Title: [Bug?] Alias in Chat
Post by: ic3y on January 04, 2014, 07:53:43 AM

I have two aliases:

Code: [Select]

alias +cball "cvar_set ball_life 1"
alias -cball "cvar_set ball_life 0"
bind v +cball
When I open the chat and enter a "v", my alias will be used.

Aaaand? I found this weird that we are supposed to know what's wrong. So far i'm unable to notice any bugs.

Just checked the behavior, and it looks like it only does the - alias.  This is probably to make sure you don't:

press v
press your chat key
release v
exit chat

If you did that, without the release behavior, you would get stuck in the + state without executing the - state.

For example, if you pressed the move forward key, opened chat, then released the forward key, you'd be stuck moving forward without the key being pressed.

Is this causing a problem?

Okay, then close it.
