so to clarify...
if I add

alias slot_1 "slot1; r_drawviewmodel 0"
alias slot_2 "slot2; r_drawviewmodel 0"
alias slot_3 "slot3; r_drawviewmodel 1"

to each of the classes (appart from spy/engie where I would have to add the same for slot 4/5 I am guessing?) it would work?
I would have to sort it for each class/weapon of course and add the crosshairs in but it would work?

Yeah, don't forget the binds too . If you're going to play around with crosshairs you need to add them to all the alias lines otherwise you'll end up with the wrong crosshair for the wrong class/weapon if you change class.

As for the binds alias thing, thats just the way I have my configs set up, you don't have to use alias' I guess but I think it just tidies it up nicely.

[Dodgy]

I don't like using aliases unless it's absolutely necessary, I must have some mild form of OCD cause having redundant text in configs really annoys me for some reason. I've been using just binds for a while now and it seems to work fine.

This is my soldier config and it works as intended:

unbindall
exec binds.cfg
exec settings.cfg
bind "MOUSE3" "use tf_weapon_shovel; r_drawviewmodel 1"
bind "MWHEELUP" "use tf_weapon_rocketlauncher; r_drawviewmodel 1"
bind "MWHEELDOWN" "use tf_weapon_shotgun_soldier; r_drawviewmodel 0"

Not sure why you need to unbind everything and exec the general configs every time you go solly?

My solly config is like this:
//  _____________
// |   Soldier   |
//  ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
-attack
-attack2
_gun1

//  _____________
// |    BINDS    |
//  ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
bind      "mouse1"            "+attack"
bind      "mouse5"            "_ssg"
bind      "mouse4"            "_shovel"
bind      "q"                     "_rl"
bind      "downarrow"         "join_class soldier"

//  _____________
// |    ALIAS    |
//  ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
alias     "_rl"               "_xhair3sr;_gun1;slot1"
alias     "_ssg"              "_xhair3ss;_gun0;slot2"
alias     "_shovel"           "_xhair0;  _gun1;slot3"

alias     "_xhair0"           "cl_crosshair_scale 0"
alias     "_xhair3sr"         "cl_crosshair_scale 50;cl_crosshair_file crosshair3"
alias     "_xhair3ss"         "cl_crosshair_scale 30;cl_crosshair_file crosshair3"
alias     "_gun0"             "r_drawviewmodel 0"
alias     "_gun1"             "r_drawviewmodel 1;viewmodel_fov 80"

cl_crosshair_red 0
cl_crosshair_green 255
cl_crosshair_blue 0

Not sure why you need to unbind everything and exec the general configs every time you go solly?

I have those first 3 lines in all 9 of my class configs, so if I want to change a setting/bind for a single class I only have to edit the config of that class without putting a counter-bind/setting in the other 8 configs.

How do you guys know what weapon you have out with this hide viewmodel nonsense?

Can lead to very embarrassing spy moments.

[Hzza]

Thats why you have different crosshairs . Green dot for scattergun, + sign for pistol. Unless your playing scout or engie you'll only ever have 1 weapon hidden so it 's not a problem that comes up too much. And you should never hid melee weapons. Ever.

[Chaos]

I went with DodgyEmu's Idea... I just set my bind keys in a seperate config (opened the config.cfg in wordpad, helps a lot as it automatically puts new lines after each cvar) and used this-

Code:

unbindall
exec binds.cfg
exec settings.cfg

//viewmodel and crosshiars
bind "1" "slot1; r_drawviewmodel 0; cl_crosshair_red 0; cl_crosshair_green 255; cl_crosshair_blue 0; cl_crosshair_file crosshair3; cl_crosshair_scale 30"
bind "2" "slot2; r_drawviewmodel 0; cl_crosshair_red 0; cl_crosshair_green 255; cl_crosshair_blue 0; cl_crosshair_file crosshair5; cl_crosshair_scale 30"
bind "3" "slot3; r_drawviewmodel 1; cl_crosshair_red 0; cl_crosshair_green 255; cl_crosshair_blue 0; cl_crosshair_file crosshair6; cl_crosshair_scale 30"

There is more in each class for other things.. but this works
