    Stupid question

    I have been putting it off for too long but...

    How do you crouch jump? Yes I admit it, I have logged hours and hours of TF2 but have never learned how to do it.

    Re: Stupid question

    You hit croutch and jump almost immediately afterwards, and it gives you something like +4 units of vertical. There is a specific timing that works that Valve has been in love with since at least the original Half Life. If you jump early you don't get the boost, and if you jump late the croutching will start to slow you down and you lose any potential range benefit.

    I've heard of people scripting it, but it's really not worth the trouble.

    Re: Stupid question

    Yeah, it's pretty much a bind as far as i know...

    bind "(a key)" ctrl+space?

    I dont know, you'd need to google it.

    Found it:

    alias +crouchjump "+jump; +duck"
    alias -crouchjump "-duck; -jump"
    bind "<key>" "+crouchjump"
    echo "Crouch Jump Loaded Properly."

    Any reason not to just all jumps to a crouch jump? (i.e. remap the space key)

    Played tonight, I just jump higher all the time. Can still do a move and jump and, as Scout, I can still double jump. I

    Well when I get the new comp up and running I will add this and see if it helps. Sounds interesting though...

    Next I am going to give the "rocket jump" and the "stab then cloak then disguise" scripts. Anything to help these old fat fingers of mine. Then I'll be better than all of you, right?

    Re: Stupid question

    I personally don't believe in Rocket Jump scripts. Alot of them really don't work well.

    Re: Stupid question

    I rarely ever cloak and disguise after a knife kill. If someone's watching you, you're as good as dead if you try to get away like that. Your best bet is to turn around and shoot them while backpedaling. Rocket jump might be useful, but it's as easy as shooting, jumping and crouching at the same time, much like ctrl+alt+del all at the same time.

    Re: Stupid question

    The problem with rocket jumping is you need to aim different places depending on what your doing so I'm not really sure how useful the script would be. Plus you can vary height by the gaps between crouch, jump and shoot.
