User commands #

Featureful SDK introduces some new user commands useful in normal gameplay (for development-related commands see Developer console commands).

nightvision - toggle the NVG. Useful if player has both flashlight and NVG.
recruit_followers and disband_followers - see Fast recruiting.
dropammo - drop ammo entity for the current weapon. This might be useful in multiplayer, e.g. in co-op if you want to share your ammo with ally player. Whether this command is allowed depends on the mp_allowdropammo and sp_allowdropammo cvars. The drop itself depends on the dropammo of the weapon template.
dropammo2 - same as dropammo, but for secondary ammo (e.g. AR grenades from MP5).

These commands can be bound to selected keys via the bind console command. To add these commands to the keyboard options inteface, insert the following lines somewhere in your gfx/shell/kb_act.lst file:

"nightvision" "#Nightvision"
"recruit_followers" "#Recruit_Followers"
"disband_followers" "#Disband_Followers"
"dropammo" "#Drop_Ammo"
"dropammo2" "#Drop_Ammo_Secondary"

The # denotes that the actual text shown in the options menu will be taken from the localization file. In your resource/valve_english.txt add lines:

"Nightvision" "Nightvision"
"Recruit_Followers" "Recruit Followers"
"Disband_Followers" "Disband Followers"
"Drop_Ammo": "Drop Ammo"
"Drop_Ammo_Secondary": "Drop Secondary Ammo"
