changerace name - searches for name and changes to that race if one is found. If multiple races containing name are found, a menu is shown with those races.

raceinfo name - searches for name and displays information about that race if one is found. If multiple races containing name are found, a menu is shown with those races. Nice these finally work like that GJ

 

Can this be done with !transfer cash command too? Because currently you aren't able to transfer cash with !transfer name amount if there are players like ani and sanity, without using the player id by typing status into console.

That is possible but unlikely. I can definitely do it with playerinfo because that already uses a custom menu and is in the same code base as the others, so it's a matter of filtering which items are displayed, but transfer is a standalone plugin that just uses the vanilla sourcemod name parsing and there's no such menu in place.

[xmen 983]

Well using the !transfer command and manually picking from the menu works so it's not critical, just thought it might be an easy fix..

[Ika 320]

Didn't know about a few of these, cool. Also don't forget !respawn_spawn/normal/off

[Face 1910]

People should use buy hotkeys to not AFK in a doorway every time an admin gives cash 5 seconds after the round starts.

 

For example I use:

bind . "say buy tome"
bind , "say buy wish"
bind KP_DEL "say buy book"
bind KP_END "buy vesthelm;buy vest"
bind KP_DOWNARROW "say buy chain"
bind KP_PGDN "say buy claw"
bind KP_HOME "say buy health"
bind KP_UPARROW "say buy jump"
bind KP_PGUP "say buy mask"

 

So periods = XP (keypad period being book), comma = wish, top row of numpad = health, jump, mask, bottom row of numpad being armor+helm, chain, claw.

I only have those bound because they are my most commonly used.

 

Also if I could put in 2 cents I would say reduce the amount of inputs before you get the "you are spamming the server" message.  I can generally issue 3 buy commands MAYBE a fourth with hotkeys before getting the spam command. Then you have to awkwardly try every 3-5 seconds to get your buy to go through. Is pretty annoying on a regular basis... 5 buy commands isn't spamming.

 

Also CSGO related but not necessarily wc3, these make life a lot easier:

bind f1 "buy m4a1;buy ak47;buy vesthelm"
bind f2 "buy smokegrenade;buy flashbang;buy flashbang;buy hegrenade"

 

A lot more can be done but everything else is pretty much preference.

I've lowered the chat flood protection since spamming isn't a huge problem on the war3 server anyways. You should be able to use say commands much faster now. Let me know if it helps.

[BLiNDBoi 930]

Thorgot, can you take a look into the buy command specifically like buy book5 for example. That code for example needs to be fixed or changed.

 

 

 

Below is an example of a key bind that purchases 4 different items:

bind KP_ENTER "buy vest; buy vesthelm; buy defuser; say shop wish"

The key is the keypad enter and basically all this is doing is four different purchases that it will attempt to do. If one fails it will move onto the next one. For example, you are a Terrorist, so defuser is a useless item because you cannot purchase it. It will still attempt to purchase it  but it will fail and it will continue onwards to buy a crusader's wish from shopmenu. The syntax for how this works is simple, all buy commands HAVE to come before a say command. I have attempted it before and it does not work.

 

This bind can be shortened by removing  "buy vesthelm" however I keep that for the rounds when I survive and the only think I need is armor. The "buy vesthelm" bind doesn't quite work under that situation.

Will do. I noticed the post about this in the bug thread so this is on my list.

[thorgot 2420]

shop books5 and shop tomes5 still work. I can't see why tome5 and book5 aren't working any more, but at least you can still use the functionality using the plural.

So after learning about the sm_observe command I made a new hotkey and I kind of like it.

 

To preface, generally when I die I like to spectate the best player(s) in the server. I find it more entertaining.

A quick way to do this is to set up a hotkey to cycle through who you think are the most fun people to watch (for me it is kp_ins) and you just gotta tap it once when you are playing war3 and presto.

 

This is not mine, but this is an example of what I mean:

 

bind kp_ins "sm_observe godofbaiting;sm_observe vulcan; sm_observe spicy chicken"

 

It goes from the first one to the last one, and whoever the last player is in the list that is on the server, that is who you are set to observe.

e.g. if vulcan and godofbaiting were on, it would spectate vulcan. If all were on, it would spectate spicy chicken.

You can do this with as many players as you want without a spam limit affecting you (I believe). My hotkey is something like 10 or 12 players and I never have issues using it.

[Name 2616]

alternatively, i prefer watching the worst players on the server, as watching them flail around and die entertains me, so I just use "sm_observe face"

[Face 1910]

 I can't watch the worst player because Name rarely plays any more

[Face 1910]

command suggestion:

!tryhard

 

Pops up a menu with the following options:

Mute voicechat with 5 players or less alive

Mute voicechat in 1v1 situations

Mute voicechat when you are last alive

Never mute voicechat

 

Really only a quality of life thing, but it'll make people stop whining about voicechat from dead players.

[xmen 983]

or u know

bindtoggle key voice_enable

[Face 1910]

or u know

bindtoggle key voice_enable

I don't care about it. I just get tired about people complaining. Seems like I hear it every day. I agree they should voice toggle but idk seems like nobody ever does it.

[Face 1910]

added spendskillsmax (woops, musta forgot to add that in the past) and racetop10

When you know you're not getting on that sweet sweet staff list
