bind question regarding costume change

Does the single line bind work for multiple costume changes. Like changing from 1 to 2 to 3, etc, all in the same line?

Or will I need to use the .txt file loading option described on paragonwiki?

Thanks for your help.

You will need to use a rotating bind (the text file loading system you referred to).

A single line bind will attempt to execute every command in the line - there is no way to build in a pause. This, combined with the time limit on costume changes, means that only the first change will execute and then the rest will fail.

It's actually impossible with any system to move through multiple costumes in quick succession because of the time limit. You could possibly do a work-around of this using SG mode, but two of the "different" costumes would have to be identical except for colors and chest symbols.

what do is I have a separate bind for each costume slot, mind you that takes 5 keys but still it might be the easiest way to go.

how i do it is

CTRL+A "CCe 0 cclightning"

what this one is is switch to slot 0 (the default one) using the Lightning Costume change emote you can do is copy/paste this into your Keybinds.txt file throught notepad.

I just tested this and a string of 2 costume change commands (both cc and cce) will switch you between the 2 costumes since trying to change into the costume you are already in wont trip the timer.
