Tip: binding autothaw key/toggle

[Bamm]

Hey guys,

I had some issues with my settings lately and lost one of my most used binds. Which is a bind for /+activate, that some people put in the console each time. It basically defrost automatically when you look at someone without you having to press F/your use key and you won't accidentally pick up a weapon while defrosting. However, you have to put that in the console each time you go into game. Also, if you turn that on, you can't pick up weapons, or open doors. To do that you have to deactivate again. This tip is on binding that to one key, so you can press that to activate the autodefrost and you can press the same button to deactivate it (and open doors or pick up weapons). 

I first had those bound to two separate keys, but Cheyenne pointed me to the fact that it is possible on one. Then I used the suggestion of Boomboom use AI. AI used an old XI post where LOCO came up with a great answer seemingly based on another player too -> 

If you use his suggestion there, you will only have to press J twice at the start of your game to defrost automatically. And press J again to stop that. He also makes sure you don't have to write multiple lines in the console while in game.

AI made an extra suggestion, and by using this code instead you will also get a message in the logs when you turn your autodefrost on and when you turn it off. That would be this code (using = as key to turn it on or off):

bind F "+activate"
set thaw_on "+activate;set thaw_toggle vstr thaw_off;^2AUTOTHAW:ON"
set thaw_off "-activate;set thaw_toggle vstr thaw_on;^1AUTOTHAW:OFF"
set thaw_toggle "vstr thaw_on"
bind = "vstr thaw_toggle"

If you want to put the commands in the console in game, you will have to put each line/command one at a time.
