Binding keys in console

[Ghidrah1]

The console in HL1 looks completely different than the one in HL2. Earlier I tried to bind a key to toggle but it did not work. Are the bind and toggle comands different in HL1 or is it not possible?

good for u

bind "`" "toggleconsole"

Blyte,
What exactly will that do?

[Blyte]

it will make the console apear and disapear. when the game is running.

So what has been appearing when I press ~ isn't the console?

HL 1 does not have toggle like HL2, but you can use alias to get around this.

Thanks Live wire,
I don't suppose it would read ( bind alias mouse5 toggle_ duck)? If not, might you direct me to the proper use of the "alias" sequence to create a toggle duck? So far, I've made it through the training course and maybe 15 minutes of the game. I realize toggle duck may not be usefull for long jumps.
Please and thank you.
