how can i check in a script for what weapon i have picked up?
say i want to bind my shotgun alias to mouse2 UNLESS i have Lg, would i just use "IF=weapon8 alias" or something?

If I understand you correctly, an if statement is not necessary and you would need something as simple as this:

alias +lgsg "impulse 8 2; +attack"
alias -lgsg "-attack"

bind mouse2 +lgsg

hm, no i want to only execute that IF i actually have Weapon 8 picked up. if i dont have it then i want to bind a totally different alias to the same key, mouse2 in that example.

i have two aliases and need a third one that switches the binding for the different commands.
i want to use blAze's sg switch toggle

Your OP suggests that you want mouse2 to fire SG unless you have LG, in which case it should fire LG. Well, the script above will do that for you - you don't need complicated if statements to do this.

This revised version will switch weapon back to shotgun after firing:

alias +lgsg "impulse 8 2; +attack"
alias -lgsg "-attack; impulse 2"

bind mouse2 +lgsg

first part is true, the last part not. i want specific weapon setups for different cases, ie. if i have lg or not.
thanks though.

Not sure what you want...

Pickup triggers and $weapons macro are blocked by ruleset smackdown. You can use f_weaponchange and $weapon to check wielded weapon.

But maybe this is what you mean:

thanks Kalma

edit:
not sure i explained it properly. thanks for figuring it out, it's actually exactly what i want.

edit:
ok now i'm wondering if there is a way to use IF and $weapon somehow and make it shorter.
