Variables!

[shaggy]

icould you please inform me about variables

e.g in the alias were you change from model to model over and over what would you do ?

this i s what i have entered
alias "+model" +playermodel models/player/nexus.zym ;
alias "-model" -playermodel models/player/marine.zym
bind , "model"

it starts to work the it gets stuck so would i type restart or something?


sorry all about this post

Don't.

Seriously - if a server admin allows you, he will tell you. If he doesn't, it can earn you a kick or even a ban.

I'm not as much familiar with console commands in nexuiz, but this is somehwat bad.

First of, if you make an alias with + - , it means:
+ : Make stuff when button is pressed and HELD DOWN
-: When button is released.

So if you make an alias:

Code: Select all

alias "+model" playermodel models/player/nexus.zym
alias "-model" playermodel models/player/marine.zym
bind , "+model"


it will only change your model when you press down and hold the button. Note, that you don't need a + or - before the actual command (+playermodel or -playermodel is not a valid command).
I think you wanna make a button that changes your playermodel when it's pressed, and when it's pressed again changes to another one. This can be done this way:

Code: Select all

alias "model_nexus" playermodel models/player/nexus.zym ; bind , "model_marine"
alias "model_marine" playermodel models/player/marine.zym ; bind , "model_nexus"
bind , "model_marine"


And no problem for your question, we're here to help you
And btw. this is only an example. Don't change your model from time to time. Confusing for those who play with you. But if you wanna make multiple chats, not only one (eg. 20 type of ":)" it can easily done by this way)

Actually, the bind would need the leading plus sign too - and it gets replaced by a minus sign when releasing the key.

thanks for that but it didnt work

and could i make that happen over and over without holding then leting go?

[C.Brutail]

As div0 pointed out, NO. Don't even think of that.

[divVerent]

and could i make that happen over and over without holding then leting go?

The only way to do that is by using this scheme...

alias p1 "do whatever you want; wait; wait; wait; wait; wait; wait; wait; wait; wait; wait; wait; wait; wait; wait; wait; wait; wait; wait; wait; wait; wait; wait; wait; wait; wait; p2"
alias p2 "do whatever you want; wait; wait; wait; wait; wait; wait; wait; wait; wait; wait; wait; wait; wait; wait; wait; wait; wait; wait; wait; wait; wait; wait; wait; wait; wait; p1"

However... if you run such a monster, you can't use the game any more as no input whatsoever will work - the game will hang in an endless loop and not even respond to the quit command!

There is no way to do timed events in the Nexuiz console, and scripts like you want are the reason why there is no advanced programmable console. The console is Turing complete, that is, you can calculate everything with it - but there are no timed events or server message events. And there won't.

So that leaves two ways to do such effects: zbqvsl gur ratvar naq chg gur pbqr sbe gung qverpgyl va vg - be nccebkvzngr jung lbh jnag ol pyrire hfr bs vachg ovaqvatf. You should now know all you need to do the latter. But if you try it on my servers and people complain, it will earn you a kickban.

You have been warned.

i guess what Shaggy means is the Peacebrothers color/model-changing patch.

please, only use this kind of things on PB servers only!

Its kinda funny.. when people have the freedom to do what they please to there are people that tend to misuse that freedom to annoy others. If you take away that freedom however all other complain. So what left is a way to ignore such things. Meaning in the long run it will be necessary to be able to ignore chat, ignore chat from certain people, force player models and colors on the others, as its impossible to ignore teamkiller its needed not only to kick punks but to kickban them, in team matches one would also need 'weapon stay' as some team mates are just annoying by collecting everything.. so in the even longer run people might learn its better to play chess as you can just punsh punks in the face because they sit next to you

Hmm i just hope noone really follows that logic.. but still its interesting..

[shaggy]

yea but that helps make the game intresting
