Class Selection Scripts

[pgh]

Reading up on old posts and found this one:
http://www.splashdamage.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=872

Now as stated there one of them was /team B 0 8 which gave the player Team Allies (B), Soldier Class (0) and Thomson (8).

Does anyone have a list of all these syntax’s? Im presuming they’ll be in Marks configs as stated but obv its no use as theres no ET ere and im halfway through a new set of Newb/Clan Players Friendly Configs and the way I have scripted it out can be cut in half by the above method! Even if someone can paste the configs ere using the

 BBCode feature it would be appreciated..

echo "^2** ETMain Class Script Loaded **"

One thing to note: For all Classes that come with SMG (Field-Ops, Med, Engy with Thompson/MP40) the secondary weapon selected at Level4 is Akimbo Pistols. For all other Class, including Engineer + Rifle 'nade, the secondary weapon at Level4 is SMG (Thompson if Allied, MP40 if Axis).

Also, in ET you have to select Team before selecting Class, because certain weapons are only available to certain teams. ET uses a single command, team, to make all the team/class/weapon selections. It uses the following syntax:-

team [team] [playertype] [primary weapon] [secondary weapon (optional)]

Where:-

[team]
r = axis
b = allies

[playertype]
0 = soldier
1 = medic
2 = engineer
3 = field ops
4 = covert ops

[primary weapon]
3 = MP40
5 = Panzer
6 = Flamethrower
8 = Thompson
10 = Sten
23 = K43 (Engineer - Rifle 'nades)
24 = Garand (Engineer - Rifle 'nades)
25 = Garand (Covert Op)
31 = MG42
32 = K43 (Covert Op)
33 = FG42
35 = Mortar

[secondary weapon]
3 = MP40 for axis soldiers
8 = Thompson for allied soldiers
37 = akimbo colts
38 = akimbo lugars

Prior to Level4 selecting secondary weapon will just give you the standard pistol.

'Ell. Nice one m8 What you have above is superb… exactly what I am half way through starting, same keys and everything cause my F1-F4 are quick comm binds… shall give it a shot tbh and see if it’ll stop me using the current setup till I am done.

Thanks alot for the syntax’s too. Gonna finish what i’ve started and see if it betters any more than yours… which tbh, it’s going to do the exact same thing in a slightly different way… saviour man.

Uh, I don’t think anyone else can use a SMG as a secondary weapon except soldiers. CO’s can’t use the thompson/mp40 at all.

You could be right, I usually play on Stopwatch servers only, and never play Covert, so I’ve never actually tested it. Change the trailing 8 of the team command to 37 and 3 to 38 for all non-Soldier Classes in that case.

ETpro provides an easier way to class-scripting:

/class command allows easier scripting for class-change-scripts.
Syntax: /class classname primaryweapon#

classname can be one of s,m,e,f,c for Soldier, Medic, Engineer, Field Ops, Covert Ops
primaryweapon# is the weapon number as it appears in the limbo menu.

http://bani.anime.net/etpro/playerguide.html

This way you get rid of messing around with team selection during clan matches(stopwatch)

[pgh]

Thats what this IS for. Only it works in any ET version ive tried so far. Shrub, Main + Pro.

[Kendle]

I don’t use Bani’s class command for 3 reasons:-

1. It doesn’t support secondary weapon selection, so if I do mange to get to Level4 (maybe on Campaign pub servers) class doesn’t automatically give me akimbo pistols.

2. I have a set of map / team specific spawn point selection scripts, so I need to select Team anyway and have incorporated it into my Class selection script (that isn’t my “working” Class script above anyway, it’s the one I post on forums if anyone’s interested).

3. As class only works on ETPro servers, even though I rarely play on any others I am an Admin on an ETMain server and can’t be arsed to maintain 2 different scripts.

While we’re at it, I wrote a class selection script (well, a script to generate a class selection script :eek2:) several months ago… It covers every possibility, so it can be useful as a reference if you’re making your own, but beware–the script it generates is huge. (I had to cover every permutation of team, class, weapon, and secondary weapon without any variables–gah!)
The form to make the script is at [u]http://themuffin.net/ck/[/u], for anyone who’s interested.

I use Iffys class select script (owner of RTCW & ET 4 Newbies) and have done since the very early days of ET. I havent came accross one with as much functionality or ease of use as this one. It’s combined team select/class select/spawn select and also loads class specific cfg’s when you choose a class. It’s fully menu based through echos so you can’t go wrong at all really. It sounds a whistle noise if you go to change teams incase it’s by accident… and has a reset key to go back to the main menu incase you get lost.

You can get the class and spawn script here http://www.planetwolfenstein.com/4newbies/scriptexamples.htm#enemyterritory (its the one close to the centre of the screen ver 6, not the top one)

i use completely different i use keypad… (two hit combos) i can have 100 commands on those 10 buttons…

so 8+1 is medic
7+1 is eng
7+2 is eng with garand…

7+x= engs
8+x= med/fo/cov
9+x= soldier
5+x= spawnpoint

and so on…

[Kendle]

I’ve got total respect for Iffy and the great things he’s done for the community, but I don’t like those kind of scripts in general as the actual keys used are “hard-coded” into the script. If you wanted to use different keys (like I use function keys and always have done since the earliest days of RTCW) then you’d have to re-write almost every line of the script.

With mine (not saying it’s better of anything) you’d only have to edit the top 8 lines to change the binds. The mechanics of the script remain the same.

I also use class specific configs in my “working” version. Allied Medic for instance would be:-

set b_me “team b 1 8 37; exec medic.cfg; say_team ^9[^3Medic^9]”

medic.cfg being an additional script that contains various Med specific stuff, like I have a key bound to “say_team Medic on Way, Please DON’T tap out!”. This same key becomes “say_team Launching Arty/Air-Strike, Take Cover!” when I’m a Field-Op and “say_team Arming/Disarming Dynamite, Cover Me!” when Engy, and so on.

[Ifurita]

kendle, you are a noob!!

I agree w/ your point though and i stated writing template scripts w/ [key 1][key 2], etc so that people could just do a search and replce to remap key bindings.

my scripts are set up that way because i hate scrolling though options. Realistically though, once you learn the keys, both are just as fast

That’s what I have with my modified version of CowBoy’s scripte. Class specific weapon change and voice chat binds.

I managed to set the script to work on F keys 1 to 7 for a clanmate no probs at all. Find Replace is handy that way. Took no time at all.
