--------------tr_walkway_rc2 by Washipato and Wiseguy149--------------

This is a practice map focused on bots walking in straight lines, useful for training general aimor special techniques, like airshots, airblast and airstabs... or just fooling around

For playing the map, you MUST JOIN THE RED TEAM

If it's your first time with the map, read the "Just starting" section and the "Notes" sectionat the end of the file. Both have very useful information about the map that you should knowwhen playing. Read "Special options" to know about strange buttons and options in the map.

It's recommended to have the developer console open for this map. You can find how to open it in thenext section.

This map has sv_cheats turned on, so your stats won't be saved :)

***********************************************************************************************Just starting***********************************************************************************************

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------INSTALLING THE MAP-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

**Skip this section if you already know how to install the map and open the cons

ole**

Copy the .bsp file from this rar into

C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\<youraccoutname>\team fortress 2\tf\maps

Replace <YOURSTEAMID> with your steamID, the one you log in with

Also copy this readme file too, in case you want to know extra information about the map

To play it, open TF2, press "Create server" and in map choose "tr_walkway_rc2".Be sure to

choose to have more than 17 players slots so the bots can join.JOIN THE RED TEAM

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------OPENING THE CONSOLE-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's very important to have the console opened for binding keys and loading alia



ses. This sectionexplains how to open it, in case you don't know how to.

Go to the "My games" tab in steam and right-click the "Team Fortress 2" game. From the menu,choose "Properties" and then click the "Set launch options..." button. In the text box, add"-console" without the quotes. The next time you open the game, the console will be open.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------CONTROL ROOM-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's possible to customize several options, like which classes spawn, how fast they walk, how longit takes to deploy more bots in the map, etc. Those options can be changed inside the "control room"firing or hitting the buttons. There are 5 kind of buttons, all of them intuitive.

1 light: Stand in front of it to know what it does. Shoot or hit the button to a

ctivate it.2 lights: Stand in front of it to know what it changes. The feature can be turned off and on. Greenlight means that the feature is activated, red that it's deactivated.3 lights: Stand in front to know what option is actually selected. Shoot or hitthe button to switchbetween the different options. Doing this changes the text to show the actual state.Plus button: raises a certain variable (movement speed, deploy time or launch-pad power)Minus button: lowers a certain variable (movement speed, deploy time or launch-pad power)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------TELEPORTING AROUND-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The players can teleport around the map using the console command "tr_teleport". Hit or shoot theyellow and black blocks around the map to change the teleport destination. Bindtr_teleport to akey of your keyboard to help you to move faster and lose less time walking. To do it, writein the console:

bind <KEY> "tr_teleport"

Replace <KEY> to any key you want and then press enter to load it. Press the selected keyto activate the teleport.

There are more commands for the map that can be useful to bind, like "tr_attackonce"and "tr_stop". More information about these in the console commands section.



***********************************************************************************************I want to know more***********************************************************************************************

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SPECIAL OPTIONS-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------In this section I will explain uses for some features in the map that are not so obviouslike the rest

**Invisible walls**Those are the walls at the sides of the track to make the bots stay on the walkway. You can turnthem off to practice airshots. The first option of turning the walls off is to hurt every bot outsidethe walkway. The seconds turns the walls off, but don't damage bots that escaped from the walkway.

**Headshot training spawn button**The bots and the way they move are not perfect. They play the "run" animation when moving, but theirhitbox (the part of them that detects when they are shot) stay in the "standing" animation.There is no known way to fix this, but the impact that it has on gameplay can be lowered usingthe "Spawn bots for headshot training" button. The bots will be facing a way sotheir heads willmatch better with their hitbox. Only engineers, snipers, spies and demomen workand it's not perfect

**Aim up + attack**

Useful for practicing long range pipebombs airblast or airstabs with pyros

**Aim down + attack**Real soldiers aim for your feet, you can choose to simulate that behavior. Aim down canalso be used to practice "airblast jumps"

**Bots ammount**If your computer can't manage the map, change the maximum ammount of bots,increasing the overall performance

**tr_stop and no speed option+tr_attackonce**Stopping the bots can be useful to practice airblast and airblast jumps.

**Resupply off**Turn it off to practice ammo management or if you want to play little games where thereis a chance of dying

**Resupply off+attack**This will make the bots attack, to add some "realism" and challenge to your practiceNote* Stay away from pyros...



