Script help

I've seen quite a few people on the Ville using this "script" and/or tactic, and I can't seem to track it down on the 'net. It works like this...

I frag someone. Their lifeless body falls to the ground and a grenade pops up right on top of them. I continue pushing forward, not seeing the 'nade, and it kills me.

The grenades don't seem to be primed as they take the usual wait time to explode, so it's not a priming script.

Anyone have any ideas where I can find a script like this?

If I haven't seen so many people using it, I would have just considered it "skill" and figured that it's all timing. But, I've seen it countless times and on a repeated basis.

Am I one of the people who you see doing this? Because I don't do anything with scripts. I just have a nade primed when I die, that is it. I was already priming it and get killed.

It happens when you kill someone just as they prime a grenade.

If it's just priming the grenade, I can see that, I guess. It's just that you see it happen so much and with the same people over and over that it seems unlikely that they could prime it just in time, every single time.

What's wrong with discussing this?

I know plenty of people use conc jump scripts and obviously priming scripts as well.

Personally, I only use binds for things like building mgs in Neo, etc. But, there's plenty of people running scripts on these servers all the time. Is it considered cheating at the Ville?

It's pretty much standard procedure to drop a nade when you know death is tapping you on the back (or blowing holes in it).

Always save at least one nade for when you're about to die

I call it leaving a present #Beer

I doubt that you'll be able to find a script for that. The computer isn't smart enough to know "Hey, he's going to die, prime nade NOW". If you were a 1337 programmer then you could probably tell it to prime one once you rech a certain health. But that wouldn't work too well, and the commands halflife offers you for scripts probably wouldn't be of any use.

Like everyone else said, most people just prime a nade before they die, hoping that you'll run across it.

Yeah, I know I make it my personal goal to leave a little "Death Nade" every time I die

. It usually works too, which is why I sit and wait for them to walk into it before I respawn, so I can laugh and giggle to myself!!!! I don't know how a script s done, I just seem to die lots of times while priming a nade, or I have just enough time to hit the button before I die.

If anyone has a conc-script that effectively works on a pub server, I'd like to shake their hand and congradulate them on being the best programmer ever. Not only does it adjust to ping, it reads the mind of the player so it automatically knows what kind of conc he wants to do. I'm not exactly sure what you mean by a prime script though.

On topic though, people spam their grenade key before they die. Dying with grenades left is a shame.

Yep Conc scripts do not work like Veil sad. They have to be tweaked for the ping etc etc and in most cases what they are made to do does not work.

As for a G prime I dont know of one or what you are refering too. Just remember when someone dies never nerver walk over them espec if they are a Eng. 90% chance they have left a gift and if a Eng good luck on living.

Just get in the habit of pushing the gernade key when your in trouble. Bind it to a key that you can push while continuing to fight.
Also its not so much that they leave it for you as they die. its more like they ran out of health and died just as they were priming and getting ready to give it to you! when they die it just drops. Just like a flag when you die running back.

I think there should be a stats penalty for people who die without using every last one of their precious grenades! -500 points per grenade that went unused!

Nah, it's not a script, it's just that we all know how often you get frags with the last second grenade drops... I know that when I'm in the middle of a fight (especially in nice tight hallways) and I'm about to die, I start pounding on my grenade keys, might as well spam with your last gasp of life than to die quietly!

Priming grenades is quite easy.

Are you having grenades go off in your face all the time? Like a solly is shooting you and he throws a nade into your face?

That's just basic nade priming. Holding down your grenade button until aboot the last beep. As for them coming out when people die, that's just death spam! I do it all the time and it's no script.

I may die but you are coming wif meh!

Just because you see somthing cool, don't go try and script it man. Try and learn it first.
