do you know the names of numpad 5 and 8 keys?
