[Tutorial] How to toggle duck

[Craynon]

Note: This is a rough approximation of a guide that used to be on these forums.

Tired of not being able to talk whilst crouching? Well fear not! I have a solution.

You're going to need to create three files in your C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\<Login Name>\garrysmod\garrysmod\cfg folder.

These files are:

• autoexec.cfg
• myaliases.cfg
• mybindings.cfg

In autoexec.cfg, type:

exec myaliases.cfg
exec mybindings.cfg

In myaliases.cfg, type:

alias duck_t "duck_on"
alias duck_on "alias duck_t duck_off; +duck; developer 1; echo Crouching (on); developer 0"
alias duck_off "alias duck_t duck_on; -duck; developer 1; echo Crouching (off); developer 0"

In mybindings.cfg, type:

bind "<KEY>" "duck_t"

Remember to replace <KEY> with the key of your choice.

Then just save these three files, restart Gmod et Voilá! 1 custom crouch keybind!

Enjoy!

~+duck

~-duck

 

[Craynon]

~+duck

~-duck

Can you bind that to a single key though?

Ah, I remember this. You can just copypaste this whole block into aliases.cfg:

//Walk Toggle
alias walk_t "walk_on"
alias walk_on "alias walk_t walk_off; +forward; developer 1; echo Walking (on); developer 0"
alias walk_off "alias walk_t walk_on; -forward; developer 1; echo Walking (off); developer 0"

//Crouch Toggle
alias duck_t "duck_on"
alias duck_on "alias duck_t duck_off; +duck; developer 1; echo Crouching (on); developer 0"
alias duck_off "alias duck_t duck_on; -duck; developer 1; echo Crouching (off); developer 0"

Touche.

alias duck_t "duck_on"
alias duck_on "alias duck_t duck_off; +duck; developer 1; echo Crouching (on); developer 0"
alias duck_off "alias duck_t duck_on; -duck; developer 1; echo Crouching (off); developer 0"

Ah, I forgot about the walk toggle. Cheers for that.

Or if you want,

Garrysmod>Garrysmod>Lua>Autorun>Client and create a Lua file with this inside,

function ToggleDuck(ply)
if (CLIENT) then
if not ply.TogD then ply.TogD = false end
if ply.TogD == false then
ply.TogD = true
ply:ConCommand("+duck")
else
ply.TogD = false
ply:ConCommand("-duck")
end
end
end
concommand.Add("ToggleDuck",ToggleDuck)

And bind toggleduck to whatever key you use to duck.
-Easy enough format to change this to allow you to toggle whatever you want.

concommand.Add('rp_toggleduck', function() RunConsoleCommand(LocalPlayer():KeyDown(IN_DUCK) and '-duck' or '+duck') end)

ply:ConCommand on LocalPlayer() is deprecated; the "ply" parameter is useless as it will always be LocalPlayer(), in addition the CLIENT check isn't required because, well, it's only executed on the client.

/shrug, Just a script that a guy with no knowledge of Lua touched.

 

[Zaubermuffin]

No problem. I didn't mean to offend or anything, I just wanted to point out some things.

 

[myersguy]

Haha, this is my guide. Awesome.

No matter what I do, it consistently says
Unknown command: duck_t
Unknown command: walk_t

And I swear I've done everything right. It worked before I reformatted my computer, I dunno why it's not working now. :<

Same here, I gave up after spending a day or two looking into this :(

+duck in console
-duck in console

Place this file in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\YOURSTEAMNAME\garrysmod\garrysmod\lua\autorun\Client

bind ctrl toggleduck in console

 

[Zaubermuffin]

One could simply bind my lua script too:

bind i "lua_run_cl RunConsoleCommand(LocalPlayer():KeyDown(IN_DUCK) and '-duck' or '+duck')"

 

[Foley]

It worked perfectly fine for me lol.

 

[Mongoose]

Terribly sorry for bumping this, but does this still work?

 

[[1999]ShenPls]

The one in the OP does, yeah. It works for all source games and has perfectly for years in all Source games.

 

[Zaubermuffin]

quite sure my lua snippet still works, too
