I cannot for the life of me get binds to work.

Post by CharlesMan »

So yeah I'm sitting here trying to laugh at people, but the listaudio method just takes too long, and by the time I get it ready there's no point. So I need myself a bind. However, even looking through both the online and built-in guides, my stuff seems to be wrong.

bind ins "bind = >$\sharklaugh;hldjsf"

As far as I can tell this SHOULD be correct, but alas it simply plays what was previously loaded. Assistance, por favor?

So long as "sharklaugh" is located in the correct location (i.e. "HLDJ\Audio\sharklaugh.wav") and you're using HLDJ 1.5.0, I see nothing wrong with that syntax.
Usually the culprit is just a typo somewhere (and especially when converting spaces to '*'); Double check your Audio path, the name of the file (including the extension), your syntax, etc. To be certain, you can upload your script file and a screenshot of your audio directory and I'll double-check it.

Also, you can try temporarily dropping the "exact path" and use a looser search term like:

Code: Select all

bind ins "bind = $\arkla;hldjsf"
keep making the search more and more specific until it approaches the actual filename and you'll be able to pinpoint the failure.

Haha oh no, you're right. Turns out I THOUGHT it was "sharklaugh" but it was just "shark" in the end. I should have tried something else before assuming there was a problem. Thanks!
