America's Army/Console Scripting

Note: Pretty much anything in this will now get you banned from TWL.

In-game binding

Hit ~ to bring down console then type:

bind [key] [command]

Example

bind x say Good Job

The X key is now permanently bound (User.ini modified) to say "Good Job". say can be replaced with teamsay, commoradio, commoshout, commowhisper, commosquad, commohand, or any of the actions listed below. If you do a commobinding, refer to the Commo command list below to see which numbers to use for which commo commands.

Example

bind x commoradio 1

This will make you radio "Move out" according to the commoradio list below due to the number 1 in the binding. Multiple bindings can be done on the fly also (illegal in TWL). To add extra binds to a key use "|" with a space on either side.

Example

bind x teamsay Reloading! | reload

When you press X, this bind will say "Reloading!" to your team and then it will reload your gun. You can, of course, rebind it to something else at any time. It will replace the old bind you had there if any. This will mess you up if you bind it to a movement key. You will then have to go to the settings panel and change it back or type bind [key] [movement name] to fix it.

User.ini Binding

Eventually, you may find that you have more bindings than keys, especially if you make make-specific binds. In order to get around this problem, you can load binds with a text file. In your user.ini file you would have:

[key]=exec FILENAME.txt

Within FILENAME.txt would look like the following:

bind [key] [command]

bind [key] [command]

bind [key] [command]

User.ini Example

X=exec mybinds.txt

Y=

Z=

Within mybinds.txt would look like the following:

bind Y Say Hello world

bind Z Say Hi there

When you load the game, hitting Y will do nothing. But if you hit X, it will bind Y to say "Hello World". Using multiple .txt files, you can swap large numbers of binds in and out of your User.ini file.

Note: You can modify your user.ini file directly to create individual binds (without the file swapping described above). Just open it up in a text editor (such as Notepad), find the keys you want to change, modify them how you want, then save the file and open AA. In Windows the user.ini file, by default, is located at C:\Program Files\America's Army\System\user.ini

Binding Commo messages

[key]=commo[list] | CommoSendMessage [x]

Where [list] is radio, shout, whisper, squad, or hand, and [x] is 1–28.

Example

[key]=commohand | CommoSendMessage 6

Now for you own:

[key]=CommoHand | CommoSendMessage 1

A problem with the above is that it leaves the commo mode in CommoHand. To fix it, use:

[key]=CommoHand | CommoSendMessage 1 | CommoRadio

Now it leaves the Radio menu open and you have to hit a key to shut it. So to continue the fix, use:

[key]=CommoHand | CommoSendMessage 1 | CommoRadio | CommoSendMessage 99

This works correctly by sending a bogus commosendmessage to CommoRadio.
