Hiya,

I hope i get more help here than I did in the Quake2 newsgroup - seems a
bit of an elitist ng - and coz I'm crap, I didn't quite make the grade!!

Anyway, let's cut to the chase - In Q2-CTF2 I've managed to bind a key
to "use grapple", but I'm sure that there's a command to switch the
weapon back to the previous one b4 the grapple was used.

If any of you *more helpful* people could point me in the right
direction I would be forever endebted !!! =80)

One question why did u use hook commands by swopping weapons why not try using
an alternate key like / for example instead of a weapon, this is what ive done
but then again l know my control config s crap and anyone with a good config
please contact me and elighten. If u want to use the kesy u have then im sorry
nut l dont the key to change back to a weapon.

SORRY.

Which ones that?

It depends how you want to do it, if you want it to fire whilst you hold
down a button then stop firing and change back to the weapon you had
before then you do summat like:

alias +hook "use grapple ; +attack"
alias -hook "-attack ; prevweap"
bind <your key> +hook

I'm not 100% on the prevweap command, it's something like that. For more
stuff on commands and binding and stuff heres some web pages snipped
from the UKQ2NG FAQ:

Try this.

//Quick Grapple (where 'shift' fires the hook)
alias +hook "use grapple;wait;+attack"
alias -hook "-attack;weaplast"
bind shift +hook

i know in some mods, that binding to "hook" and binding to "+hook", will
have different effects on the usage, never played q2 multiplayer, ne'er
minding ctf..

In Lithium2 +hook is used for the offhand grapple so the above aliases
(despite prevweap not being right) should work in lithium too. The + and
- bits are so that it executes the + bit when you press the button and
the - bit when you let go of the button.
