Gun change

Does anyone know the commands for counter strike to change the way you switch guns? There is a way to automaticly change your gun by hitting 1 - 5, without having to use the mouse.

Happy hunting,

as far as i know... you can only use the 1-5 # keys and the wheel on the mouse.

is there another way? maybe the number pad? im so confused!

Wait... the numbers 1-5 are already set for changing weapons... the only thing that can be changed is the fast switch, which either activates or deactivates a little menu that appears at the top of the screen when you're changing weapons.

what exactly does the "hud_fastswitch 1" command do for you?

I hope you dont have to type that in every time you want to "fast switch" your weapon.

I use hud_fastswitch 1
it basically does exactly what he's asking for, switches weapons without having to click to select.

And no, you only have to put it in once...

Ender, you already have it on

That option is in the Options menu, just go to the keyboard tab and there's a button at the bottom for "Advanced", and under that menu the quick switch option is there.

wait.. what is it?

your talking abou the mouse wheel?

i though we were talking about a different way to switch weapons without the mouse or the keyboard.

I'm such a n00b!!

Sombody pwn me!

Without quick switch, when you hit a number on the keyboard it'll show that little menu at the top. I think if you just hit the number again it'll actually switch to that weapon.

Can you believe that I got kicked from a server for quick switching through my weapons??

OH!!!! ok i get it now..

Yeah i remember the non-quick switching weapon set. It was definetly slower. If you already know what guns are where, why do you need a nifty lil' picture to tell you again.

That's lame that you got kicked for that. How could they tell? or was it a thing built into the server?

they can tell because sometimes you switch weapons so fast that the weapon never actually comes all the way out.

I dunno why you'd get kicked for that though.. lame admin would be my guess...

sometimes out of boredom I do the same thing with the fast switch...

Some admins are saying that when using sniper weapons (Scout and AWP) quick switching them so you can fire faster is cheating and those that they catch doing it get kicked.

Those are just punks who are mad that you are kicking thier butt. I know you kick my butt a good portion of the time, dark.

Awp gun-switching is, designated by Steam and Valve and TWL/CAL/OGL, a game exploit, therefore a cheat, and illegal in gameplay.

How can it be considered a game exploit when it was made into the game by the makers themselves?
