Never pickup that unwanted ammo pack or documents again!

Have you ever had 96 in your Mp40 reserve and got annoyed when you picked up an ammo pack that your teammate needed?
I say never again!!!

This EVEN works if you don't want to pick up the documents!

I use this bind all the time as an LT when I don't want to pick up the packs that I'm dropping as I'm running forward, running though doorways, and so on.

// Autoactivate

bind x "vstr autoact"
set autoact_off "set autoact vstr autoact_on; cg_autoactivate 1; echo ^2AutoActivate^7: ^3ON"
set autoact_on "set autoact vstr autoact_off; cg_autoactivate 0; echo ^1AutoActivate^7: ^3OFF"
set autoact "vstr autoact_off"


Change the "x" to whatever key you like.
With the echo command added to the bind you will be informed in the top left hand part of the screen, where the kills are listed, when you have toggled it on or off.
What does autoactivate do when it is ON?

Autoactivate is the command that allows you to pick up items as you run over them. This means ammo packs, health packs, documents, binoculars, and guns.

When autoactivate is turned OFF:
You will NOT pick up ANYTHING when you touch it. NOTHING. I'll turn it off most of the time when I'm an LT, and I'll just look at my packs and press F, or whatever your +activate bind is, to grab it.

If you bind this to a convenient key it's very easy to toggle back and forth when you are about to barrel up side stair and don't wanna grab the 27 ammo packs Blackhawk piled on top of each other.

This is a beautiful secret gem of a command, and I didn't figure it out until about a year ago. It's got a great amount of utility if you're trying to efficiently lay down some serious ammo packajjj

pretty sure this works with knives too, if you have auto activate off and someone throws knives at you, it won't hurt u it will just pass through you. i don't use this command because i am an ammo hog and take all the ammo i can get because i use it all mwaha :hunter:
