bind is deprecated, you need to use set:

set foobar "+moveup;wait;+attack;wait;-attack;wait;-moveup"
bind r vstr foo

you have to wait a gametic after every action because you can't two things at
the same time (but since a gametic is <<1s, it just seems they happen
simoultanously).

dont forget to use 'vstr foo', instead of 'foo' in the bind command. vstr will
evalute the variable you set, and not to show it.

I was wondering if & how to bind a single key for 2 or 3 actions. As in jump
& fire then say move back.

I've tried a few combinations in config file but will only do 1 of the
comands or none at all.

I tried lines like...

bind k "+moveup"; "+attack"

bind k "+moveup" "+attack"

bind k "+moveup +attack" etc...

If anyone knows how to do this, could you please let me know.

Thanks

Grot

ps. This question is for Quake3

Hi, fellow Zipster! :)

You *almost* got it right above... hehehe... do this:

bind k "+moveup ; +attack"

On some PC's you might need a "wait" or two like so:

bind k "+moveup ; wait ; +attack"

Dunno about Quake 3...but for normal Quake and Quake 2, you need to create an
alias and then bind that to your key. Try this:

alias runfire "+forward; +attack"
bind k "runfire"

you always need a ';' between commands. I used +forward insead of +moveup as
+moveup is for climbing and will fire into the ladder you are climbing.

Hope this helps