**Hurt bots**One of the most useful options. Light classes will spawn with 1 hp when you enable it.Pyros will have 26 HP. This can be very useful to know how much damage are you doingwith every shot. Its also great for fooling around.

**Launch pad random power and trajectory**By default, the launchpad changes his power (how strong it pushes the bots) andhistrajectory (the initial strengths angle) in small lapses of time. Airshooting becomesmore realistic with these features on, but the random power can be turned off to selectwhich one you want and the random trajectory can be disabled too to get the same flyingpattern for every bot.

**Raise and lower the hill**Lower the hill if it's bothering you when training airshots or you want the bots to runin a straight line.

**Slope change**Useful for training stairstabs.

**...***Just for fun

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------EXAMPLE GAMEMODES-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

**Rocket+shotgun training**

Configuration:- Spawn light classes- Play soldier

Fire one rocket under a bot. When they are flying in the air shoot him with theshotgun. Try approaching the bots fromdifferent angles and distances. This is a useful technique that can be used in real servers. It's possible to use scouts,spies or medics too to practice.

**Airstab training**Configuration:

- Bind tr_teleport to any key (for example, bind f tr_teleport)- Play spy

Stand in a catwalk or somewhere high where bots walk (preferably near a black and yellow square). When a bot comes nearby,drop or jump over him, crouch and stab him as soon as you touch his back. If it's done well, you will do a backstab. Fortrying again, instead of walking to the spot where you started, shoot the yellow and black square and press the key youbound to tr_teleport. This will teleport you to that position (note that the tel



eport don't change after using it, thismeans that you don't need to shoot the square again every time you want to teleport to that place). The airstab techniqueis very useful to all spies, so its recommended that you know the timing for using it in real games.

Notice that you can change the speed to scout to make the training more difficult. You can also use the teleporters locatedon the beams in the roof for airstabing.

NOTE: airstabs has many names, like overhead stab, height advantage, etc. Some peoples says that they don't even need a name.I used airstab and stairstab to differentiate the gamemodes.

**Sniper training**Configuration:- Spawn bots for headshot training- Any dodging option (jump, strafe or back and forth)- Play sniper

Find a good spot and practice. The bots spawned for headshot training work quite well for shooting them from the side,compared to normal spawns. Find a quiet place and shoot them to the head. You ca

n also stand on the track and do twitch-shots.

**Basic air-strafing**Configuration:- Remove all bots- Launch-pad- No random power- High launch-pad power

Air strafing is useful for increasing rocket jump distance and decreasing the chances of being hitwhile flying. This readme will not go deep in this move but basically, you needto press the strafe key

without pressing neither "w" or "a" and slowly move the mouse in the direction of the strafe key(if you are strafing with "a", move slowly the mouse to the left). Normally, topractice thistechnique you need to to rocket jump to get the initial impulse. With the launch pad, you can getthe initial impulse easier and practice airstrafing after being launched. For example, try to getto the catwalks BEHIND of the launchpad or disable the random trajectory and using air strafe,get a bigger distance when traveling in a straight line.

**Stairstab training**Configuration:- Play spy

Stand on the slope where the bots walk uphill. When one of them is coming, jumpover him, crouch, spin 180º and hit himwith the knife when he is below you. Hopefully you will land a backstab. This is a famous trick, hard to pull offbut really rewarding, especially when its done to a real player. You can change the movement speed to scout to increase



the difficulty. Don't forget to change the slope too!

**ULTIMATE Sniper training**Configuration:- Spawn bots for headshot training- Bots move back and forth- Bots jump- Bots strafe- Short strafe time- Scout speed- Play sniper

Gamemode designed to make snipers cry (or feel godlike)

**Airblast training**Configuration:- Spawn airblast training classes- Make bots attack- Hurt bots (optional)- Bots aim down (optional)- Play pyro with default flamethrower

Practice rockets and pipebombs reflection. Hurt bots will make them easier to kill and botsaim down gives soldiers a more realistic behavior.

