Impulse commands

[redrum]

Guys, is there a way to have an impulse command automatically executed after map changes?

Can I edit some engine code to do this?

I'm trying to get frikbots to auto-join after map changes.

Thanks in advance!

Use saved1 1. Put it in your autoexec.cfg. I don't know if this will work with Quakeworld, but it works in Netquake.

No, does not work for QW.
Is there a work around?
Maybe edit some code?

stuffcmd to the server for the impulse 100 addbot whenever the match starts... might want to have rand() + a few seconds to make it a little random in timing.

just an idea, from a noncoder.

Though shouldnt the bots stay around as clients when the map changes through a changelevel?

Ok, I got it to work

I added stuffcmd(self, "impulse 100;\n"); to ClientConnect in client.qc.

I tried to add stuffcmd(self, "impulse 102;\n"); to ClientDisconnect to remove a bot when a client disconnects, but it did not work

I want to do this b/c otherwise if people join then leave eventually there will be too many bots.

Also, if someone could help me with adding a different number of bots depending on which map will be loaded that would be great.

Thanks.

For one thing, don't use stuffcmd, as it sends the message to a single client, and if that client isn't the server (where the gamecode is run) it won't do anything.

localcmd("impulse 100\n");

That sends the message to the server. So your method, I think, would add a bot everytime a new client joins. (So if there are 4 clients there are 4 bots as well). If you want an independent number of bots, put it in worldspawn, preferably after a short timer.

But then again, you should probably just call the QC function that impulse 100 calls.

Thanks, I think, I'm more confused now than before.

How do I go about adding it to Worldspawn?

I'm just beginning to learn how to do this stuff.

Thanks for the input, I appreciate it.
