After talking things over with Hambone, I convinced both he and Flay to get rid of the _special command in NS. For those of you who dont know, the _special command is used to write repeating/looping scripts with 1-3 functions. Currently, the _special command is only being used for bunnyhop scripts, and pistol scripts in 2.0, which are both tested and work (no I will not post the scripts so that you may "try them") This command is one of the main reasons bunnyhopping skill has increased so drastically in NS over the past few months. For those of you who do know about it, and or dont, it is being removed in the next patch. This will remove the extreemely unbalanced bunnyhop scripts, and 2.0 pistol scripts out of NS. The only reason I am posting is just to let you all know, and to give those of you using these scripts a chance to start learning how to bhop <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> .

If you need a script to strafe jump......

But... we all know this ^^
Hehe...lol <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
And Lucid is right, this won't solve anything. I have, like many people, +attack bound to mwheelup and mwheeldown, takes nothing to fire off a whole clip (although they did do some changes to that in 2.1, so pistols are slower). Its no secret.

Yep...the only thing that will be affected is MAYBE pistol ROF in the first week or so of 2.1 release. then people will get wise and change their cfgs and such. emptying a pistol clip as fast as possible isnt hard.
Yea, but not all scripts are evil. Some of them are useful to make things easier like a command menu with easy useful commands. Especially if you play steam ns 2.0. X.x
I agree with every point made is this post.
kekeke I don't have that problem.
Lol, they needed this to use a bhoping script?
Pathetic, all you need is a jump script.
It will kill a lot of pistol scripts, but again, big deal. I encourage Flay to continue this, because those who practice hardcore with the pistol should have an advantage over those who don't.
However, even if you remove the _special command you will still have pistol scripts, they just won't be very good.

First I've heard of "_special". Are bunnyhopping and pistol scripts the limit of what this can do? It sounds useful as a scripting tool. Anywhere I can find info on it?
And before silly buggers swarm me with "oMg! he is goin to maek a bohp skpri!": why would I want to write a script for something knowing full well that it's going to be disabled? <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
And _special is banned in high level leagues eg ozfl TFC etc, so obviously its a bit more then just a simple "scripting tool"; there must be more too it then just faster pistols and faster bhop.
Same here, but I did a search on google since apparently noone else knows how to do them <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

As many people are too lazy to search I expect you are also too lazy to click a link so here is a quote

_special scripting allows you to create an infinite loop that performs a command every "tick" the engine moves through. only one can be used at once however.<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
