left 4 dead voice commands

In random on December 21, 2009 at 5:11 am

while searching the vast expanse of the internet in search of a list of voice commands for left 4 dead, i was disappointed by the lack of a complete list. so, i thought, why not just copy/paste them all and make my own? exactly.

to bind a vocalization to a key, (so that when you press the specified key, it activates the voice command, like how pressing ‘r’ will reload your weapon), enter the following code into your console, or add it to your autoexec.cfg:

bind “KEY” “Vocalize NAME OF VOICE COMMAND”

so, for example, entering

bind “q” “Vocalize PlayerDeath”

will have your character scream when you press the ‘q’ key.

to use two simultaneous actions (like laughing while reloading), use the following code:

bind “KEY” “+ACTION;Vocalize NAME OF VOICE COMMAND”

so, like i exampled above, to laugh while reloading ammo, use this code:

bind “r” “+reload;Vocalize PlayerLaugh”

jump to the commands.
