Help with the crouch key
Does anybody know any way to just press the ctrl key to stay crouched instead of holding it?

Re: Help with the crouch key
Best advice is to just get used to it.
I'm disabled and my left hand is half numb so I tried a macro way back to toggle crouch, and I can say with certainty that it's more headache than it's worth. First - if you go prone while forcing a crouch hold through a macro, there is a huge chance you'll just stand up out of the blue (from cover, you'll get shot pretty fast). Second, there is no visible indicator that you've now toggled a button on your keyboard, and when things get busy in-game, you don't want to go fiddling with your stance to be sure you are un-crouched. Got me killed or slowed down my movement too many times to be a viable option.
Just deal with it - go prone if you can so you don't need to hold it, or maybe put another crouch button on your mouse if you can so you can "take a break" without leaving a crouched stance.

Re: Help with the crouch key
Iirc BadSanta managed to hack crouch toggle into his client mod. No idea if that would work on dedicated tho.
Personally I am using a script for it and set crouch to C. I have no issues with it and the only thing that sometimes happens is me going crouch right after revive when I dies while crouching.

Re: Help with the crouch key
"Crouch_ingame" is the key you bound in your controls in PR to crouching. I suggest to use a key you normally dont use and does nothing in when typing etc, so right windows key was a good pick for me.agus92 wrote:what's the diff between crouch and crouch_ingame? I don't understand the description.
"Crouch" is the key you want to use for crouching, so they key you actually press while playing to crouch.

Re: Help with the crouch key
I think I get it. You still have to map "Crouch_ingame" in order to tell the script which key is "crouch" replacing, right?Mats391 wrote:"Crouch_ingame" is the key you bound in your controls in PR to crouching.

You have to tell the script which key to hold down in order to crouch in game.
