how can I drop my orb?

[fireball]

I watched players who dropped their orb - (for not wasting it when taking an empty node for example)

How can I do that?

(or drop redeemer/shaped charge ?)

[demoniac]

Bind a key to the command "dropflag"

If you have the PS3 version, just feign death. Otherwise, go with demoniac's suggestion.

I always use feign death myself like the dramatic effect .

I have a PC. Under "settings" -> "input" -> "keys" is NO command "drop flag", so I cant bind a key to it.

If I use the bot-commands and choose "orders" -> "drop flag/orb" ( "v" -> "1" -> "6" ) : This works only for bots, NOT for myself.

COULD YOU PROVIDE ME WITH MORE INFORMATIONS?


-----------
The "feign death" does work, its a good starting (thank you). Its costs 2 seconds, so meanwhile its a good semi-solution.

There s a option for drop weapon but i don t know if it work for shaped charge.
for the deemer u ve just to switch weapon(i know it s not possible in ps3 bad luck for ps3 player ) and as say demo just type f10 and then write "dropflag"

Example:
Bindings=(Name="key",Command=" dropflag")

If it isn't the right post, then search the thread for "flag".

Jeez guys, I just normally feign death. Press 'F' and its done. Okay, so you have to get up again, but who cares!!!!

As in "Oh, the world is dead. Take my burden, thy wretch!"

No, it's not shakespeare. I just made it up.

I probably didn't get enough sleep last night...

I also used feign death, once.
But sometimes I died because of this move (an enemy came while I was standing up.)
Furthermore some "nice" teammates can steal your orb and waste it.
Example:
On WAR-Cold Harbor I went with the orb to the Hilltop Node.
I feigned death to activate the node without losing my orb.
My teammate just picked the orb and used it - genius!
So if you drop the orb by using dropflag, the chance will be smaller that such things happen.

Cheers!

Its all about time, man :-)
At least in warfare. And you're quite helpless lying on the floor...

Well, I will read the two links. BUT ...... bad is, that I have the STEAM application with UT3 in it. Thats nice, because you never have to update a game. But its ugly, because inside steam, its hard to find any game files, mostly you only see cryptic looking steam-CONTAINER-files .........

Okay, now I have to guess.
What about this folder:
X:\...\Steam\steamapps\your account.
Is there an Unreal Tournament 3 folder in it?
If yes, search for the UTInput.ini

Another thing:
Just use Windows' search function and see where the UTInput.ini is stored.

The encrypted Steam files (gcf - game cache files - as far as I remember) are the same as an installation dir.
What my "D:\Games\Unreal Tournament 3" is, are your gcf's.
Config files are seperately stored.
I'm sure you will find it if you try my both pieces of advice

Cheers!
