Console Commands

Disciple

<div class="IPBDescription">variables?</div> Hello everyone!
I was wondering, however it is possible to find out through the console which team I'm in or not. The reason of my questioning is not one I wish to share with you at this point, thou.

If there is not, I wonder how to make variables, for instance I can have a button setting a variable to "1" or "2" depending on which team I'm joining.

(i.e. bind b "varname 1; jointeamone")

Thanks your time // Disc

PS. dont answer "why would you want that for?", please.

you mean without looking at the scoreboard, without looking at which team you're spectating at, and without looking at your player hud? Because in a game like NS it's quite obvious which team you're in.

All I know is that it's possible to know through HLSW if you have rcon, so I'd think you'd need some sort of admin privilege... Though I'm probably wrong alltogether on this last one.

I have an idea of what you may want but with out further explanition what your asking I dont know. But my idea is make it so that when you join thought F1 it can exec a file like marine.cfg and have all the settings you want for marines loaded. But I could be wrong becouse lack of information as to what your trying to do.

There's a way to do this via the commandmenu.
Check this thread: <a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=59449' target='_blank'>Commandmenu: Executing commands according to your current team</a>

Other than that, there's no way to evaluate cvars within scripts.

Mintman

You cannot create variables or evaluate the values of variables that already exist within scripts.

I think he wants to have something that shows him whether he is alien or marine for whatever reason. I suppose its for some sort of plugin.

Thanks a lot guys! The TEAM1 and TEAM2 thingies were exactly what I was looking for!

You're welcome.

Half life script's cannot do "if", only "do". Example: You can not do a script such as "if ammo in weapon = 0, reload", you can only do "shoot shoot shoot shoot shoot shoot shoot shoot shoot reload shoot shoot shoot shoot shoot shoot shoot"

That is simply the geekiest way to put it.

And I laughed. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo-->

but its true

Novis

Hm, is this realy true in a general (or programming) context ?
Aliases,for example, allow for a certain degree of conditional constructs.
i.e., I can do something like 'IF player moved to the left THEN jump ELSE IF player moved to the right THEN duck' <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Those are SORT of conditional statements... However it is all based on an event occuring. You can't evaluate how many bullets are left in the gun, what team you're on, etc... No boolean operators either.

That's still not a true "if" statement, that's more "move right and duck" or "move left and jump".

That's absolutely true, this only works on user activated events, not for conditions that are set by the game (maybe except for the commandmenu workaround, where the game 'prepares' the team1/team2 conditional execution...).
It still allows for some useful scripting (and I'm not talking about exploits here - remember the jerky map-scrolling in commander mode, for an example ? This can be solved with some tricky alias scripting)

It's more than simply doing commands in sequence - "move right and duck" is not the same as "duck if moved right before", as you can duck or jump <i>depending</i> on your previous move.

what DO you wnat this for

Let me rephrase this in a nice way:
1. while it <i>is</i> possible to create custom variables in scripts (i.e.
2. setting variables this way is somewhat irrelevant for scripting, as they can only be accessed by mods/plugins and not by scripts.

Furthermore, I could wish there were more class/team specific commandmenu-keywords (like team1/team2, as mentioned before) adapted to ns: There are still a lot of leftovers from TFC available, they just don't make any sense in ns, like "soldier","medic", "sniper" (interestingly, all classes go as "sniper" <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo--> )