**Revolver training**Configuration:- Random bots- Bots move back and forth- Bots strafe- Long strafe timer- Play spy

Train aim with the revolver. Snipe with the revolver low health classes. Jump ar

ound a movelike crazy for making the practice more realistic

**Airblast jump**Configuration:- Spawn soldiers- Bots aim down- Stop movement button or tr_stop- tr_attackonce bound to any key (for example, bind f tr_attackonce)- Critical hits off (optional)- Play pyro with default flamethrower

Use the stop movement button after some soldiers are in the track to make them stop. You canalso use tr_stop console command. Find a soldier with an open space in front ofhim, preferablyat the beginning of the walkway and press the key binded to tr_attackonce. Position yourselfnear the rocket hit and closer to the soldier. To airblast jump, make the bot fire, when therocket is about to hit you, jump, crouch and airblast the rocket under you. Tryto reach high



places, like catwalks. Critical hits are turned off just in case you receive a critical rocketto your face, but it can be turned on to perform high jumps. Use bot_refill to give the soldiersammo and health.

**Hard airstab**Configuration:- Spawn pyros- Bots aim up- Make bots attack- Resupply off- Play spy

It's just like stairstabs, but it makes them a lot more challenging. This also simulates realpyros behaviour and let you see the real area of effect from the flame. Fail once and you willbe on fire, rushing to the medkit. NOTE: sometimes the pyro's flame will be invisible. To fixit you need to turn on and off the bot's attack (binding tr_attack to some key helps too)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------EXTRA BOTS-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The map will always spawn 16 bots. More bots can be spawned manually and will be teleported to the map.If you want more bots, spawn them using:

bot -team 0 -name <name>For kicking them, use

kick <name>

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------BOT COMMANDS-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Valve included some bot commands inside the game. Here I list some of those commands that canbe used inside the map.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ALIASES

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You can enter a string of these commands using a simple alias and change between differentways of playing the map. Alias are used to call a group of commands and are very useful forgeneral scripting in the source engine.

Example:



Enter this string in the console to create the "tr_airblast" alias:

alias tr_airblast "tr_default; wait 10; tr_spawn_airblast; tr_deploy_4; tr_attack_ON; tr_speed_heavy; tr_hurt_ON"

Copy and paste the whole sentence in the console and press enter. This will create the"tr_airblast" alias, which you can use anytime until you close TF2.

Entering this alias in the console (that is, writing "tr_airblast" without the quotes andpressing enter) will set every option to default, then spawn soldiers and demomen andforce them to attack and move slower. It will also make them appear every 4 seconds and hurtthem by 124 (soldiers will start with 76 hitpoints and demomen with 51). Go pyro and youwill have a perfect setup for practicing airblast.

Another example would be:

alias tr_hardstab "tr_default; wait 10; tr_spawn_pyros; tr_resupply_OFF; tr_attack_ON; tr_aim_up"

You can practice stairstabs (or how you like to call them) with any class or speed, but with thisalias pyros will spawn firing their flamethrowers aiming upwards and resupply will be turned off, makingthe practice a bit more challenging.

***********************************************************************************************The hard part of the walkway***********************************************************************************************

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

---------------CODING SYSTEM-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The map features programming tools. Though it's hard to use and counter-intuitive, it's amore powerful version of the scripts that come with TF2 by default and let you create simple testingtools and mini-games inside the walkway. It has 5 variables that can be increased, decrease, comparedand reset. It also has 3 timers, a customizable buttons and text. All of these can be manipulatedusing console commands.

The code is case sensitive. Most commands are aliases, but some others are ent_fire commands

*************************************************************************Events*************************************************************************

Events are the response of the coding system. They are commands that are loadedin the console.



