LE1 Crouch Hold instead of Toggle (AutoHotKey script )

DESCRIPTION:

This mod change Crouch into Hold instead of Toggle. Toggle is still possible but only with specific key combination.

This is only for Mass Effect 1 Legendary Edition.

To toggle crouch:

-start holding Sprint button and then click Crouch button (and release both keys ). Clicking the same way again (holding Sprint button and then clicking Crouch button ) it will make return to standing position.

This may not work for all keys configurations (for example it will not work if Space is bind as Sprint ).

Crouch hold can be used with one chosen key from below:

-LeftControl

-MouseButton4  (this is button what typically performs the same function as “Browser back” )

-MouseButton5  (this is button what typically performs the same function as “Browser forward” )

-RightControl

-RightShift

Things to avoid to not be locked in crouch mode:

-don’t open containers etc. when crouching

-don’t use crouch when sprinting

-don’t use crouch directly after stopping sprint (just wait split second for safety )

If you get stuck in crouch mode then just start holding Sprint button and then click Crouch button (or alternatively reload game ) as it will revert to standing position.
