TF2 Mic Scripts

Ok, one thing that really annoys me about TF2 is that because the game is so loud, I sometimes end up yelling into my mic without realizing it, pissing off the other members of my family. I was wondering if someone could whip up a script that decreases the volume of the game to around 20-25% when the button "v" (my mic bind) is pressed in. This would involve a bindToggle, but I'm not sure on how to use those.

Any help would be great, thanks :)

I don't know how to do something like that but a friend of mine is making macros and scripts with AutoHotkey. I've only tried it out a bit but it got a really simple syntax and you can do a lot with it.
http://www.autohotkey.com/

Some of the things that he have done with it are:
Keyboard Layout Switcher - Bring your Dvorak layout with you anywhere.
Keylogger - You never know when you'll need it
Spammer - Sending 5000 messages in one second can be useful
Keypusher - Does send all the cheapest creeps in your favourite WC3 maul with one hotkey
Volume changer - Dont have a multimedia keyboard? This is your solution
Caps Killa - Makes the most useless key on the board into a shift key


And btw, why dont you simply turn down the game volume full time?

Here is a list of some of the functions in Autohotkey:

* Change the volume, mute, and other settings of any soundcard.
* Make any window transparent, always-on-top, or alter its shape.
* Use a joystick or keyboard as a mouse.
* Monitor your system. For example, close unwanted windows the moment they appear.
* Retrieve and change the clipboard's contents, including file names copied from an Explorer window.
* Disable or override Windows' own shortcut keys such as Win+E and Win+R.
* Alleviate RSI with substitutes for Alt-Tab (using keys, mouse wheel, or buttons).
* Customize the tray icon menu with your own icon, tooltip, menu items, and submenus.
* Display dialog boxes, tooltips, balloon tips, and popup menus to interact with the user.
* Perform scripted actions in response to system shutdown or logoff.
* Detect how long the user has been idle. For example, run CPU intensive tasks only when the user is away.
* Automate game actions by detecting images and pixel colors (this is intended for legitimate uses such as the alleviation of RSI).
* Read, write, and parse text files more easily than in other languages.
* Perform operation(s) upon a set of files that match a wildcard pattern.
* Work with the registry and INI files.