There is an event after comparing 2 variables, when a bot walks to the end of the walkway, whena timer reach zero and so on. All of them have the form:

==================tr_ON<event>==================

For example, tr_ONEQUAL is loaded in the console every time 2 variables are compared and they are equalAll events don't have any effect in the game. The user must program them. To dothis, use:

==================alias tr_ON<event> "<action>" // Will do <action> every time the <event> happensalias tr_ON<event> // Will do nothing when the <event> happens==================

For example, every time the timer A reaches zero, deploy a bot in the walkway

==================alias tr_ONTIMERA "tr_deployonce"==================

More than one commands can be issued to a single event. This can be used to modify the event thatjust happened. Here, after the timer A is activated, wait and make every bot attack once andthen set the next activation to do nothing:==================alias tr_ONTIMERA "wait 120; tr_attackonce; alias tr_ONTIMERA"==================

Events are the core of the system. If you want or need, you can activate them like any command using==================tr_ON<event>

==================

Complete list of events and when they trigger:==================Bot positions:tr_ONSTART: a bot enters the start part of the walkwaytr_ONMID: a bot enters the middle part of the walkwaytr_ONEND: a bot enters the end of the walkwaytr_ONLEAVE: a bot leaves the walkway

Timers*************************************************************************

Timers are an important part of the programming system. They are 4 logic_timer entities, it's possibleto set the refire time for 3 of them (A, B and C), the last one is a random timer. All of them startdisabled, they must be turned on to work with them. When the timers are activated, they start acountdown of x seconds. When they reach zero, a command is loaded in the console and the timer restart.x must be a float a value with 2 decimals (5.05, is ok, 5.006 is not)

Timers (entity name):

Timer A-------Entity name: custom_timer_aEvent: tr_ONTIMERAInitial refire time: 0.01 seconds--COMMANDStr_ONTIMERA: eventtr_TIMERA_ON: turn on timer Atr_TIMERA_OFF: turn off timer A

ent_fire custom_timer_a refiretime x: set x as time for the timer ANote: this will be a special timer useful to load and compare variable

Timer B-------Entity name: custom_timer_bEvent: tr_ONTIMERBInitial refire time: 1 second--COMMANDS--tr_ONTIMERB: eventtr_TIMERB_ON: turn on timer Btr_TIMERB_OFF: turn off timer Bent_fire custom_timer_b refiretime x: set x as time for the timer B

Timer D

-------Entity name: custom_timer_DEvent: tr_ONTIMERDInitial refire time: 5(lower limit) to 10(upper limit) seconds--COMMANDS--tr_ONTIMERD: eventtr_TIMERD_ON: turn on timer Dtr_TIMERD_OFF: turn off timer Dent_fire custom_timer_d addoutput "LowerRandomBound x": set the lower limit of the random timer to x



ent_fire custom_timer_d addoutput "UpperRandomBound x": set the upper limit of the random timer to xNOTE: It's impossible to use "" inside aliases. The upper limit MUST be bigger than the lower limit

*************************************************************************Relay*************************************************************************The relay is an event that triggers one second after it was called. It's usefulfor setting up a program without using a timer, because some commands need otherfeatures activated to work (like moving the trajectory selection for the launch-pad,first you need to disable trajectory selection)

tr_RELAY: call the relaytr_ONTRIGGER: event. Triggers one second after calling the relay

*************************************************************************Position*************************************************************************It's possible to detect when a blu bot enters different parts of the walkway,that is when they enter it (START) are in the middle (MID) or at the end (END).This will be triggered once per time they enter it. You need to enable the events

before using them

tr_POSEVENT_ON: Enables position eventstr_POSEVENT_OFF: Disables position eventstr_ONSTART: event. Triggered when a bot enters the first part of the walkwaytr_ONMID: event. Triggered when a bot enters the middle part of the walkwaytr_ONEND: event. Triggered when a bot enters the final part of the walkwaytr_ONLEAVE: event. Triggered when a bot leaves the walkway (this includes beingkilled)

*************************************************************************Variables*************************************************************************

All of them are integers, and their starting value is 0.Their names are:======ABCDEBUFFER======BUFFER is a special variable. More about it later

