Weapons Groups

[Denelo]

Alright, I'm probably about to feel very stupid for missing something that staring me right in the face, but here it goes:


I've been trying to get the weapons group to work. I assigned the keys to activate them as num pad 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. I made assigning them the same, only using ctrl-numpad number instead. But the problem is, they won't get assigned. Ive tried about 5 different ways to assign them, but then they don't activate when I press the key to activate them.

So, like I said before, I'm probably going to feel and seem like an idiot, but could anyone tell me how?

Well first. Weapon groups are very glitchy. Most of the time they don't work.

Try instead of using Fire Weapon Group, use 2 keys to turn weapon groups on and off.

Fire Weapons group does work. (I just don't remember how to do it exactly)

Try setting Weapon Group 1 to have all your normal guns on. (Don't bother setting the Fire Weapon)

Then weapon group 2 to the only guns you want, and set the fire weapon key. See what happens.

Alright, thanks, I'll try that. And I AM using the on/off keys instead of the fire keys. I didn't even know you could assign fire keys.. shows how much I know.

If the stars should appear one night in a thousand years, how would men believe and adore and preserve for many generations the remembrance of the city of God? - from 'Nightfall' by I. Asimov
The Outcasts consider Siniestre Nube a sacred place for several reasons. Early explorers discovered a jumphole within the depths of the cloud that leads to a strange world of ringed stars and strange craft. All ships in the burrial ground are placed facing that hole to honor the Alien Spirits. - An Outcast rumor

Denelo, I had a mare with weapons groups for ages, just had it explained to me what I was doing wrong
most of the time. Though it took being in voice contact to get it right.
All I can say is now I use a five button mouse to use those groups efficiently. Night's explanation of setting
up looks about as simple as you can get.

Thanks Nightfall, that worked perfectly.

Well first.. DBoy is wrong.

Nightfall is right.

And... USE THE SEARCH BUTTON. I made a freaking tutorial for weapon groups.:dry:

And make that sig smaller.. It takes up my entire screen till I scroll past.

1. Yes, I know Nightfall's right

2. I did, didn't see a thing, mabye you need to post to refresh that topic or something

3. you talking to me or Dboy? If to DBoy, I agree. If to me, it'll be halved soon.

Be warned Denelo, I have noticed that when you die, sometimes your weapon groups get re-set, or whatever one you were in gets deleted at the time you die.
