/set(s or u or a)... what?

(IPvD) #1

I’m sorry if this has already been covered, but I was not able to find anything with the search function.

What is the difference between the commands seta/sets/setu/set ?

afaik “seta” writes the command/cvar/bind into the config and it stays there until overwitten, even with ET closed and starting up again, etc.
“set” does the above only for the current session, so if you type “seta cg_drawgun 0” into the console [ingame] and after that “set cg_drawgun 1”, the weapon is drawn during the current session, but after the next start of ET, the weapon wont be drawn.
could be horribly wrong… try it :]

never heard of “sets” and “setu”, but it’s listed when doing \cmdlist. :moo:

In ET, there’s no difference between them (though never heard of “setu”). There was in RTCW, but “seta” is broken in ET. Use “set” or “seta” or neither, they all do the same thing.

I’m just guessing, but maybe setu is set unsafe?

“sets” is for servers, its for putting things in server info (usually e.g. sets “.email” "admin@host.com")
