Config execution through scripting?

[Pedsdude]

Is it possible to have it so that when someone activates a trigger, a config (included in the .pk3 file) executes? If not is anything similar possible?

[Drofder2004]

Its possible but it wont work how you want it to

Any config that is executed through a script is server side and does not apply to clients...

[Pedsdude]

Ah... fair enough. Unless the person is playing it on their own computer?

What about doing it so that when they activate the trigger something like cg_hudalpha changes, or drawgun etc?

Again, those will affect the server CoD files not the players, unless the player is playing locally.

Not sure how it works with cheat protection, you can only try it

BTW, you dont need a script to change a cvar, just use

Code: Select all

self setCvar(("<cvar>"), "<var>");

where cvar is the cvar you change (cg_hudalpha) and var is the variable (0.1, etc)

[Pedsdude]

Code: Select all

self setCvar(("<cvar>"), "<var>");

where cvar is the cvar you change (cg_hudalpha) and var is the variable (0.1, etc)

So that won't work on a public server, only if the player is playing locally?

Code: Select all

self setCvar(("<cvar>"), "<var>");

"self" in in this case, is the player, who is running a certain script, on a given time.

eg

"Pedsdude" runs trough a trigger
then print a line

iprintlnbold("Pedsdude has run trough a trigger"); <-- this is a message to all

self iprintlnbold ("you just ran trough a trigger"); <-- this is a message to you alone

so you see, it doesnt mather if its played local, or public, the outcome is always the same.

So I could have:

Code: Select all

self setCvar(("cg_hudalpha"), "0"); 

And it would remove the person's HUD when they set off a trigger?

trial and error.

Make a map with nothing but a skybox and a trigger and then get someone on a test server with you, and only 1 person touch trigger.

Hmm, I'll try it out
