Costume change fly bind help

Okay, I am using this bind to switch into a costume using the lightning costume emote and then fly by pressing the "f" key:

/bind f "cce 2 CCLightning$$PowExecToggleOn Fly"

How can I make it turn fly off and switch back to costume 0 by pressing the "f" key a second time?

Much thanks for any help!!

You probably want to set up a rotating bind, two text files (let's call them FlyOn.txt and FlyOff.txt)

/bindloadfile FlyOn.txt

FlyOn.txt needs to contain the following:

bind f "cce 2 CCLightning$$powexectoggleon Fly$$bindloadfile FlyOff.txt"

FlyOff.txt needs to contain the following:

bind f "cc 0$$powexectoggleoff Fly$$bindloadfile FlyOn.txt"

I may have the format of bind files incorrect: check Paragonwiki to be sure.-

FlyOn.txt:

Code:
f "cce 2 cclightning$$powexectoggleon Fly$$bindloadfilesilent FlyOff.txt"
FlyOff.txt:
Code:
f "cce 0 cclightning$$powexectoggleoff Fly$$bindloadfilesilent FlyOn.txt"
(I used bindloadfilesilent here so that there's no spam in the chat window about loading your files.)

Place these text files in the /data/ folder of your City installation. Create a /data/ folder if it doesn't exist.

I've been using variants of the above mentioned bind files to switch between Fly and Hover with a single key for years. Works very well.

The only thing I would caution you about using Costume Change Emotes with these kinds of binds is the irksome 30 second costume change timer. If you are pretty sure you won't be switching between your flying costume and non-flying costume any more frequently than 30 seconds you'll be fine - otherwise you can easily get yourself out of sync with this. Also some of the Costume Change Emotes don't behave very well while flying so that's another thing to consider.

Good luck regardless.

Thanks, I really appreciate the help!!

If you'll indulge me further, how would one add a line of text to be spoken in team chat to that bind?

Add:

Code:
$$team Your text here.
On the end, inside the ".

Edit: I think

Code:
$$g Your text here.
Would work just as well.
