The title says it all, this is a thread where you can ask me for a script that does something and I'll write it for you. I'll then make all the answers into some kind of combined tutorial/reference thing to give people real examples for them to mash about.

Well, I always wondered if it possible to make a real bhop script, witheout special :

The script should do the following:

-I keep jumping, as long as i hold my jump key. (resulting in perfect jumps)
-When i release my jump key it stops jumping.

So try to make a script that permanently spams the jump command, witheout using special.

I am really interested in the results.

Without _special, afaik that isn't possible.
The +jump command only jumps once if there is no -jump command after it. eg;

Scripts prevent you from executing any other command whilst they are running unless you are using a _special script. So you could have a script that jumped for you constantly, but you wouldn't be able to use your strafe keys, firing keys or anything else so you would have no other control. So in answer to your question, that isn't possible without you not being able to do anything else.

Also, scripts can only be of a predefined length so once it starts there is no way of making it stop. Putting it on a +/- script does not change this.

I would like a script that will turn on a pistol script when I go to my pistol. I only use my number keys to switch weapon(mwheel is for flashlight[up], and bhop[down]). <3 Thankee!

First of all you'll need a seperate marine and alien config, unless you want the same effect for parasite, healspray etc. If you need to know how to do this then look in a scripting tutorial or if you can't find out then ask me again in a seperate question.

A script that makes me a sandwhich.

Okay, I got 2 that I never managed to make work...

1- An all out attack for lerk, meaning, spores, umbra, primal, then switches to bite in one key

2- A backwards long jump without affecting aiming view (where you see)

I know there kinda evil scripts but, I'm sure I saw ppl with 2nd one, first one I don't know...

I was making a switch script for the auto pistol script here goes

in autoexec

alias pistswitch PWNon
alias PWNon "exec dpist.cfg; speak two"
alias PWNoff "exec npist.cfg; speak one"

dpist.cfg

alias +pistol "+attack; wait; -attack"
alias -pistol "+attack; wait; -attack"
alias normalfire "bind mouse1 +attack"
alias pistolfire "bind mouse1 +pistol"
bind "1" "slot1; normalfire"
bind "2" "slot2; pistolfire"
bind "3" "slot3; normalfire"
bind "4" "slot4; normalfire"

npist.cfg

bind "1" "slot1"
bind "2" "slot2"
bind "3" "slot3"
bind "4" "slot4"

But it doesnt work, really don't know why...altough, I fire faster no script!
Even the _special one is slower then my finger, real weird.

Oh, is there a command to spam a script every "x" seconds, with of course, a switch on and off?

Well most people can reach the max RoF of the pistol anyway, the pistol script just in theory gives you more control as you don't have to click as fast. So if you don't feel the script helps you at all just don't use it!

And God Killer, you never initialise either script or make a way of switching between the two. By your script you will always end up with the default binds. Also there is no way to create a script the triggers at a period X without losing the ability to use any other controls.

infinite loops are never a good thing

Not for the switching. For the firing, however, you will have to actually click the button slower than normal, to give the game time to register the shots, but it will fire faster.

What he said. The built in delay, with draw animations etc, covers the time needed for the script to run so you should notice no difference in the time switching weapons to firing.

And I assume ReK is talking about firing slower with the pistol script. I've never used one so I can't comment on that.

To elaborate, with hud_fastswitch 1, you will not notice any difference in the switch speed. That goes for 0 as well. When actually firing, however, you will need to click at a slower rate in order to give the game time to clear the sprites. You could just spaz out on the button, but that will just tire your finger for no reason. It is essentially like trying to fire a bolt-action rifle while you're drawing back the bolt, you can click the button, but nothing will happen.

Also, I'm not sure on this, but spaz-clicking enough when the sprites aren't clearing could cause glitches. I haven't seen it myself, but a few friends have said that they get something similar to if you don't put enough waits in a switching script...

Recursive?

Not sure, I've never left out the waits

I'm just repeating what they said.

if someone will make me script that eveyshot with my pistol it will to trun on my flashlight it'll be nice..
and sorry about my bad english.
thanks

Can someone give me an example of a harmless _special script? I've heard a lot about them, but never seen one.

Hello Minty

I know this wont be much of a challenge but i have gone a bit code blind and would appreciate this being done for me.
I would like key "f" to be used for when i fade to blink when it is held down and switch to swipe when i release.
I would like to bind "r" to be used for when im a skulk to leap when held and switch to bite when released.

can you also confirm how i place these in my autoexec.cfg to load every time i play.

