I think i stopped using auto heal because it's much easier to stop healing a spy without it. (I'm the type of medic that would rather keep building and let the pocket take care of it than risk a lucky stab)

I use the in-game autoheal.

I've never really noticed difficulty with clicking on people unless you've got oodles of people standing in side of each other's hit boxes - but i imagine you'd have such difficulties regardless of what method you're using to heal.

While it's true that breaking the beam does delay your build rate, as long as you're not trying to heal everybody constantly your build rate isn't going to be effected in a way which could actually affect you in game terms unless you've made a dreadful positional mistake.

I use to just hold m1 to heal people but I got tired of that so started using a autoheal script. I like it either way. It just comes down to preference.

I had issues in the past with switching between players (especially during mid uber) with the auto-heal, so I switched to hold and never really looked back. I also believe bonobo uses hold mouse1, too.

It is really up to preference. I use an autoheal script, because I tend to get a deathgrip on the mouse, and holding that for 30 minutes is painful. I don't use the in-game autoheal because it loses a small amount of uber I believe, and doesn't automatically start healing whoever is in your view. It is mostly preference though.

When I hold my left mouse button I feel like I'm holding onto my teammates. I find that uber flashing is more precise when you only hold the flash on someone for the minimal period of time necessary before following up on a new target with M1 hold.

M1 4 lyfe.

bind "1" "syringegun" // Use to select Syringe Gun (and disable AutoMedigun)
bind "2" "medigun" // Use to select medigun, then tap mouse1 to select new target
bind "3" "bonesaw" // Use to select Bonesaw (and disable AutoMedigun)

i think this works

I've been using the setting that makes it so you only have to click once, but stuck this script in here and it works wonderfully (I changed "use tf_weapon_syringegun_medic" to "slot1" so that it works with the crossbow too). It takes almost no getting used to.

iama noob, where do you put these scripts?

optimizeiama noob, where do you put these scripts?

they should be in your /tf/custom/userstuff/cfg/medic.cfg. In your other class' .cfg files, you are going to need to put

-attack

bind 1 slot1

bind 2 slot2

bind 3 slot3

bind mouse1 +attack

bind mouse2 +attack2

to make sure this doesn't carry over.

edit: you are going to need to create the /userstuff/cfg folders yourself. Also make sure any .cfg files you create are .cfg, not "name.cfg.txt."
