need a bind? if it exists "ET"


(carnage) #1

i want a bind that will do something when i kill a player
say a string of text to be exact but i can handle the text bit

i would also like it to say a string when i kill a player in particular

finaly, is there a bind for when you kill a teammate? so you can make it say sorry automaticaly


(Kendle) #2

Nothing like that is possible because there’s no event handling in ET. Binds / scripts etc. respond to key presses, nothing else.


(Ragnar_40k) #3

How about trying not to kill teammates?
(And if this bind would exist, what is with tk-revives?)

is there any evemn handeling in rtcw binds


(Ifurita) #5

not automatically

You can bind telltarget and tellkiller (I think, can’t remember this one)


(Kendle) #6

Not sure if telltarget works. It didn’t in ETMain (1st version). Maybe it’s been added since (or by ETPro), either way you still need to press a key to make anything happen.

(actually, that’s not strictly true, ETPro provides a number of autoexec scripts that get executed at certain pre-defined times, but they’re not true “events” that happen during normal gameplay that you can attach binds to)

it would be possible with an external program no? i dont know about only telling one person in particular but if that pm thing works then yeh probably?

would be rather shit though. a scripted automatic “sorry” is worse than saying nothing, i’d be tempted to file each time just for the blatant rudeness if the “apology”, saying sorry is nothing, its the thought and the (however minor) deliberate effort of pressing keys to apologise.
automatic taunts for killing players will quickly get you muted if used on publics.

Dear (dave) god, please NO. We don’t need external “OMG YUO GOT PWNEED!!!111111111” programs. “rather shit” is an understatement. Absolute essence of crap maybe…

Look, a dancing banana! :banana:

reyal that is already out ;X


(carnage) #10

i think it may be posible with an external program, if you could analysed the text in the server console then you cou;ld have a program that if it recognised a string say “thor was killed by carnage” or “thor was vaporised by carnage panzer” then it put input into the console and printed the pre writne text

i think that may be posible server side but i dont know about client side


(Fusen) #11

hmm k I’ll say it again, there is already a program out which does this. check out enemy-territory.com news about 2 weeks ago for it


(carnage) #12

thankx fues look like i missed you post, would the is work for rtcw as well cos that would be a big pluss


(Fusen) #13

only if you changed the name of the console window that the program looks for currently looks foir the hiddne window “ET Console” which is always open when you play ET rtcw most likely used “RTCW Console” so it wouldnt be hard