You can do 4 operations with variables==================INC: increase by 1DEC: decrease by 1RESET: reset to 0LOAD: load the variable in the bufferent_fire custom_<VARIABLE>var setvalue x : Set the value of VARIABLE to x==================

All of these are issued by console commands in the way



==================tr_<VARIABLE><OPERATION>==================For example:

tr_TIMERA_ONalias tr_ONTIMERA "step1"alias step1 "tr_ARESET; alias tr_ONTIMERA step2"alias step2 "tr_AINC; alias tr_ONTIMERA; tr_TIMERA_OFF"

More about this structure in the next section

This lines will reset the variable A, wait 0.01 seconds using the timer A and increasethe variable A by 1. Final result: A = 1.

You can also do more advanced operations using ent_fire commands:

==================ent_fire custom_<VARIABLE>var add x : Add x to VARIABLEent_fire custom_<VARIABLE>var subtract x : Subtract x to VARIABLEent_fire custom_<VARIABLE>var multiply x : Multiply VARIABLE by xent_fire custom_<VARIABLE>var divide x : Divide VARIABLE by x==================

EVENTS FOR VARIABLES:

When a value from a variable is changed, the new value is compared to a specialnumber. Bydefault, that number is 0. The comparison will output a command depending on what is therelation between the value in the variable and the one used for comparing it. The comparevalue can be changed in any moment.

==================tr_ON<VARIABLE>EQUAL: <VARIABLE> is equal than his compare value after changing

the value of <VARIABLE>tr_ON<VARIABLE>NOTEQUAL: <VARIABLE> is not equal than his compare value after changing the value of <VARIABLE>tr_ON<VARIABLE>GREATERTHAN: <VARIABLE> is greater than his compare value after changing the value of <VARIABLE>tr_ON<VARIABLE>LESSTHAN: <VARIABLE> is less than his compare value after changing the value of <VARIABLE>ent_fire custom_<VARIABLE>varcomp setcomparevalue x: set the compare value of <VARIABLE> to x==================

*********Loading variables

*********Always after changing the value of a variable, a time lapse is needed before using thatvariable with the new value. The best way to be sure of getting the new value is usingthe special timer A and creating a line of steps in the form:

==================alias tr_ONTIMERA "step1"alias step1 "<action 1>; alias tr_ONTIMERA step2"



alias step2 "<action 2>; alias tr_ONTIMERA step3"alias step3 "<action 3>; alias tr_ONTIMERA step4"....

alias laststep "<last action>; alias tr_ONTIMERA; tr_TIMERA_OFF"==================

All actions will be activated with a 0.01 seconds delay between them. In every step,tr_ONTIMERA is set to the next step and in the final one, tr_ONTIMERA is set tonothing. The timer can also be disabled in this point until it's needed again and thenext step can be set to be the initial one.

All actions in a step are done simultaneously, so the order is not really important.

Always:

1) Load variables one step after the value has changed2) Change the value of a compare event one step before comparing or changing the variable3) If it's the last step, disable the timer or change the event of the timer tonothing

==================alias laststep "<last action>; alias tr_ONTIMERA step1; tr_TIMERA_OFF"==================

There is a good example in the "Compare" section

*************************************************************************Buffer*************************************************************************

To do any operation between two variables, you need to load them in the buffer first. Only one

variable can be buffered at the same time. The buffer is a variable, so you canmanipulate it likeone, except it cannot be loaded.

Special operations with the buffer:

==================tr_LOADX: load the integer in the buffer to the X variabletr_LOADY: load the integer in the buffer to the y variabletr_CASE: load the integer in the buffer to a the switch==================

*************************************************************************

Compare*************************************************************************

It's possible to compare one variable to another and know if it's equal, not equal,smaller or bigger. The engine always compares the variable X to Y, their valuescan bechanged using tr_LOADX and tr_LOADY. Those commands change the variables to thevaluein the buffer.



