Scripts and stuff

Hey, I was wondering, some people can give the amount of health and armor they have left after a fight, how do you bind that to a key???? I also saw how a spy informs the team on what he disguised into using a binded key, how do you do that? In general, I am asking how do you bind keys to say something that will vary, like names of players?

Hope this is not too complicated.

Lets say you are mulching and want one of those nifty health / armor binds, here is what ya do:
bind x "say my health is %h and my armor is %a, nice fight %i"
just replace x with whatever key you want to bind. so when you hit x, it will look like this "my health is 100 and my armor is 200, nice fight Omega_Initiative".
I have a spy script like the one you are describing, I'm at work right now so I cant see how I have it set up, when I get home I will post it on here.

%l - replaced with your current location
%p - replaced with the location you're looking at
$c - replaced with your current class

Here is some stuff you can use on the Neo-Tf servers.

This is a question to the admins.

Are all scripts illegal at TV, or just some?

Check out tfc.pcgame (I don't have the exact URL, but do a search on that in Google and it will come right up) for lots of good console info.

Be aware, some scripts are considered cheating here. This came up once before and generated a heated discussion. I'm not an admin, but I believe Rob's decision was any script that allows you to do something that you could not do through normal keys and mouse moves, is illegal. Scripts that just automate things you can do yourself anyway seemed to be acceptable. (so no scripts that build sgs super fast or allow medics to infect from a distance...etc) Check the server rules for the final word.

Some folks really didn't like the advantage that any scripts provide, so I have removed all my scripts except rocket jump (couldn't stand to give that one up). I had that circle strafe script, but I got rid of it. It may not be illegal, but it seemed unfair to me. Besides, I never used it anyway

If you play on a Punkbuster server, the rocket jump script on tfc.pcgame will generate a violation warning. Email me and I can tell you how to edit it so it is punkbuster compliant.

-----------------------
what all this crap does
-----------------------

If you take all of these files and place them in you Sierra/tfc directory they should work. It does several things for you. If you hit "h" or "j" you will feign (with grunt) or sfeign (without grunt) respectively. Also, and this is most of the meat of the above script, you will be able to disguise and communicate your disguise to your team in a single keystroke. So, to toggle between the enemy and friendly disguises I would hit "enter" on the keypad. When you hit enter it should echo back if you have loaded enemy or friendly disguises. Once you have selected enemy for friendly disguise you can use the numbers 1-9 on the keypad to disguise as any class class. One thing to keep in mind is you need to set:
setinfo "ec" ="1"

in your config.cfg so that it automatically loads your class cfg when you choose spy, thus avoiding having to exec the cfg manually everytime you want to play spy.

-------------------

Please note that this is not cheating, you can do the exact same thing by using the gui menu that comes with the game, I just find it more organized this way, and it also helps to keep your team from shooting you in disguise because you tell them what you are disguising as.

Sorry if thats vague, let me know if you have any questions.

edit: is there a way you can use the backslash character on these forums, I cant seem to get it to show up so I replaced it with forward slash.

Did you try \ since the acts as an escape character.

I actually entered 4 backslashes and then 2 to get that printout. Each time you edit the post you loose a backslash.

Umm Stupid I think your feinging+drop ammo script is illegal here.

Isn't that the same as dropping a pack when you feign death?
