There is no "dark art" of tf2 scripts. Many scripts that are considered game-braking or ez mode for bad players(for ex. a ctap script) use the "wait" command anyways and since that is banned on most EU and NA servers there's no point in having such scripts

I was talking more along the lines of duckjump, charge&targe turning, and other things that aren't gamebreaking, but useful.

None of those are useful.

Charge script uses some controller emulator shit.

I use a rocket jump script for solly since pressing one button instead of 2 makes quick, split second rj's more reliable, but usually I still rocket jump the old fashioned way

alias "+pregamejump" "rcon sv_cheats 1; addcond 5"
alias "-pregamejump" "rcon sv_cheats 0"
bind [ "+pregamejump"

For when you're on a server with rcon access and want to practice jumping pregame without some shitlords killing you.

I guess switching addcond to hurtme might be a better idea though.

Edit: Oh also these for quickly switching loadouts:

bind LEFTARROW "load_itempreset 0; exec soldier.cfg; exec crosshairswitcher/switcher; soldier"
bind DOWNARROW "load_itempreset 1; exec soldier.cfg; exec crosshairswitcher/switcher; soldier"
bind RIGHTARROW "load_itempreset 2; exec soldier.cfg; exec crosshairswitcher/switcher; soldier"
bind UPARROW "load_itempreset 3; exec gardening.cfg"

The last one execs the gardening.cfg which switches weapon switch to mouse4 so you can still airstrafe while switching.

If you want to know a duckjump script, you may as well just teach yourself how to script.

TF2mate is an easy way to make your own simple binds; particularly of note is the class & weapon slot customizer.

Null-cancelling movement script (prevents your character from not moving due to pressing opposing movement keys):

// Null-Cancelling Movement Script

bind w +mfwd
bind s +mback
bind a +mleft
bind d +mright

alias +mfwd "-back;+forward;alias checkfwd +forward"
alias +mback "-forward;+back;alias checkback +back"
alias +mleft "-moveright;+moveleft;alias checkleft +moveleft"
alias +mright "-moveleft;+moveright;alias checkright +moveright"
alias -mfwd "-forward;checkback;alias checkfwd none"
alias -mback "-back;checkfwd;alias checkback none"
alias -mleft "-moveleft;checkright;alias checkleft none"
alias -mright "-moveright;checkleft;alias checkright none"
alias checkfwd none
alias checkback none
alias checkleft none
alias checkright none
alias none ""

(Only practical on Scout, not necessarily beneficial; also not shown, but my version causes the crosshair to change colors whenever a wasd key is pressed)

Duck-jump script:

// Duck-Jump Script

alias +dj "+duck;+jump"
alias -dj "-jump;-duck"
bind mouse2 +dj

Viewmodel toggle script:

// Viewmodel Toggle

bind mouse3 viewtoggle
alias viewtoggle viewoff
alias viewon "r_drawviewmodel 1;alias viewtoggle viewoff"
alias viewoff "r_drawviewmodel 0;alias viewtoggle viewon"

Zoom script (decreases FOV like a miniature scope, and slightly lowers sensitivity):

// Zoom Script

bind r zoomtoggle
alias zoomtoggle zoomoff
alias zoomon "sensitivity [LOWER SENS HERE];fov_desired 75;alias zoomtoggle zoomoff"
alias zoomoff "sensitivity [NORMAL SENS HERE];fov_desired 90;alias zoomtoggle zoomon"

Autocall script (causes health crosses to flash above all teammates, regardless of current health):

// Autocall Script

alias autocall_initial "hud_medicautocallersthreshold "50""
alias autocall_temp "hud_medicautocallersthreshold "150""
alias +autocall_temp_hit "autocall_temp"
alias -autocall_temp_hit "autocall_initial"
bind e +autocall_temp_hit

Spawn change script (toggles between loadout A and loadout B; double-pressing the key allows you to quickly access the resupply and/or change spawns when applicable; this script in particular does not require a class change, and allows medics to keep their ubercharge percentage; that requires the same medigun in both loadouts A and B, with at least one item different between them):

// Spawn Change/Resupply Script

alias movespawn_first "load_itempreset 1;alias movespawn_third movespawn_second"
alias movespawn_second "load_itempreset 0;alias movespawn_third movespawn_first"
alias movespawn_third movespawn_first
bind f3 movespawn_third

Charge-Turning Script (involves an external program to emulate a controller).

For the most part, you implement these scripts just as you would pre-Steampipe; that is, they go in steamapps/common/Team Fortress 2/tf/custom/[whatever]/cfg, where there should be each class's config files in addition to some others. You can pick and choose what classes you want the scripts to apply to by pasting the scripts in their respective classes' .cfg files, but keep in mind that any binds in these .cfg files will be stored in tf/cfg/config.cfg and will carry over onto other classes unless the keys are rebinded/unbinded. For example, you probably don't want the duck-jump script to occupy your mouse2 on a class like Demoman, so you would paste the duck-jump script in cout.cfg and put bind mouse2 +attack2;spec_prev in your other class configs (although you might as well rebind duck-jump to space if you actually use it).

YMMV when using any scripts.

Remember when tyrone tried to get the movement script banned?
Good times.

I used to have a Airblast-RS-AX script for playing pyro.

Literally, the easiest mode ever engaged.

    //volume script
    alias "inc_vol" "incrementvar volume 0 1 .05"
    alias "dec_vol" "incrementvar volume 0 1 -.05"
    bind "UPARROW" "inc_vol"
    bind "DOWNARROW" "dec_vol"
    bind rightarrow " toggle voice_scale 0.00 10.00
    bind leftarrow "volume 0.00"
    //left mutes all
    //right mutes voice chat in game
    //up and down slowly increase and decrease the vol

I slightly modified a script someone sent me, however I cannot remember who it was :c

Is chris fps config considered a script because it goes into autoexec.cfg? If it is then I would recommend that. Other than that there aren't that many scripts that "everyone should use" and the people that do use scripts just have some sort of personal preference for them.

turtle is the master of scripts talk to him CondescendingCockstick

Oh my god, I just wanted to learn about scripts, I wasn't expecting this response. Apparently scripts are cheating, so I'll stay away. You could have just told me that.

Scripts aren't cheating.

Some of them abuse exploits in the game (Interp toggle/targe turning) but for them most part scripts are just used to automate tedious shit like forward spawning and putting messages and such in teamchat when you uber ect ect.

As Ben said, only a few would be considered cheating. The idea is that most scripts are not really useful because you would get better results/more control with manual skill (duck-jump, null-movement cancelling, etc.). There are a few things that you can't do nearly as fast/painlessly without binds and scripts such as crosshair/weapon slot customizations or loadout switchers, but none of these are going to improve your gameplay by substantial amounts.

Just do what you're comfortable with.
