costume emote keybinds

I have been trying to set my costume emotes, so they activate when i hit the key I set for costume change, how do I do this, I have gotten 3 different suggestions while in the game, and none of them work, the only time my emeote activates is if i go into the menu, and change my costume there. Any help would be appreciated...thx!

First off, which key are you wanting to use?


Earlier when I made my videos, I used "numpad1" (1 on the number pad) as my key of choice, and switch to the second costume (the slots are counted off of 0, so the second costume would be '1'), so I'll use that... You'd write: /bind numpad1 cce 1 CCBackflip

"/" tells the game you're doing a command
"bind" tells the game which command
"numpad1" is the key
"cce" is the command part of the bind
"1" is which costume to use (remember, it starts at 0 and not 1)
"CCBackflip" is the costume change emote to use, see wiki for the others.

We've been saving Paragon City for eight and a half years. It's time to do it one more time.

'K' is what i was gonna use, but I like your numpad idea better. thx for the info, I was going nuts trying to figure it out, if I had any hair, I would have pulled it out by now lol

is there a way I can save just the binds I made for costume change and apply it to other toons without wiping out all my other binds on each toon? ie; I use "k" for costume change slot 1 and emote. and "L" for slot 2 ect.. how can I save just those?

You could use /bindsavefile FILENAME, then go in with notepad and delete all the binds but the ones you want to keep (in this case, the K and L ones), then save the file, then use /bindloadfile FILENAME on another character.
