megalodon: Try this but I'm not sure if this is what you want.

alias +rl "+attack %1; impulse 7 3 2"
alias -rl "-attack %1"

alias +lg "+attack %1; impulse 8 3 2"
alias -lg "-attack %1"

Thanks, I already tried that in the past. I think you were the one who recommended it because you like to shaft the opponent after RL. And that worked indeed, but visa versa (LG to RL) the 'stuck' problem was still there. But I'll have to test it again to be sure.

I just don't understand why some people don't seem to have these issues and others do.

No, I checked - it was Unreal. Anyway, it works a bit better I think.