To compare X and Y, use:==================tr_CMP==================

It will compare them and call the following commands in the console (events):==================if X equal to Y: tr_ONCMPEQUALif X not equal to Y: tr_ONCMPNOTEQUALif X is bigger than Y: tr_ONCMPGREATERTHANif X is smaller than Y: tr_ONCMPLESSTHAN==================

For example, we want to compare variable A with B, if A is bigger than B, stop movement anddeploy. Here, the B variables has an initial value and A increases with the time. Copy thistext in a cfg file and name it var_test.cfg. Put the file in the /tf/cfg folder. Load it insidethe game using "exec var_test".

////////////////////////////////////////////// tr_ONGREATERTHAN will stop movement and deploy and then say "A is bigger than

B" in the// console. It also stops the main timer

alias "tr_ONCMPGREATERTHAN" "tr_stop; echo A is bigger than B; tr_TIMERB_OFF"

ent_fire custom_Bvar setvalue 3 // Initial value of B = 3

tr_ARESET // A is reset to 0

tr_TIMERB_ON // The timer B (1 second) is activated

alias tr_ONTIMERB "tr_AINC; tr_TIMERA_ON;echo O" // Each time the timer B triggers, A

// is increased, timer A is activated (0.01 seconds) and "O" is echoed in the console// to keep track on the time

alias tr_ONTIMERA "step1" // We set the fast timer to the first step in the line

alias step1 "tr_ALOAD;alias tr_ONTIMERA step2" // A is loaded in the buffer andset the next step to be step 2alias step2 "tr_LOADX;alias tr_ONTIMERA step3" // X is loaded with the value inthe buffer and set the next step to be step 3alias step3 "tr_BLOAD;alias tr_ONTIMERA step4" // B is loaded in the buffer andset the next step to be step 4alias step4 "tr_LOADY;alias tr_ONTIMERA step5" // Y is loaded with the value in

the buffer and set the next step to be step 5alias step5 "tr_CMP;alias tr_ONTIMERA step1;tr_TIMERA_OFF" // Compare, set the next step to be the first step and turn off timer A////////////////////////////////////////////

After loading the code, bots will stop moving and spawning and "A is bigger than B" willappear in the console.

*************************************************************************



Switch*************************************************************************

The switch compares the variable in the buffer with numbers between 0 and 15.To call the switch use

==================tr_CASE: compares the buffer to numbers between 0 and 15, then it triggersa case depending on the value.tr_CASERAND: choose one of the cases randomlytr_CASERANDSHUF: choose one of the cases randomly. The cases don't repeat untilall cases have been chosen==================

If the value of the buffer is equal to any of these numbers, an event willbe triggered in the form

==================tr_ONCASE00: if buffer is 0tr_ONCASE01: if buffer is 1tr_ONCASE02: if buffer is 2tr_ONCASE03: if buffer is 3tr_ONCASE04: if buffer is 4tr_ONCASE05: if buffer is 5

tr_ONCASE06: if buffer is 6tr_ONCASE07: if buffer is 7tr_ONCASE08: if buffer is 8tr_ONCASE09: if buffer is 9tr_ONCASE10: if buffer is 10tr_ONCASE11: if buffer is 11tr_ONCASE12: if buffer is 12tr_ONCASE13: if buffer is 13tr_ONCASE14: if buffer is 14tr_ONCASE15: if buffer is 15==================

In case of the value not being equal to any of these values, it will trigger ano

therevent

==================tr_ONCASEDEF==================

The switch can work like a randomizer using tr_CASERAND and tr_CASERANDSHUF

*************************************************************************Custom text*************************************************************************

Text that appears on screen. Can save up to 3 different lines. Only one text can stay onscreen at the same time. Warning: don't use the " symbol inside the message.

