Solutions:
– Don’t use Q.
– Use a crosshair.

Also, why does it matter if your kukri has no crosshair? And you normally pull out the smg as a last stand where you will probably die anyway. If not, learn to use it without a crosshair or get one for your sniper rifle ^^

When I put the sniper script that removes the crosshair for sniper rifle into my sniper cfg, I start up TF2, and when I press 1,2,3,etc, it’s normal, but when I press Q, the crosshair for my SMG / Kukri is gone, anyone know how to fix this?

P.S – If this didn’t make sense tell me,but – ; tldr; crosshairs gone when I press Q for all my weapons (when im using the sniper rifle crosshair removal cfg thing)

I haven’t seen this sniper script of yours but but I’m pretty confident about how to fix it. I assume it looks something like this?

alias “xslot1” “slot1; cl_crosshair 0”
alias “xslot2” “slot2; cl_crosshair 1”
alias “xslot3” “slot3; cl_crosshair 1”

bind “1” “xslot1”
bind “2” “xslot2”
bind “3” “xslot3”
bind “q” “lastinv”

Lets say we do the following:
(1) Have kukuri in equipped
(2) Press 1 to equp sniper rifle
(3) Press q to switch back to kukuri
This leads to the problem of the crosshair not showing up for the kukuri. Lets follow the aliases and see what happens. At (2) you press 1, which invokes “xslot1”, which in turn equips the sniper rifle and disables the crosshair with “slot1” and “cl_crosshair 0” respectively. The game now remembers the kukuri in slot3 as our last used weapon. When we press q at (3) the game simply switches back to that weapon. The lastinv function doesn’t care about that we bound 1,2 and 3 to also make changes to the crosshair. It’s only concerned with changeing the weapons in our hands. Instead,
the behaviour we’re looking for is this: http://img46.imageshack.us/img46/7752/sniperlastinvscript.png

A script might look like this:

alias “xslot1” “slot1; cl_crosshair 0; bind 1 xslots1; bind 2 s2lst1; bind 3 s3lst1”
alias “xslot2” “slot2; cl_crosshair 1; bind 1 s1lst2; bind 2 xslot2; bind 3 s3lst2”
alias “xslot3” “slot3; cl_crosshair 1; bind 1 s1lst3; bind 2 s2lst3; bind 3 xslot3”

alias “s1lst2” “xslot1; bind q xslot2”
alias “s1lst3” “xslot1; bind q xslot3”
alias “s2lst1” “xslot2; bind q xslot1”
alias “s2lst3” “xslot2; bind q xslot3”
alias “s3lst1” “xslot3; bind q xslot1”
alias “s3lst2” “xslot3; bind q xslot2”

bind “1” “xslot1”
bind “2” “xslot2”
bind “3” “xslot3”

It’s the same script as before, with one difference. In addition to changing slot and putting the crosshair on and off the xslots also make sure that, in the next transition, q will be bound to the currently equipped weapon. Make sure tf_remember_activeweapon “1”, this will keep track of your last used weapon after respawn. I also suggest that you swap cl_crosshair 0 for some kind of crosshair, in case you have to no-scope someone. There is a crosshair that looks like a dot that will fit nicely inside the scope projection.
You could even have buttons to adjust the it’s color if you want it to completely melt in, like this:

alias “xslot1” “slot1; chsniper; bind 1 xslots1; bind 2 s2lst1; bind 3 s3lst1”
alias “xslot2” “slot2; chdf; bind 1 s1lst2; bind 2 xslot2; bind 3 s3lst2”
alias “xslot3” “slot3; chdf; bind 1 s1lst3; bind 2 s2lst3; bind 3 xslot3”

alias “dfch” “cl_crosshair_file crosshair7; cl_crosshair_scale 32; cl_crosshair_red 0; cl_crosshair_green 255; cl_crosshair_blue 0”
alias “chred” “cl_crosshair_file crosshair3; cl_crosshair_scale 48; cl_crosshair_red 255; cl_crosshair_green 0; cl_crosshair_blue 0”
alias “chblu” “cl_crosshair_file crosshair3; cl_crosshair_scale 48; cl_crosshair_red 0; cl_crosshair_green 0; cl_crosshair_blue 255”

bind “uparrow” “alias chsniper chred”
bind “downarrow” “alias chsniper chblu”

alias “chsniper” “chred”

Another option is to simply skip the whole lastinv idea and bind your weapons to e, q and f. I use this setup and I find all weapon to be well within reach without having to use a lastinv macro. Oh, and I haven’t tried it so it’s not guaranteed to work on the first try.

alright so, I know nothing about scripts, so I got confused, but your saying put this into my sniper cfg;
[…]

if i put that, what do I put in my other class cfg’s to make it normal? :/

cmds to rebind 1, 2 and 3 to their normal commands — this should do it:

bind 1 “slot1”
bind 2 “slot2”
bind 3 “slot3”

whoops, didn’t see q.

Use binds
