Almost anything with brackets that you have to repeat alot can be made shorter which means less space is used = profit? :carling:
Here is one example from my patch.
txt(var) { self iPrintln(var);}
Basicly var gets replaced by what ever you want. So if you have the above in your patch you can do
txt("Hello");
Instead of having to put
self iPrintln("Hello");
Doesnt look like it saves much space but when you do it with a few different things and throughout your whole patch it can make a big difference.
Here is a list of some that I use with an example.
txt(var) { self iPrintln(var);}
// txt("Message"); *Killfeed text*
txt2(var) { self iPrintlnBold(var);}
// txt2("Message"); *text in the middle of your screen*
doDvar(var,val){self setClientDvar(var,val);}
// doDvar( "g_gravity", "20" ); *Infections*
NPC(N, C){self notifyOnPlayerCommand( N, C );}
// NPC( "dpad_up", "+actionslot 1" ); *Binds*
GivePerk(var) { self maps\mp\perks\_perks::givePerk("specialty_"+var); }
// GivePerk("marathon"); *Give perks*
GiveKS(var){ self maps\mp\killstreaks\_killstreaks::giveKillstreak(var,false); }
// GiveKS("uav"); *Give Killstreaks*
SN(var) { self notify(var);}
// SN("StopGodMode"); *Stop Things* Here is some posted that people may find useful ( Credits to x_DaftVader_x )
sa(Val) { self setPlayerAngles(self.angles + (Val)); }
// sa(0, 180, 270); *Changes players angles*
iP(text) { self iprintlnbold(text); }
// iP("Message"); *Killfeed text*
w(V) { wait(V); }
// w(0.1); *Waits so many seconds 1 = 1 second ect*
ms(text) { self thread maps\mp\gametypes\_hud_message::hintMessage(text); }
// ms("Message"); *Text in the middle of your screen*
dD(var, val) { self setClientDvar(var, val); }
// dD( "g_gravity", "20" ); *Infections*
sD(var, val) { setDvar(var, val); }
// sD("party_connectTimeout",1000); *Temp Infections*
CU(n,t){self notifyOnPlayerCommand(n,t);}
shi(t) { self notify(t);}
// Added because of the 1337 names... xDCredits to TheUnkn0wn for doDvar and for giving me the idea to make more!
NOTE - you cannot use this for self endon
These are just examples. k thx bye
More Advanced Usage
So you can use this to make a massive reduction is the size of your coding.
I'll Just explain what I know from my short time of coding.
This is best used for things that have a lot of repeating, e.g Text.
The Letters get replaced by your input which you can later use to change small parts of the coding while keeping the main structure.
Test( C )
{
if (C==1) { txt("Hey Honey"); }
else if (C==2) { txt( "GTFO" ); }
}
If I was to do
doMessage()
{
Test( 1 )
}C is replaced by 1.
So the if (C==1){ is like saying if (1==1) { because we have replaced C with 1.
Thats about the best I can do to explain it to you, Be Creative!
Heres an example from my patch. Its for magic bullets
MagicBullets( bull )
{
self endon ( "death" );
self endon ( "StopMagicBullets" );
self notify ("StopExplosives");
for (;
{
self waittill( "weapon_fired" );
MagicBullet( bull, self getTagOrigin("tag_eye"), self GetCursorPos(), self );
wait 0.2;
} }
Then I can just do something like
MagicBullets( "at4_mp" );
Which means that because bull has been replaced by "at4_mp"
MagicBullet( bull, self getTagOrigin("tag_eye"), self GetCursorPos(), self );
Is now
MagicBullet( "at4_mp", self getTagOrigin("tag_eye"), self GetCursorPos(), self );

Hey Mossy, can you help me please, i made bombers and added a little bit of code but everytime i load up the game i get unknown function, i have tried everything and i can't get it to work, please help me man, i'll send you the code or somthing?
(obviously i haven't tried everything or i would have it working) lol

This is untested, but maybe a way to make it should work, this would keep it in one function instead of 2
Example:
txt(word,spot)
{
if(spot == 1)
{
self iPrintln(word);
}
else
{
self iPrintlnBold(word);
}
}
txt("Hello",1); //this would be the 'self iPrintln'
txt("Hellw",0); //this would be the 'self iPrintlnBold'
Completely untested, but you can add number varibles and you can make it one function and by adding a varible, tell the function to choose the location.

I would do this, for opmization and space saving
txt(T,B){if(B)self iPrintlnBold(T);else self iPrintln(T);}
txt("Hello",0); //this would be the 'self iPrintln'
txt("Hellw",1); //this would be the 'self iPrintlnBold'

You could do that but it is just another method, I personally prefer my method of using many small functions.
