Key Binds

[J Konstantine]

Bit of a nooby question, I have heard in the past that MTA supports key binds through the use of it's in game console. By that Im referring to a means of linking a line of text to a single keyboard button, so that when that button is pressed whilst not in the chat mode ('t' having been pressed) that line of text is shown or the command executed.

I know the SAMP server for example has lots of external based applications for key binding but I've not managed to find any that work for MTA's 1.0/nightly builds yet.

I've checked the wiki for details on this and I've not found any information on it, so either this feature is a misunderstanding or I've typed the wrong thing in the wiki.

If someone can help me I'd be grateful.

yep, you can bind any key to a command, with 'bind [args...]'.

For example:

bind k kick lil_Toady

bind l createvehicle banshee

bind F1 login 12345

bind F7 say hi!

may aswell bind controls this way:

bind lctrl fire

bind b jump

etc.

Much appreciated

if you want to use an external application you can use f8 instead of t. it works when you do it that way, but don't forget to close the console by another f8 hit in the end
