Can It Be Done?

[Mulsiphix]

I have been looking for a way to easily change teams, while a game is in progress, for several days. To my knowledge there are no mutators available that accomplish this task for all game types. Eavy's Assault Bonus Pack (http://eavy.beyondunreal.com/assault.html) actually does this perfectly but only for Assault mode and I generally spend most of my time playing CTF and Domination maps. I came across this little bit of information in The BIG Unnoficial Unreal Tournament FAQ (http://cleaned.beyondunreal.com/UTFaq/ALIASES.HTM#_Toc479239129)

Fast PlayerSetup
<key>=menucmd 2 1
This brings up the player setup menu for faster team switching.

The only way I know how to change teams is to go into the Player Setup area and to change your color once the game has started. By using the Fast PlayerSetup key bind I am able to get to the screen nice and quickly but still have to hit the Escape key twice to return to my game.

The Question
Is it possible to bind a key to press other keys? For example: By pressing the Q key the escape button is pressed twice, which for my case would return me to the game when I finish changing teams in the PlayerSetup window.



FYI: Eavy does note that there used to be a console command for switching teams but Epic removed it to discourage people from doing so. He said the code still exists in UT which is how he was able to impliment it into his Assault pack.

It might be possable , but why do you need to? Binding a key to open the player pref, should be quick enough. Are you planning something tricky? :lol:

Keys can only binded to commands. You can launch several commands using one keypress using an alias but you can't invoke a keypress from within UT. However, if this is for playing online, there are some servers out there that allow you to quickly change teams using a command such as mutate switchteams. I'm not sure what mod does this but it may be part of SmartCTF or even the latest version of Pure (bit out of date with these things :p ).
