CubeScript : problem with sleep

[Ashxelor]

Hi everyone,

Do you know why

Code:

/sleep 1000 [say "hi"]

works, and why

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

Code:

bind SPACE [jump]

will work but

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.

[Felix-The-Ghost]

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.

give that script an ambien!

[Bukz]

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".
