Hi, I am fairly new to TT and would like to know if it is possible to use hotkeys to display messages instead of having to type them manually. If so, I will need detailed instructions. Thanks

Yes it is possible, no I do not know how....

Open up the main.cs file and paste this to the bottom.

                                        

                                        if (!$server::dedicated) {

                                          moveMap.bindCmd(keyboard, "R", "", "commandToServer('messageSent', "pass!");");

                                        }

                                        

For PCs the main.cs should be located in: BraveTree/ThinkTanks/Contents/Resources.

You can change the hot key and message to anything you want. Any server with team chat add "/tm" to the front of your message and only the team will see it. Good for league servers.

                                        

                                        if (!$server::dedicated) {

                                          moveMap.bindCmd(keyboard, "R", "", "commandToServer('messageSent', "/tm pass!");");

                                        }

                                        

If you're interested in the number keypad, it will only let you map 1-3-7-9. 2-4-5-6-8 are already binded as driving keys.

                                        

                                        if (!$server::dedicated) { 

                                         moveMap.bindCmd(keyboard, "numpad9", "", "commandToServer('messageSent', "/tm pass!");"); 

                                        }

                                        

EDIT - Yep, the forum is deleting the 2 highlighted items below. Add those and you should be good to go.

Thanks KBC, but I couldn't get it to work. Where do I put my message in the script? I assumed that the "R" meant that this was the hotkey for this script. Any suggestions?

Email me its in my profile(just click on my name) and I will set you up ! B)

Yup - there's a feature in the forum where it cuts out a character from the code that's posted. Without that character, the code won't work.

^Right you are. I pasted a screenshot of the missing character into my post above.

Good plan, KBC!

Perfect, it works great now. I owe you one. Now I won't feel quite so bad when you guys steal the scrum from me!
