How do I edit autoexec.cfg to turn physgun button into a toggle?

[flcl75]

I find the chord-click required to move a ragdoll limb, then fix it in place, to be very non-ergonomic. I want q,e,c,mouse1 and mouse2 to be toggles, rather than buttons that must be held.

Editing C:\Games\Steam\steamapps\m_nadal\garrysmod\garrysmod\cfg\autoexec.cfg, I tried the following:

// toggle menu
unbind q
alias menu_off "-menu;bind q menu_on"
alias menu_on "+menu;bind q menu_off"
bind q menu_on

// toggle context menu
unbind c
alias context_menu_off "-menu_context;bind c context_menu_on"
alias context_menu_on "+menu_context;bind c context_menu_off"
bind c context_menu_on

// toggle physgun
unbind mouse1
alias let_go "slot1;-attack;bind mouse1 pick_up"
alias pick_up "slot1;+attack;bind mouse1 let_go"
bind mouse1 pick_up

// toggle hold
unbind mouse2
bind mouse2 "slot1;+attack2;-attack"

There's just a small problem with the above; It doesn't work. Q and C work fine, and mouse1 works as expected at first; Once I press mouse2 and fix the limb in place, however, mouse1 stops doing anything. I even tried 'bind mouse1 +attack', but that doesn't bring it back either.

What am I doing wrong? I noticed a few people wanted toggle functions for the next release, I figured this should be possible with scripting.

Any help or advice you could give me would be greatly appreciated.

IIRC, you can't do +attack and +attack2 at the same time. Try firing the SMG and launching a grenade at the same time.

Try adding a -attack2 command to the Mouse1 bit of the CFG.

Also 5000th post yay

Pretty sure you can. Just not with the SMG.

Edit: Holy shit you have 11 posts per day
Edit2: I think I used to have something like that too

I found a satisfactory solution:

// toggle physgun
unbind mouse1
alias let_go "slot1;-attack2;-attack;bind mouse1 pick_up"
alias pick_up "slot1;-attack2;+attack;bind mouse1 let_go"
bind mouse1 pick_up

// fix and release
unbind mouse2
alias fix_and_release "+attack2;-attack"
bind mouse2 fix_and_release

Somebody could probably improve on this. Maybe we should start a poll on wether people use gmod with the defaults, and if not, what changes do they make?
