CTF hook binds

[Harsh24x7]

I'm trying to get a hook alias that works for me, what I thought would work apparently doesn't.

alias +grap "impulse 22"
alias -grap "bestweapon 7 8 5 6 4 3 2 1"
bind / "+grap"

any help how to get this to work, so far it just goes to bestweapon

Your alias will select the hook when you press down, then switch back to your bestweapon when you let off the button.

On modern ctf mods, you can just use impulse 69 to revert back to your last weapon prior to the hook.

But honestly, you are disallowing yourself the learning skill of the hook.
The hook behaves exactly like any other weapon, shotgun etc. impulse X to select +attack to use. This is why I use left and right mouse buttons, mouse1 +attack, mouse2 "impulse 22". My right hand selects aim and deploys the hook. While my left had does all the footwork.

But for the sake of your post:

alias w5 "wait;wait;wait;wait;wait;"
alias +grap "impulse 22;w5;w5;w5;+attack;"
alias -grap "w5;-attack;w5;-attack;w5;w5;impulse 69"

I added a double -attack there so you wont get stuck in case of lag.

Quote the key also:
bind "/" "+grap"

sometimes it wont work w/o them.
