Stuck in sprint


(dwight123) #1

Whenever I press shift (my sprint key) i am stuck in sprint until i either slide, climb, use ironsights or shoot. Is there a command I can use to fix this?


(Nail) #2

you’ve set it as a toggle

What happens if you let go of “W”?


(slengteng) #4

It’s because sprint is a toggle


(dwight123) #5

Yes, letting go of W will stop me sprinting. Is this the default settings for sprint? Because I didnt notice it until I installed a CFG (which I checked, had no lines about sprint). What I want is sprint to be the same as W:ET and QW, i.e. Letting go of shift I will stop sprinting.

its called toggle sprint you can turn it off in the options and yes it is default behaiviour.
i think everyone has sprint on permanent in Quake world.

I’m pretty sure he meant quake wars and not quake world and no, I’ve never seen any id based game have toggle sprint by default and no there is no option in the menu to stop that. It’s because this key is now a combo key, it acts as sprint and smart.

But yes, I want a sprint function where I let go and stop sprinting…

The behaviour you describe is by design and aimed to make it easier to S.M.A.R.T. without having press a button each time.

Tried in_toggleSprint and in_toggleRun, but they don’t disable it

Yes as I mentioned it is by design, albeit a poorly chosen one. Just by the fact that no game (including your own games) have sprint function in this manner should give you pause on deciding to go this route.

Having two different keys for Sprint and S.M.A.R.T. wasn’t favoured.

This isn’t a technical issue, so if you still feel you’d like to suggest the behaviour be otherwise, you can put your case to the designers in the General Discussion forum.
