Day of Defeat: Source Scripting

Hi all, this guide helps you to understand how create and manage dod:s scripts.
For editing or create cfg files I recommend Notepad for example.
To use your own cfg files, you must put files in next location:
...\steam\steamapps\%youraccountname%\Day of Defeat Source\dod\cfg
%youraccountname% is your Steam login.

To save your config as a cfg file when you are saving file pick from file type dropdown All files (*.*), but when you are using this method you need to type

file name and extension. For exapmle myconfig.cfg

Then to execute cfg only you have to do is type in game console exec configname.cfg.

Let´s go.

Binding

Binding is assigning commands to keys.
Code:
bind "key" "command"

If you want assing more than one command use ;
Code:
bind "key" "command; command; command"

Example
Bind a key for jumping:
bind "key" "jump"

Bind a key for sprinting:
bind "key" "+jump"

Incrementvar

That command allows you cycle between specified values on chosen range.
Code:
bind "key" "incrementvar command 1 12 3"
(where 1 and 12 is range and 3 is jump between values).

Example: changeing sensitivy from 1 to 20 by 2.
bind "key" "incrementvar sensitivity 1 20 2"

Aliasing

Alias command allows you to shorten very long commands into one short alias. It could be difficult at the beginning.
Code:
alias nameofyourscript "firstalias"
alias firstalias "command; command; alias nameofyourscript secondalias"
alias secondalias "command; command; alias nameofyourscript thirdalias"
alias thirdalias "command; alias nameofyourscript firstalias" //last alias should point to first one

Example: Duck script. Second example will be a duck script that will allow you to duck without holding a key.
Code:

alias duck "duckON"
alias duckON "+duck; alias duck duckOFF"
alias duckOFF "-duck; alias duck duckON"
bind "key" "duck"

+ and - commands

lus and Minus commands are commands that have 2 states.
Plus part is executed when you press a key and it's execute until key is released. When key is released it goes into minus state.
Example:
Code:

bind "mouse1" "+attack"



You aren't limited to commands that developers created. You can create your own using alias command.
Code:

alias +minigun "+duck; +attack"
alias -minigun "-attack; -duck"
bind "key" "+minigun"

As you probably noticed, there is no need to bind minus command, it's executed automatically after you stop holding key that you bound it to.

Usefull commans:

"wait" Stop command parsing until next frame.(if you put a value ex: wait 30 it will wait 30 frames)
"exec" Executes user config
"bind" Binds command to key (bind "F1" "kill")
"unbind" Unbinds command (unbind "F1")

This is "configuration" not "scripting"
Scripting is something about changing your own 'hitbox' and so on, which is illegal in all games. So if you could change the title to "Day of Defeat: Source Config" or something, it would be great.