Thanks for helping a code tard!

how to make a separed config for aliens and marines (prob a stupid question)

Go in your ns folder and create the configuration files (make sure they have a .cfg extension).

Then put this in your userconfig.cfg file in the ns folder (create if it doesn't exist).

Let's say I'm lerk. I'm on bite, and I use it the most. However, I want to have one button that lets me fire a spore and instantly switch back to bite. Another button would let me fire an umbra and instantly switch back to bite. Is that possible, and how?

What about with mp_bs 1?

I don't know if this has been answered before but I've been posting this set of scripts ever since I found out every time there's been an opportunity. Now I can spam them and tbh be totally within the limits of da law.

alias +s1 "slot1;wait;+attack;"
alias -s1 "-attack;"

alias +s2 "slot2;wait;+attack;
alias -s2 "-attack;wait;slot1"

alias +s3 "slot3;wait;+attack;
alias -s3 "-attack;wait;slot1"

alias +s4 "slot4;wait;+attack;
alias -s4 "-attack;wait;slot1"

Allows binding different buttons to switch to and use various weapon slots separate from mouse1.

The way it goes is, when you press the button, it switches as fast as the game allows to the weapon currently in whichever slot the script concerns, and uses it very much like holding mouse1 would go. +s2 would be pretty boring with the pistol. And I don't think it works with welders with mines or hand grenades. When you let up, it switches to slot1 as fast as the game allows. Due to the way switching weapon animations can be instant or delayed for the aliens, these scripts might seem pretty unimpressive most of the time. +s2 with the lerk will do exactly what you're asking, but it's not like you'll whip around a corner, and spore and bite in the same fifth of a second, because there's a weapon animation that plays between spore and bite, which kind of sucks a little I guess. This might mean that you could switch the script up and make it always switch back to slot2, turning +s1 into one built like the other three and reverse for +s2. I'm way too lazy and busy to mess with my cfg when I don't have time to play much of the actual game itself. Try it and let me know how it goes.

Anyway +s2/-s2 is your spore-bite combo button, blink-slash button, but it's horrible for trying to devour. It's not even close to instant. +s3/-s3 is your meta-slash button, leap-bite button, umbra-bite button, and stomp-gore button. +s4/-s4 is uhhh, I guess for xeno-biting assuming you have a full energy bar, maybe you can be a leetscript combat gorge with every upgrade web-spitting marines to death. I suppose you could write it to switch between acidrocket and metabolize, since at that point you're basically an alien siege cannon anyway and need to switch back and forth between those.

These scripts aren't really useful on bs 1 servers. What they will do is show you the cheery message that screams disconnect now, switch to the slot when the button is held down, but not actually use it. So you have to press the button and press mouse1 at close to the same time then let go of the button to get sort-of results. I don't know how to get great results on bs 1 servers. I assume at that point you just use lastinv and bind some buttons to various slots within easy reach with fastswitch on.

Also someone wanted an innocuous example of a special script. Here's one.

alias flashforever "-attack2; wait; impulse 100;wait;wait;impulse100;wait; +attack2;"
alias "+sflash" "alias _special flashforever; +attack2;"
alias "-sflash" "alias _special; -attack2;"

getting your flashlight to land in the off position is a real pain.

Can you make me the fasted speed script eva!

i dont like to script... but there is one that i've always wanted. ok, let's say you are reloading your gun and then a comes rushing at you! is there a script where u can hit your mouse1 and it will cancel the reload and +attack ?

in a jist... when reload, hit mouse1, cancel reload, +attack

hm, you can just change weapons with fastswitch and use the pistol when you where reloading if you used lmg or use lmg if you were reloading the pistol

Firstly, that would only work for the shotty and gl (if the bug is ever fixed), assuming you had put at least 1 shell/nade in already. And secondly, it's much better to just whip out your pistol.

alias cancel "slot3; wait; lastinv"
bind <key> cancel

thats a normal cancel reload script

unless you want something that will pull out your knife everythime before you fire you cant do what your asking for

alias +cancel "slot3; wait; lastinv; +attack"
alias -cancel "-attack"
bind mouse1 +cancel

that would be what your asking for however this would happen everytime you fire

Rek, I'm not sure about the shotgun, but I know for a fact that even if the grenade launcher animation plays putting a shell in the gun, unless you let the animation finish until you see the number of ammo hit 4, quickswitching back and forth to the grenade launcher will reset the reload completely.

