Weapons Management with the Mouse

This weapons management script uses all the functions of a scroll wheel mouse to the maximum for weapons control. It is a short script and it is easy to install.

LMB – Fire selected weapon

RMB – Pull out a grenade

Roll mouse wheel up – Pull out your submachine gun/primary weapon

Roll mouse wheel down – The first time you roll this down you get your “first special” weapon. Medics get a needle; Lieutenants get air strike smoke; Engineers get the dynamite. The second time you roll it you get the other special item: a medic/ammo pack or the engineer tool. The script works in this fashion because you may need the needle or airstrike instantly to deal with a situation, but the secondary functions are usually used when you have a split second of breathing space.

Click scroll wheel – Toggle crouching on/off. This button could easily be set to reload your current weapon, but I crouch often enough that I wanted that function readily accessible.

Ideas for Expansion:

If you wanted to get fancy, this could be combined with a class-selector script to further customize weapons commands based on class. For example, the scroll wheel down functionality could vary for soldiers (pull a pistol for panzerfaust users, adjust sniper zoom when equipped with a mauser, etc).

Additionally, you could configure the “pull grenade” command to chat a warning to your team, (Heads up! I’m priming a GRENADE!) but that could result in a lot of false warnings and end up being quite annoying.