Commands:

==================tr_TEXT1: Display text 1 on screenent_fire custom_text1 addoutput "message <your message here>": Change the text 1tr_TEXT2: Display text 2 on screen



ent_fire custom_text2 addoutput "message <your message here>": Change the text 2tr_TEXT1: Display text 3 on screenent_fire custom_text3 addoutput "message <your message here>": Change the text 3==================

*************************************************************************Notes*************************************************************************

- If you want to damage a bot (or a player) by 124 hp using the "hurt bot" option, the player/botmust be teleported to (1664 566 510)- To change the damage inflicted by the hurt option, use the following command:

ent_fire hurtstart_trigger SetDamage X

Where X is two times the damage you want to do (by default, it is 248 and will reset to that valuewith tr_default)

*************************************************************************Galaga soldier mini-game*************************************************************************The map includes a mini-game showing some of the functions. It's located inside

tf/cfg/tr_walkway/minigames/gsoldier.cfgTo run it, enter "exec tr_walkway/minigames/gsoldier" in the console.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------CUSTOMIZE-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------There are some options around the map that can be tweaked by the user with commands. Those include thebot movement speed, timers used for different features and the angle the bots aim. Take in mind thatall of the commands listed use ent_fire and some of them use "addoutput", so han

dle them with careand check if they are well written before loading the command in the console.Commands with "" inside them cannot be used in aliases.

MOVEMENT SPEED****ent_fire walk addoutput "speed <speed>"****Replace <speed> with the speed you want

AIM DIRECTION****ent_fire destination_walkway addoutput "angles x y 0"

****x: This is the pitch. It goes from -90 to 90. -90 is straight up and 90 is straight down.y: This is the yaw. It goes from 0 to 360. 270 is forward, 90 is backward,0 and180 are left and right

DEPLOY TIME****ent_fire spawntimer refiretime <time>****



Replace <time> with the time you want

JUMP TIMER****ent_fire jump_timer refiretime <time>****Time between jumps. Choosing a small one will make bots accelerate.Replace <time> withthe time you want (default 1.75)

STRAFE TIMER****ent_fire strafe_timer refiretime <time>****Time it takes for the bots to change strafe direction. Replace <time> with the time youwant (default 1.75)

BACK AND FORTH TIMERS"Backward timer"****ent_fire back_timeron addoutput "LowerRandomBound <lowertime>"ent_fire back_timeron addoutput "UpperRandomBound <uppertime>"****

This timer controls when the bots go backwards. It's random, that means the timer changes it's refiretime everytime it ends counting. This time goes from <lowertime> to <uppertime>. Default values are<lowertime> = 2.5<uppertime> = 4.5If you want to change these values, make sure the <uppertime> is bigger than the <lowertime>

"Forward timer"****ent_fire back_timeroff refiretime <time>****

This timer triggers every <time> seconds (default 1.25). Every time it triggers, it makes the botsgo forward

LAUNCH PAD POWER****ent_fire launchpad_power addoutput "speed <power>"****This changes the power the launchpad pushes the bots. Use this command only when the "random power"option is not selected or the power will be reset to random after a fraction ofa second.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------NOTES (Important)-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- The bots don't walk, they are pushed using the track, so the behavior when they are pushed (airblast, FaN)or exploded is a little different from real players walking. That difference ishard to perceive now (rc)



- The hitboxes from the bots behaves in a different way from real walking bots.There is no way to fix this.- Damage spread is DISABLED by default. Having it enabled breaks the "hurt" function, making the124 damage done by it suffer the damage spread, sometimes doing more than 124 damage and killinglight classes- Don't use commands that issue move orders to bots (bot_flipout, bot_mimic). They will break the botsdeploy system- When playing multiplayer, certain cvars are disabled for clients- SV_CHEATS in ENABLED. Players can easily abuse this in LOTS of ways, so play with people youtrust. sv_cheats is turned on automatically after it is turned off.- The map is a release candidate (rc). If you have any suggestion or find a bug, contact one of the mappers(Wiseguy149 or Washipato) sending a mail to [email protected] or by steam (ID: washipato/profile: 76561197995187989)

I hope you enjoy the map and find it fun and useful. Good luck!

****NOTES FOR SERVER OWNERS****

The map will set at the start of the round the following configurations:# sv_cheats 1# mp_teams_unbalance_limit 0# mp_disable_respawn_times 1# mp_waitingforplayers_cancel 1# tf_damage_disablespread 1# tf_weapon_criticals 1

sv_cheats is turned on, so it's recommended to use a plugin to disallow player fromusing ent_fire commands. Disable any kind of external team-balancer plugin thatthe

server could be running
