I have a map sending a server command on some events, using point_server_command. Wondering if there's a way to use that server command in a LUA coded gameplay? After checking the CB list, my hopes are low, but still wanted to ask.

hmmm, the ony way i think you can hax it is make a cvar and check its value in the onthink function

[Doc.NO]

thanks. I think the cvar trick will do it.

Well I did it, and works great. If someone is interested, I used a trigger with a point_servercommand entity on the map


(bb_command is the point_servercommand)

And then, in the think() LUA CB:

Code: [Select]

	if(GetCVar("bb_mi6_score") == "1" and (GetTime() >= g_mi6_timer)) then
		g_mi6_timer = GetTime() + 2;
		-- any command you'd like goes here:
		AddToTeamScore(TEAM_MI6,1);
	elseif(GetCVar("bb_mi6_score") == "0") then
		g_mi6_timer = 0;
	end

I'm sure there is a better way to code that, but actually it works, and its all I want The only downside of this is the chat area spam on CVAR change.

Ill add a flag to create cvar which will remove the spam on change but its good to see you got it working.

You can capture the chat spam with the OnPlayerSay(..) Lua function and use LUA to regexp the chat to find the string that is for changing a CVar and just deny the printing... PHEW

you high again monkey?
