Disabling secondary fire on Xbow...

How do I do that?? When in fight, I get excited and BAM! I am in scope.. and I loose the fight. I never scope, so why do I need it? Is there a way to disable it? PLUS couldn't i just zoom if I ever needed it?

Thanks!

You can just zoom if you have toggle zoom bound. The only way to disable it without disabling other weapons is to write a script which is not legal in most HL2DM leagues and most servers frown on it. The better option is just to learn to control yourself. After all everyone gets excited and makes mistakes the ability to control that is a skill that good gamers have, if learn to control your excitement you will become a better gamer in more areas then just xbow zoom.

Do you have a Razer Copperhead? Used to do that with that little thing.
The only real solution may be to practice a little mouse control, don't get so excited and stop spamming Mouse 2 when in battle. You wouldn't want to disable it, would you? The Horror! No Bow zoom?!?!?
No long range snipes. Unthinkable.

Pomp this happens to me too. Its very annoying but not worth disabling it. I use xbow zoom sometimes and it is useful. I agree with Fear and Impala, we both need to calm down and develop more control. :roll:

I actually prefer out of control female warriors.

But yeah, don't nix the cb zoom.

LMAO!
Cellar....be careful what you wish for.......could be dangerous......

Whoops , Like I said, it's been a while since I've seen Xena!!

Wow I NEVER thought I'd see Xena in hl2uni..

I like trying to bhop while zoomed in, you have to kinda move the mouse around the whole table really fast :roll:

They are right though, only logical solution is control

Kate Beckinsale!! Good to see her here as well!!

I find xbow secondary fire to be a problem when i do a fast swap from xbow to ggun, hit secondary and end up zooming in on whatever i wanted to catch before it kills me. Annoying, and not easy to prevent since its due to ping-related slow weapon switching response, so the only real solution would be to react slower, which is no solution at all. I end up doing the same thing with smgnades once in a while as well, which is generally just as fatal although it often manages to take the opponent with me.

I fear the only way is as said would eto use a script. When i played HL1DM i used a scriipt to switch the gauss frimary and secondary fires so i pressed mouse 1 to charge up instead of 2course that did the same for all other weapons unless you added an alias to each weapon bind.
Add this to autoexec. So for your xbow bind -bowzoom and for all others add +bowzoom e.g Now i have no idea if it will work becasue i am typing this from my bed on my PS3 so have not tested it also my scripting skills are limited
Crap u beat me to it

Why over complicate it, as far as i can see they do the same thing in exactly the same manner.

ok.. well it has been a problem only since I started using a REAL mouse (Razer diamondback) I guess they are sensitive that even a small tap will send me there, maybe if it would not lock in place? Well I am working on mellowing out, I am too aggressive and don't know when to back out of a fight. All of this is part of my training I suppose... I am VERY spastic still, especially since I cant tell the difference in the keys, I have reduced sensitivity in my left hand due to nerve damage. I have to figure something out. I am not going the way of the script, I wanna be 100% legit and be as icy cool as fearsome, whom (by the way) I always just wanna hug

I hugged fearsome once. It did 100/200.

When he pistol whipped you from one end of the map to the other afterwards?

Yeah that one seems to work, but how about this? ?

Copy-Paste.

Well.. maybe not..

A little late, but this seems to me be a problem with Razer mice rather than anything else. You should be able to rest your fingers on the mouse buttons, not having to use your muscles to not make a click. At least the Copperhead I've tried seemed dangerous to use in the long run. Logitech ftw!

I can rest my fingers on my Deathadder without clicking. Might be an issue with the Copperhead but it's certainly not a Razer one.

It does seem to be much more of an issue with a gaming mouse, since they may just be more sensitive. I am trying to be learn to not hit it and its been about 2 months with a mouse now so it has gotten much better, I had also switched hands so my right hand was just clicking anything at the begining.

Thanks for all the help!!~~

Say WHAT??!!

She was playing left hand on mouse, and has since switched to right hand on mouse iirc. If I understand her correctly she is saying it took time to adjust to swapping hands in order to not accidentally right click.

Yeah, but... switching hands? Sounds like a true PIA if you ask me.

I know it's easy to say now, but mail yourself your config. That way you not only have a backup, but also a way to quickly get started if you ever find yourself wanting to play at another computer somewhere.
