Hello there! I love this mod and it had great code! I was looking for a way to make a hold2fire pistol script, to help with the carpal tunnel since i love using pistols, but my hands always cramp up using them!

I used a fork of two mods to combine two together, Full credit to all authors! One mod was used for fire mode switching. The other was a rapid fire script.

// Hold2Fire Pistols V4.1 Tweaks by Rukanth

// Merge of two mods. All Credits to their respective owners!
// [Mod1: Selective fire By: LoadedAK47 , Alexandrovich , Gejsiv , Crowbait , GingaNinja , EvilJackCarver" , Mod2: Rapid fire by Oskin]

// To install this, you need to copy paste this file into notepad, save as "autoexec.cfg",
// and place it in your local files \Steam\steamapps\common\Left 4 Dead 2\left4dead2\cfg\ files saved as autoexec.cfg.

// Guide: Pressing Q Swaps modes, white = Normal fire, Green = Hold2fire on pistols.
// V makes you go afk (optional)

// NOTE: You will get Press [?] to join when m1 is set to hold2Fire, just press q to rebind m1 so you can join.


// (V 5.1: 6/13/2023: Basically in finished state. Fire rates has a note for modern computers that may be worth a try.

// CrossHair Binds {Selective Fire}
alias doNormal "bind mouse1 +attack; normalcross" // Normal Fire
alias doHold2Fire "bind mouse1 +burst; autoCross" // Green Crosshair: Hold to fire (Good for pistols, tank snipers, and easier ak47 tap fire)

// Fast Fire Script, Based on Oskin's, tweaked numbers to fit pistols and work with modes..
alias "+burst" "alias 3 +2; +2" // (Autofire works by making a +- attack loop)


alias "+2" "+attack; wait 2; -attack; wait 2; 3" // (+2's Waits control firing rates. The ideal firing time is about 3.0-3.1s for 30 shots. I found 2+2 worked best on my old pc, and 5+4 worked best on my new pc. Feel free to experiment.)

// Alternative fire rate
// alias "+2" "+attack; wait 5; -attack; wait 4; 3" // (Depending on computer, changing waits's timer can affect the speed of your shots. Feel free to try messing around with it for your computer/desired speed.)

alias "3" "+2" // {This line makes canceling fire possible. If you remove this, you CAN'T stop.}
alias "-burst" "alias 3 -attack"


// [Below Alias are for the fire modes you switch between. ]
alias firetoggle baseFire; -burst;
alias baseFire "doNormal; -burst; alias firetoggle hold2Fire"
alias hold2Fire "doHold2Fire; -burst; alias firetoggle baseFire"


// These lines control the crosshair colors. White = Normal fire, Green = Hold2fire.
alias normalcross "cl_crosshair_blue 255; cl_crosshair_green 255; cl_crosshair_red 255; cl_crosshair_thickness 3; cl_colorblind 1; -reload"
alias autoCross "cl_crosshair_red 0; cl_crosshair_blue 0; cl_crosshair_green 255; cl_crosshair_thickness 3; cl_colorblind 0; -reload"


// [These bindings let you determine the default mode you enter when using 1-5 to switch.]]
// [For sake of convenience, 2 sets autofire on by default, but you can disable it if you want.]]

bind 1 "baseFire; -burst; normalcross; slot1" // Primaries set to base fire. Q to swap
bind 2 "hold2Fire; autoCross; slot2" // Sets Pistols/melee to hold2Fire by default, can be changed to toggle only. -Ruk
bind 3 "baseFire; -burst; normalcross; slot3" // If for some reason you had rapid fire grenades, you could turn this on.
bind 4 "baseFire; -burst; normalcross; slot4" // You don't want rapid fire medkit spam, DO you?
bind 5 "baseFire; -burst; normalcross; slot5" // Pills/Adrenaline
bind mwheelup "baseFire;normalcross; invprev"
bind mwheeldown "baseFire;normalcross; invnext"

//bind q "lastinv; baseFire; normalcross; reload2" // If you want to keep q's functionality, delete the comment lines and change out the q bind below to another key to swap modes..

// Key Binding
bind q "firetoggle; -burst; playgamesound Weapon_Scout.ClipLocked" // This button is what you use to switch modes. Feel free to change Q to your button of choice if desired.

bind v go_away_from_keyboard // Optional V to go AFK, Only needs to be ran once ever. "unbind v" to remove bind, or delete this line if you don't want it.

// mat_monitorgamma_tv_enabled 1 // Can Brightens my dark Screen problems / Makes l4d2 brighter for certain pcs. This has nothing to do with hold2fire. It just also uses the autoexec.cfg file lol.
