MGFTW Bind Commands
By Hay-wee
This guide can be for anyone or any server, but I made this for MGFTW players. It's hard trying type !buy or something real quick without team being to far or getting attack by special infected. This is the fastest way I know how to do it and it's very helpful and not that hard to do.

MGFTW Bind Keys
Step One: Enable Console
First, you have to enable your console.
Go to
options
>
keyboard/mouse
>
Allow Developer Console
> click
enable
>
done


Step By Step of enabling console screenshots

1. Options > Keyboard/Mouse


2.Allow Developer Console > Enable


3. Click Done
Step Two: How to bring up console
There is a key on the top left of your keybard.
It's above the Tab key and the left of the 1 key.

It looks like this ~

Now, when you click on ~ you should see something like this

Step Three: Bind a key
Here is what you type in conolse (this is an example)

bind p "say /tank"

Should look like this.

Then enter into console.

Step Four: The Commands
The commands in MG are:

!buy or /buy
!cp or /cp
!laseron or /laseron
!gp or /gp
!rep or /rep
!tankhp or /tankhp
!players or /player
!mapvotes or /mapvotes
!mapvote or /mapvote
!votekick or /votekick
!donor or /donor
!csm or /csm


Now, I do not use all these commands or have them all as bind keys.
What my bind keys are (I do not use defualt controls and I know some of these are default controls)
j is /cp
k is /buy
l is /laseron
p is /tankhp
t is thank you
Step Five: Complex bind syntax
These are done the same way, but the get things directly. And it's also is VERY fast as well. Bind Key Syntax for MG PR Servers


From |MG| erik the Contributor and admin from MGFTW)
Example(s): Bind "F4" "say /buy; menuselect 1; menuselect 2; menuselect 1"
That will buy you an M16.

Bind "F8" "say /buy; menuselect 3; menuselect 1; menuselect 3"
That will buy you a vomint jar.


NOTE: You don't have to use F8, that's just the example we're using. In that example, pressing F8 does that function. You can substitute it with any Function Key you want, or letter.

WARNING: DO NOT USE F1 OR F2, those must be reserved for voting purposes, such as votekicks.
Step Six: How to unbind key
Like the example we have used above
bind k "say /buy"

to unbind it you wiil type in console
unbind k "say /buy"
Step Seven: How to you bind key in game
I use the "/" commands because it doesn't show up in the chat box and spam the chat box.
The "!" I rarely use becuse it does show up in chat box and spams the chat box.
So I do recommand using the / in the server.

____________________________________________________________________

So when you are in the mgftw server and you want to use the bind key. All you have to do is click on the letter that the bind key is for that commands.

Like in the example above I used K for /buy

so all I do is click the key on my keyboard that is K. (DO NOT BRING UP CHAT BOX AND TYPE IN K, that is not how it works) That should bring up the buy menu up quicker for you then typing it.

Hey, this is |MG| erik. I quit MG back when they unbanned people who should have been banned. I had no choice.

You can remove me from this guide if you'd like.

They pretty much erased any evidence I ever existed there, anyways.

The reason I searched this up was to keybind the screaming of one of the charactors (when they fall off a building) to make funny video

How does one bind the "H" key to the z_spawn hunter command?

While I already know how to do this, it was good seeing a really clear, detailed & easy to understand guide done on it. Also learned a new thing (about / not showing up in chat), so Thanks ^-^
