Here is a neat communcation system I have adapted for my own use. The original code, IMO, was difficult to read (as a template) and used too many function keys. My binding philosphy is to have everything within reach of my left hand while playing TF -- so this one is better suited for that.
In short, this script turns f1 to f4 into team messages. Press once for message topic, press again for specific message. 16 combinations are allowed in a 4 by 4 setting. The messages (and number of) can be easily adapted to suit any need. The messages are really tentative -- no doubt that I will perfect it as I use it. I just wanted everyone else to see this system as soon as possible.
Do not add this code to your autoexec.cfg -- it may overload it. Instead, execute it from within TF or execute it from within an existing script.

You can look at it below... if you have any questions, just ask. If you try it, you'll understand how and why it works.
// Jarv's TF Comm Macros
// Based on idea from:
// Chris "Slim" Bloxom <cbloxom@leo.infi.net>
- Communications menus
//
// Notes:
// You may have to add the -zone
512
// parameter to quake startup if
this cfg file
// makes quake/tf crash!
//
// +Simplified menu system (template)
// +Added repeat last message
//
// F6 = Displays Main Menu or Abort
current setup
// F5 = Repeasts last message
// F1 - F4 Changes function based
on usage... w/help menus
//
// If you really want to shorten
things, remove the "last" (f5) ability
