Spy script: BIG problem with +attack

14 years ago

Hello,

Since about 2 weeks I’m having a problem binding mouse2 to +attack2. No matter what I do, I can’t seem to bind ANY key to +attack2 when I’m using the spy class.

It ONLY happens when I am playing spy. But since cloaking is kinda handy when playing spy, I really would like to get this solved.

What I tried to do:

Unbind all, exec autoexec.cfg, exec config.cfg in my spy.cfg (didnt’ work)
I ran -autoconfig in my TF2 startup line (didn’t work)
I use the command bind “MOUSE2” “+attack2” in my console (didn’t work)

When I am typing this in console:

bind mouse2

I am getting:

“mouse2” = “+attack2”

I have absoluty no idea why it broke down. But my last resort is to completely re-install TF2 to solve this problem, since I fear +attack2 for the spy class is broken…

Anyone here has any idea, what might be the problem?

-Backup class cfgs/important settings
-Delete cfg folder
-Boot tf2
-Start a fresh.

I did that, Team Fortress installed a completely new CFG map like it should. But still no +attack2 posibility when using the spy class.. This is the most frustrating problem I had so far.

I am going for a fresh install now and hope that works. But if someone finds the solution to this problem, feel free to post here.

Have you tried opening your config.cfg with notepad++ or wordpad so it puts the breaks in, then fixing it, then making it read only? Because TF2 sometimes likes to change your config at random times ingame.

its a long shot, but i had this exact problem and it turned out to be because i didnt tick the box on mumble that says “surpress”, so i couldnt use secondary attack while holding down my push to talk button, and i couldn’t work out what the fuck was wrong for ages.

*Wabby: Only notepad, and TF2 is allowed to change the config, since it’s not read only. And it works, since I used “Options” to bind other keys after the -autoconfig statement.

*caneD: I wasn’t on mumble to whole time I tried to fix this. So that can’t be the problem. Besides, the +attack2 was working on other classes, just not with the spy-class

Still downloading TF2, Ill post here, if that fixes it. My best guess is that some gamefile got corrupted and is jamming the special attack of the spy class.