The GL sucks. Oh yeah and I didn't notice that you said there was that bug with the gl already, nvm.

Unless you use another button to fire your gun, I don't think you'd be able to do this with mouse1. What I guess you could do is write a script that switches to ... okay I think I have an idea for this. Assuming you write this script and you're making a different cfg for marines and for aliens, as a marine, you'd use your reload button and mouse1 button as usual, but have a script that will switch to slot3 and then lastinv back to whatever gun you were reloading. With the LMG, I think you'd be able to interupt your reload pretty well doing this, and presumably just as well with the HMG. Not sure about the shotgun. Go try it out.



alias interupt "slot3;wait;lastinv"

I don't read very well some mornings. Yeah try the above scripts, they look solid. you'll have to bind them to a button you can press easily obviously. Depending on how many binds you have already that might be tricky.

The shotgun reloads one shell at a time, just like the gl is supposed to. If your shotty is reloading, just hit attack again and it will stop and fire with whatever number of shells were inside when you stopped. I've done it plenty a time to a skulk's face.

I need a script that says "ready to move" And says Need rt/PG When i press the z button.

And i need the fastes wagglewalk you can make.

Oh and i remember seeing a script that prevents the no pistol, no knife, in a start of the match. Can you dig me one of those?

This isnt really a script, more of a bind. I want to make it so when i right click as a fade, it metabolizes, and when i release it activates lastinv. Thanks.

I wouldn't mind it if it was just mouse2 switching to metab and activating it. Whatever you guys can do.

Too bad the script doesn't work, nt. Maybe just more waits for primal screem would make it work, but from what I can see, primal screem takes too long to start working even with lastinv so spores/umbra are almost gone when bite comes up. I'll just use this one, making a script without testing

alias +gas "slot3; wait; slot2; wait; +attack; wait; lastinv;wait;"
alias - gas "-attack; wait; slot1"

bind q "+gas"

I'll test.

Damn, even this doesn't work

alias +gas "slot3; w; slot2; w; w; w; +attack; w; w; w; lastinv; w;"
alias -gas "-attack; w; slot1"

w is wait

If I do the same manually, it works, but in script it doesn't yet. Does FPS play a role in how many waits?

It might just be simpler to pick a few buttons for the different attacks and use the usual fastweapon scripts on page 3. You press and release each button for each attack, and you probably get way more control in the process. I don't think anyone can write a script that combines two or three weapons on one button. It would probably be laggy and clunky.

Santa I would like:

An easy to use, great speed increasing, wiggle walk script.

A top level bhop script.

and a uber fast pistola scripto.

and a script that will make my friends not want me dead when they find out I'm using scripts.

Thanks

ok i come here with a couple problems that may be easily fixed.


i made a couple tiny scripts to help my skulk and lerk game.



first i made a leap script just because since i use q to lastinv, i couldnt leap then strafe hard left in the air because at somepoint i would have to let go of a and hit q to switch to bite, so if igured why not make a script that leaps then switches to bite for me, and i came up with this


alias +leap1 "slot3;wait;+attack"
alias -leap1 "-attack;wait;slot1"
bind "mouse2" "+leap1"


so, i put this in a config called alien.cfg which is what iuse for all my separate alien tweaks. problem is when i join a game and load up the config it doesnt work, i press mouse2 and nothing happens. i usually have to go into the consol and type bind mouse2 +leap1 then it will work.


my question is why.



thsi goes as well with my two lerk scripts. which are in a separate config as well.


alias +umbra "slot3;wait;+attack"
alias -umbra "-attack;wait;lastinv"
bind "mouse2" +umbra

alias +scream "slot4;wait;+attack"
alias -scream "-attack;wait;lastinv"

bind shift +scream






also, what i did when i made these configs (rine.cfg, alien.cfg and lerk and fade.cfg) is copied and pasted all the info from the last one, assuming that the config before it was executed would be completely cut off so you would need to have all the movment configs in there. could i just have a lerk.cfg with two scripts in them and still have everthing else bound. and lets say i did this and my previous config had mouse2 bound and the new config that was executed had a mouse2, would it auto overwrite when i executed it or would i ahve to put an unbind mouse2 before the bind mouse2 line in the new config?
