Let me explain what is happening. You hit the "~" key to pull up the console right? Well when I close it and go pack to the game I execute the alias code line: alias -enemyhear "say_team I can hear an enemy"

So this means everytime I go to the console people see me say "(TEAM) x5: I can hear an enemy" which gets really annoying and kind of defeats the purpose of that line.

Here is my full custom config file which is executed from config.cfg

When you close the console, the game emulates a key-release for all keys. This will cause all -aliases to execute.

Also, search is your friend.

I do lastinv when I close my console. Gives away my position as marine as I change weapon >_<

Keyboard is set to U.K. standard so it shouldn't be getting confused with the U.S. equivalent button (@ on a UK keyboard?)

A partial solution:

CODE

// if this doesn't work, you might need to alias each of these binds/unbinds
alias rebind_ "bind PGDN +enemyhear;bind PGUP +enemysee;bind END +enemykilled"
alias unbind_ "unbind PGDN;unbind PGUP;unbind END"

alias console_ "toggleconsole;unbind_"
bind joy1 +rebind // I use joy1 because it's never going to be used for any other purpose
alias +rebind
alias -rebind rebind_ // this executes on resuming the game
bind "`" "console_"
bind "~" "console_"

unbind_ executes when you hit the console key and unbinds the appropriate keys;
rebind_ executes on resuming the game (as joy1 is unpressed) and binds them again

This will prevent the execution of the -commands on resuming the game if you used the console key to escape, but not if you hit esc or minimized directly from the game. (esc cannot be rebound so this method cannot be applied there.)

But if the on-unpress functionality is not needed (as is probably the case here), a better solution would be to simply remove it.

My old 3.1 +Ashowres can help you:

CODE

alias +Ashowres "alias -Ashowres Astopshowres; wait; +showres"
alias -Ashowres "wait"
alias Astopshowres "-showres; wait; alias -Ashowres wait"
