Trigger Console Commands? Created 19 years ago2005-05-05 05:11:50 UTC by esmajor

Is there a way to set up a trigger to carry out console commands... say an impulse code or an mat code?

No.

You can bind console commands to keys though...

i thought there was an entity for console commands? i cant remember wat it's called (i have never used it so i'm only guessing that its what it does) if not then just use what anthony says by using the "bind" command in the console.

example: "bullet time"

bind key "bullettime" "key" being whatever key u want

theres more to setting bullet time because u have to set the timescale for when the key is pressed and the timescale to revert to when u let go of the key but thats not the issue here

Yeah I have a couple binded to my mouse buttons (not the mouse1 and 2, I have 2 other buttons)

in that case my info was worthless to u : sowwie

There is an entity for command-firing, Ant :|?

It's info_clientcommand, I believe. info_pointcommand? Something like that. I heard Rabid mention it awhile ago.

So for example for half-life 1, sorry, but this thread had been started, so needed just a quick answer..
It would be bind key "cvar" "B" ???

Damn seventh beat me to it

I don't think you use two sets of quote marks, Mr. B, as so:

bind kp_downarrow "sv_cheats 1"

Or, for example:

bind kp_downarrow "sv_cheats 1;noclip"

Which would execute those two consecutively. There's a "wait" command, too, which, suprise, waits for a moment before proceeding. The wait length is pretty short though, so you'll need several for anything useful.

thanks seventh. Thats all I needed to know.

There is such an entity that allows map triggers to fire console commands, on the client or server side.

It's point_clientcommand, or if you want to run something as a server var, point_servercommand. (Keep in mind cheat commands won't work if the server has sv_cheats defined as 0).

Seventh...

bind "m" "impulse 102"

YOu have to put the quotes I'm pretty sure. So far it works for me.

With console commands that have spaces, you have to, IIRC.

Yeah, you do, otherwise it ditches the last bit, but there are no key names with spaces, so the quotes are unnecessary there.

i noticed with point_clientcommand that its just an entity with no flags, and only a "name" value. I suppose it takes an input with a paremeter override being the command you want?

Oh. Excuse my incorrect information then.
