CubeScript : problem with sleep

[Ashxelor]

Hi everyone,

Do you know why

[SELECT ALL] Code:

/sleep 1000 [say "hi"]

works, and why

[SELECT ALL] Code:

/sleep 1000 [jump]

doesn't ?

you have to bind it I think. It doesn't work to avoid some scripts (not sure). It's not perfect btw (see the hax jump bind)

[Ashxelor]

Nope doesn't work either with bind.

[Edward]

yeah I mean

[SELECT ALL] Code:

bind SPACE [jump]

will work but

[SELECT ALL] Code:

bind MOUSE1 [attack;jump; sleep 1000 [jump]]

wont

dunno ask 888 :p

[Ashxelor]

Yes, it seems sleep doesn't take movement instructions as arguments.

Yes, it seems sleep doesn't take movement instructions as arguments.

Rather, some functions explicitly check to see if their associated key is pressed or not.

[Ronald_Reagan]

Movement functions will only work when used in a bind. There is more complexity to this, but its about right.

[Vermi]

give that script an ambien!

Felix and Ronald_Reagan are right, movement functions/weapon switches/etc. only work when used with a keybind. So if you put any of those into a sleep (even if the sleep itself is keybound) it won't work.

Ex:

[cubescript]bind W [sleep 0 forward] // not gonna work with vanilla clients
bind W forward // should work fine

bind J [weapon 1; onrelease [weapon (currentprimary)]] // switches to pistol fine, but never switches back to primary onrelease[/cubescript]

Movement functions/weapon switches and such must be executed as the result of pressing a keybind to work. (i.e. instantaneously) By putting them into a sleep/onrelease it breaks that "rule".
