INTRODUCTION
By default, we have two ways to draw the Taser:
- By pressing "2" key once to draw the pistol, then press it again to switch to the Taser. (Should I even say how annoying this is?)
- Or by pressing "2" key and scroll up to select the Taser. (Still, you need two actions.)
Looks like the devs intentionally made it complicated to reflect real-life scenarios where cops sometimes pull their gun instead of a Taser.
It'd be great if we had the option to completely unequip unused weapons and tactical devices, so we can beat suspects with our bare hands! :D But seriously, when your job is to carry gas grenades or other tools, there’s no point in taking ammo for your main gun, and it just becomes useless. Same for the "Tank class" with a shield, who just uses his pistol, and doesn't use his main gun, but still takes an unloaded gun with him. Even for melee attacks, it's better to use the Taser, which has a stunning on-hit effect.
Really need this feature.
Anyway, no more struggling. Just press one button and draw your Taser. Simple.
FEATURES
- Taser is assigned to Tab. (Press "Tab" and the script will automatically press "2" and "Scroll Up". Yes, this is how it works.)
- The script activates only when the ReadyOrNot window is active, If the game is closed or minimized, your keys will function as usual. (Tab will not be recognized by the game, now it's "2+Scroll Up" key, and you can unbind Tab from any actions in game settings. Also when game is active, Alt+Tab combination will not work, to minimize your game use Windows key.)
INSTALLATION GUIDE
- Install AutoHotkey v2.0.19, from the official website: https://www.autohotkey.com/.
- Download my .ahk script file and place it wherever you want.
- Double-click on downloaded .ahk script to run it. (The script will appear in the taskbar tray.)
- In the game settings, set Item Selection Style to Wheel.
- Press Tab in-game to instantly pull out the Taser.
HOW TO CHANGE KEYBINDINGS
- Right-click on AutoHotkey tray icon, and select "Open".
- In the top menu, choose "View" -> "Key History and Script Info".
- Press the key you want, then press F5 to refresh the list.
- Replace the key bindings in the script, prefixing them with "SC"
P.S.
- You can actually assign a hotkey for the Taser in the game options without this mod. To make it work, remove all tactical devices from your loadout, add the Taser first, and then add other devices. Once that's done, simply remap "Equip Tactical Device" (default is "4") to your preferred key. However, I’ve noticed that sometimes I accidentally double-click the key, and it switches to the next device, so it’s not the most reliable method. Better to use my script :P
