KeyBind Guide

So recently there's been a new change to the old rule that stated that key-bind's were not allowed to be used in Argonath, and in this case, SA:MP.
On the 17/06/2015 the HQ team of the SA:MP server decided to remove that rule allowing back key-binds and with this a hole new side that people are unaware appeared.
The keybinder can be used for roleplay as it is much easier to type stuff out, for example:

- Keybinders can be used to describe your character, make roleplay commands, such as, unholstering your weapon, for example:

• Pedro would be wearing an LSPD uniform with a Supervisory Sergeant badge, SWAT Patch, SAPD Academy Patch and would look to be around 24 Y/O, White male, 6' and around 185 LBS.
• unholsters his glock 22 from the holster as he flipps the safety OFF.

- They also give you the ability to type stuff faster, for example, if you're in a pursuit, and you need to warn the driver to stop, without you stopping to type /s2 or /s3, you can simple assign one hotkey that it would type it for you, for example: LSPD - Stop and surrender now! . This will reduce the time you take to type /s2 and you can keep on pursuit

What is a Key-binder?
A key-binder is a program that allows you to perform certain commands or phrases with a simple press of a key or button.


What Key-Binder do we recommend?
AutoHotkey

How to install it?

• First download and install the program that you can find here.
• On the third window of the installation process you need to have "Main program" marked or it wont install Autohotkey for you.
• Just complete the rest of the installation like you would with another program.
• Once you are done with your installation run the Autohotkey.exe when you start the Autohotkey.exe there should pop up a green icon on your taskbar.
• Right click it and chose ''Edit this script'', now a notepad documents should appear, there should be some texts on it, delete them, once the notepad is clear thats where you will write your key-bind script.

How to make a simple script for the AutoHotkey?

Let's say you want to make a simple /me , like /me twists the key's of the vehicle turning on the engine
[/list]

Code: [Select]

Key:: Sendinput t/me twists the key's of the vehicle turning on the engine{enter}
The ''Key'' You should place the key you want, for example i want it CTRL+E i would place ''^'' and E so it would look like:

Code: [Select]

^e:: Sendinput t/me twists the key's of the vehicle turning on the engine{enter}
Now let's say you want something to type like you want to be able to type /MP5 on the SA:MP chat and it would say, /me swings his MP5 cocking the bolt., that's also possible!

Code: [Select]

:?:t/mp5::{enter}t/me swings his MP5 cocking the bolt{enter}And so on, this tool makes it so you can not only use key-binds but also written commands!

Now on the top we have described our self this is also easy to make, but we have to make it into two lines

Code: [Select]

Numpad5::
{
SendInput t/em *Celso Williams would be wearing an LSPD uniform with a Sergeant badge, SWAT/TRU Patch, SAPD Academy Patch.*                                                                     {enter}
sendinput t/em *and would look to be around 26 Y/O, White male, 6' and around 190 LBS, fit build.*                                                                                               {enter}
}In this case we chose ''Numpad5'' to be the ''KEY''

Now some CMD's.

Code: [Select]

Never place a ! in your key-bind this may make your game crash, instead use {!} it's basically a ! as well but without the crashing!

^ - CTRL

For Numpad number use on the ''Key'' - Numpad1 / Numpad2 etc....

{enter} Should be at the end of any key-bind so it will forward it automatically.

! - If you type it on ''KEY'' it means ALT, you can also make it ''!e'' so it's basically ALT+E.
