Crouch Stance - Toggle Crouch with Running

Description
Toggle crouching with two options!

This addon simply lets you toggle crouching. A somewhat similar example of this mechanic can be seen in games such as SOCOM II U.S. Navy SEALs.

Crouch Stance adds two console commands that let you crouch automatically with several movement preferences:
  • crouchstance
  • crouchstance_mode

The first command activates or deactivates crouch stance, the second command changes and displays your selected stance type.

  • Toggle: This simply toggles crouch at all times when possible. (Default)
  • Toggle + Run: This automatically deactivates crouching when you are inputting player movement whenever possible. Reactivates toggle crouch when not inputting movement. (Velocity caused by other factors will not force crouch deactivation.)
  • Toggle + Sprint Only: This automatically deactivates crouching when you are holding the sprint button (default: Shift key). Reactivates toggle crouch when not holding the sprint button.

It is suggested you bind these like in the examples below based on your preferences:

  • bind b automove
  • bind n automove_mode

Keybind Name Reference: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Bind

Tested in Sandbox singleplayer and multiplayer but should technically work on most standard gamemodes.

Why use this instead of toggle_duck/+duck?

Unlike toggle_duck, it allows you to alternate from remaining crouched to moving with all non-crouch related movement such as walking, running, and sprinting while having a visual indicator.

Note

Crouch Stance only activates based on player input, meaning my other addon Automove does not benefit from it at the moment.

Solution! Bind crouchstance to CTRL to replace default crouch, then also use prone mod, results are awesome and intuitive! I use toggle crouch only personally. I binded the automove_mode to period "."

automove gives me a unknown command it says in the console, and oddly after typing in crouchstance i seem to be stuck in crouch. Maybe binding CTRL to crouchstance would solve this? Trying to make sure it's compatible with prone mod too.

That was quick, thanks a lot! It works and CS is finally compatible with configs

Pushed out an update, crouchstance mode should now save for the client.

Great to hear it, thanks for the reply :steamthumbsup:

I'll be updating it soon to save the preferred mode.

Can you change crouchstance_mode to crouchstance mode 1/2/3 ? Preferred mode isn't being saved and having to click through to get the one I desire is quite daunting
