from the commands list:

Weapon1 select weapon group 1 as active for +Shoot2
Weapon2 select weapon group 2 as active for +Shoot2
Weapon3 select weapon group 3 as active for +Shoot1
Weapon4 select weapon group 4 as active for +Shoot1
Weapon5 select weapon group 5 as active for +Shoot1
Weapon6 select weapon group 6 as active for +Shoot3
Weapon7 select weapon group 7 as active for +Shoot3
Missile1 same as Weapon3
Missile2 same as Weapon4
Missile3 same as Weapon5
Mine1 same as Weapon6
Mine2 same as Weapon7

Is it just me, or is this intentionally messed up?

I tried using Mine2 to set tertiary to group 2, but I get "Error: no such command 'Mine2'" Mine1 does... something... but whatever it does, it's not to set tertiary to group 1.

I'm trying to make a toggle between weapon group 1 and weapon group 2. I based it off one I found somewhere before, though can't locate now...

alias wepswitch "wepswitch2"
alias wepswitch1 "Weapon1; Missile1; alias wepswitch wepswitch2; echo '[][][] Primary Weapon Mode Activated [][][]'"
alias wepswitch2 "Weapon2; Missile2; alias wepswitch wepswitch1; echo '[][][] Assault Weapon Mode Activated [][][]'"

but this ONLY switches the primary and secondary weapons between groups 1 and 2. I figured I could modify it to work with all three, like so:

alias wepswitch "wepswitch2"
alias wepswitch1 "Weapon1; Missile1; Mine1; alias wepswitch wepswitch2; echo '[][][] Primary Weapon Mode Activated [][][]'"
alias wepswitch2 "Weapon2; Missile2; Mine2; alias wepswitch wepswitch1; echo '[][][] Assault Weapon Mode Activated [][][]'"

but it doesn't, and I get the error regarding Mine2 not being a command.

So how DO the weapon group bindings work? I don't have the default ones anymore, because of targetless, so I don't know how to fix it.

Looking at my wgaf file, I have:
Weapon1 = group1
Weapon2 = group2
Missile1 = group3
Missile2 = group4
Missile3 = group5
Mine1 = group6

I think there are only 6 groups, so maybe the others are all invalid?

But now that I think about it, I never have used any group larger than 3, so my config could be wrong and I would never know it (I edited my file so it no longer uses the defaults).

ok, seems like weapon1/weapon2 alone does work... so the +shoot1 +shoot2 +shoot3 in the commands list is inaccurate and misleading.

Yeah, Shoot1 and Shoot2 are reversed. It's legacy and can't be changed without messing everyone up.

Oh come on. It'll be fun. You guys could sit back and watch on irc and laugh your asses off!

I don't mean that they're reversed... I mean that they don't actually apply to weapon1 weapon2 etc... as the commands list implies.

Nothings legacy as far as Im concerned.... swap it and let us deal with it before there are too many players ....
